Here are the dimensions I used to install the fender stripes on my wifes GT/CS. If you like the look I suggest you take a piece of Blue painters tape and stretch it out on your table.

Put a starting mark on it like this.

Then measure out 17-3/8 " and put another mark on it. That is the mark for the start of the fender stripe. Also put a mark at 20-1/8" for the Center of the 1 inch space that goes between the 2 stripes.

Posted Image

This will leave you a piece of layout tape like this.

Posted Image

Then take the piece of tape and put it on your car. Make sure the first mark is at the start of the fender by the headlight like this.

Posted Image

Lay the tape out on the top of the fender to give you the fender stripe locations like this.

Posted Image

To lay out the location of the bottom of the stripes I plumbed straight up from the center of the rim and put a mark on the tape in the following location on the fender crease.

This pic shows the top lay out and the bottom lay out.

I suggest you then use a piece of 1 inch painters tape and apply it to your car fender that will represent the center space (the 1 inch gap space). Then lay your stripe to that leading edge of your tape. Apply one stripe at a time and go very slow and rub the stripe as you go with a wet finger. If your finger is wet it will provide lubrication for your finger to slide on the stripe easily. Go slow and you will not have any bubbles. Rub your finger constantly on the stripe as you go to prevent bubbles.

You can buy the stripes at any stripe or decal shop. They are 2 inches wide. Buy 2 of them 20 inches long. The space in the middle is 1 inch.



Don't pay over 20 bucks.
