installing hockey stick stripes

ive decided to buy a set of car length hockey stick stripes for the camaro, but im really worried about installing them. i want a clean, straight, even install, but i dont really have any experience laying down vinyl. im willing to take as much time as needed, but im not sure if i can do it at all. any tips? thanks

I would be terrified as well. I'd pay someone to do it, like a place that does van lettering perhaps. If you do go for it, I'd say really take your time. It always seems the more expensive the sticker/decal, the more likely it might get messed up lol. Not trying to scare you any more than you already are, I just KNOW I'd screw it up. Doesn't necessarily mean YOU will though! Good luck!

Re: installing hockey stick stripes

well, i feel somewhat like an idiot now. i was under the impression that the decals would be peel and stick. but they seem to be somewhat like window tint. so id lay them on the car with all protectors in place (maybe use some magnets to hold them or something), and measure and mark with masking tape or something in as many places as possible. then, since they can be moved around after application, it shouldnt be too difficult to put them where i want them. worst case scenario, they turn out horrible, and i waste a total of 5-6 hours putting them on and removing them, and am out $100 or so. im honestly ok with that risk.
