Default Re: 72 TA : New Project

Finally got back in town and installed the Phoenix Graphix hood stripe. The stripe seems to be the right color and dimension and matches the Stencils&Stripes brand roof and trunk decals. The quality control of the trimming of the clear outer area leaves a lot to be desired, though. It ranges from 3/8 inch in the corners to 1 mm along the sides. Not very good trimming done by the manufacturer, at all. (Still better than the non-existent 1-year back-ordered hood stripe that never arrived from the other stripe maker.)

It will take a few days for the remaining bubbles to evaporate and then it should look pretty good. It was a bear getting that cut out to properly match the shaker hole. Took about 2 hours with a lot of application gel.
