backafter20 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I would love to add that Terlingua sticker, just for the heritage value, but I went with a red accent on my 08 Vista SGT. Red fender stripes and matching red CS center caps, all playing off the red in the PBF emblem. I think the yellow of the Terlingua sticker would be too much. Maybe one on the rear where the red doesn't show? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFBLUE Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Roger my man, I got the silver ones today. Thanks! Now I just have to decide where to place them. Gap will be centered on the wheel hub, but I have to decide where to place the upper edge...decisions decisions. You can see from the attached pictures that placing them parallel to the angle of the front fender/hood will be more angled than the original position (in yellow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see from the attached picture that placing them parallel to the angle of the front fender/hood will be more angled than the original position (in yellow) Blue - OK now I know what your trying to accomplish. You want the stripes to be more angled than the original directions by Roger. You know that might be a good idea as it would "possibly" give the car a more arrow dynamic appearance than the original way. So do it that way and lets see them when they are on. Of course you know the downside...if they look like crap you'll have to remove them and do it again. Do you think the stripes are to straight up and down with the currect application? Tell me if I got your theory right. Swede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFBLUE Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Swede, this is opening up a can of worms...Roger and I discussed this on the phone and exchange emails but I'm still a little confused. My understanding of what Roger originally intended was for the stripes to be parallel to the angle of the hood/fender as you look from above. Using the measurements Roger provided didn't achieve this result for me. Why? I don't know. Did I measure wrong (hood crease vs hood edge) or was my understanding of Roger's intent incorrect. Maybe Roger was refering to having the stripes be parallel to the leading edge of the hood/fender as you look at the car from the side. This will give a different (shallower angle) than the blue painters' stripe above (which are parallel to the hood/fender angle when looking from above). Before I do this, I need to make sure the stripes are long enough for the more aggressive angle. Also note that when you angle the stripes, a 2" stripe and 1" gap are going to be wider than this as you measure along the hood seam. e.g. the 2" painters' stripes are 2 5/8" wide as you measure along the seam. An alternative and much easier solution is to use the rubber bushings inside the hood on both sides as the center point for the gap. The bushings are about 3/4" of an inch wide. This will result in an angle that is in between the blue and yellow but much closer to the yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TClark1976 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I am wondering if it wasn't in fact parrallel to the fender line when looking at it from the side????? Using the line/angle of the leading edge of the fender from the top as it comes down to where the bumper cover meets the fender. . . . These stripes seem to be more in line with THAT angle than they do with the angle of the fender edge when looking straight down from the top. Take a look at my signature photo below - see how the stipes line up more with that angle???? I think this is what Roger was getting at......... My personal opinion. . . . they would look a little too steeply slanted. As your car is driving by - who's going to see that you lined your stripes up with that angle on top as opposed to using the angle of the leading edge of the fender when you look at your car from the side??? Some people have also not lined up the stripes with the 'center' of the wheel hub or the wheel opening - (no disrespect to those who have done this) that, to me, is a must as it would drive me nuts if it wasn't lined up that way (center of the wheel opening) - I'm a little obsessive about things being lined up right. One thing you could do is before you peel the stripes off and place them - perhaps tape them in place with few pieces of tape and walk around the car a little bit - looking at it from several different angles and see what catches your eye more - your way - or lined up the way the directions suggest.

AFBLUE Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I think you are right about Roger going for parallel with the side angle of the light bucket edge. Because there are so many variables involved in the measurements (e.g. measuring from the fender edge vs the hood edge along the seam gives different lengths and should you measure from the crease or edge of the hood/fender); Because of these variables I sent a pm out to 6 of you asking: What is the distance between the center of your stripe gap and the center of the rubber hood bushing (visible in the seam when hood is closed). If anyone else who has done the install wants to PM that measurement, please do. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone else who has done the install wants to PM that measurement, please do. Thanks Actually, the center of my front stripe is where the rubber bumper is, so I'm probably at even less of an angle than you guys...It doesn't have to be perfect guys! Remember, most of these stripes were just tape plastered on a fender real quick just for identification purposes...they didn't measure everything to make sure it was exactly right...Only thing I did was after I got my first one on, I ran a piece of painters tape across the front of it to the center of the hood then ran another from there to the other fender to give me a guide line to work off of to help keep them close to the same angle...I tried the leading edge of the hood at first, and it looked too steep in my opinion, so I backed it off just a little...Hope this helps... And Blue, you are right about the measurements...I couldn't get a good one with a metal tape measure from the bottom edge of the hood to the stripe or from the leading edge...maybe a fabric tape if your wife does any sewing, but I didn't have one to try....
