Craig Well, not in Modesto CA and in the color I want. I could of course pay to have a roll ordered in the color I want or go elsewhere and pay a minimum $200 order. I'll have to make a roadtrip when I find some somewhere or order some off the internet and hope they're what I want. I'm not trying to be picky either I just want them to come close to matching the silver. Anybody know a place I can order some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TClark1976 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 It's pretty simple really. Some have lined up the angle of the stripes with the vertical angle at the front edge of the fender where it meets the head lamp. If you open your hood - you will find a black rubber bumper on either side that's approx 3/4" wide and about 18" back on the top of the fender. . . . . . . . . . ok here goes. The stripes are / - - - -2"- - - - /<---1"--->/ - - - -2"- - - - / (the 1" space is important - it's the same space between the lemans stripes across the top of the veh) The 1" space between the fender stripes is used to center them in the wheel opneing and align the angle of the stipes on the fender. Find the center of the wheel opening going straight up from the center of the wheel (I used 1" wide painters tape and a small level to do this) with the tape in place there you have now found center of your wheel opening. Some have used that black 3/4" hood bumper to center on. Other's have measured from the leading edge of the fender. I installed mine by measuring from the leading edge of the fender and aligning them with the angle of the fender/head lamp angle. Using the black hood bumper on the top of the fender gives a slightly more agressive forward angle if that makes sense. Take another piece of 1" tape and go from the spot at the top/center of the wheel opening, up to, and centered on, the black hood bumper on the top of the fender. This 1" tape will now serve as your spacer between the two 2" stripes. Spray a little soapy water or even detailer's spray lay the stripes in place one at a time and squeegy the water/liquid out from under them ensuring no bubbles, and let sit. Once they've set and are stuck in place there - you can either trim the stripes at the edge of the panel, or roll the stripe over the edge of the fender panel and trim them that way. I cut mine at the very edge and did not roll them over. I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of GT Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Roger Sorel used to sell the FIA stripes, but I don't know if he still does since he got on board with SAI. You could contact him and check though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uno Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I like 'em! What's the procedure for positioning them and getting them on? i plumbed the center cap from the wheel. with a 1" piece of masking tape. Then set the angle i liked with another 1 inch piece of masking tape. Then put the vinyl on both sides of that angled piece of tape, using the tape as a template.
