Overall, it turned out okay. Grand Sport Hash Marks....

Turns out that the clearcoat on this car is not only thin, but weak as hell too. I tried putting them on DRY (like I've always put Vinyl on before) But screwed up and had some creases. When I pulled them off slowly, I pulled clearcoat up with it Sad I felt like a complete dumbass. I did the next set (I bought enough for two) WET, and it turned out a lot better. I still have to cut some excess off, and make sure that the edges under the hood are pulled down right, but as you can see in THIS pic...... the paint got pretty fucked up. I said "screw it, the car needs a complete re-paint eventally anyways, so the fucking stripes are going on for now:

Oh well. The car wasn't perfect, and you can't really tell from about two arms lengths away. FYI, that last pic may be a bit deceiving, all that got pulled up was the clear-coat. Its still blue on the left there Smile


What do you guys think?

I dont even like them on grand sports. I have seen a new mustang with them and dont like them on there either. Too bad about the clear coat.
