Re: Sonic earned his STRIPES

I got them on ebay. Same ones.

They went on pretty easy. I would recommend using blue tape to outline the area so they go on straight the first time, and avoid scratching the paint while using the credit card to smooth the bubbles out. Also do not smooth out any bubbles after peeling the top layer. These scratch easily. Trim the door openings carefully and slowly so you stay in the middle. It is hard to stay in the middle. I will have to wait for a daylight overview before posting "results" since I finished in the dark and have no idea how it really came out.

Re: Sonic earned his STRIPES

I am not sure, but I think you love Sonic more than anyone here loves their FJ, and that says a lot.

I put the same ones on mine a while back. I would reccommend going to Wal-Mart or I am sure any auto part store and getting a window tinting kit. It will come with a hand held size rubber squeegee that worked great for this application. It also works well for applying the "clear bra" for the front-end. Cost was around $3.00.

Yours look GREAT, BTW!!
