For those of you who have the zl1 stripe kit how hard was it to install? the manufactorer said that it is a PITA and he doesnt recomend it, but i dont see whats so hard about it. The spoiler looks like the hardest part never mind the stinger scoop. Isnt the scoop piece just a single piece? Just peel and place on? Same goes for the spoiler and trunk lid right?

If you have never installed decals before I really think you should have it done by someone who knows what they are doing.

It looks easy but trust me it isn't.

Oh no. No where near that easy :) Well, you can do it like that but you'll have tons of bubbles and wrinkles.

Take a look here for an idea of what you are up against...

just use some soapy water to apply the vinyl...that way you can move it around until you get it set where you want it...

I mean i bet i could do the rear stripes fine its only 1 stripe i just have to measure it, just spray soapy water on the vinal so it moves, around. The spoiler looks like 3 pieces, top of spoiler, trunk lid, where it meets the hatch glass and finally the lower portion of the trunklid where it meets the rear valance, i was thinking of haveing the stinger painted, but it looks expensive. Atleast 250 for just the scoop. I am gunna e-mail the owner of thirdgendecals to see if he has any pics of the install process. And i havent intalled anything this big before, except some stock stripes and logos on my old Monte SS when i had it.
