blackflame: I used a small tip Sharpie to measure and mark the space between the stripes. The tiny marks can always be removed with a q-tip and some finger-nail polish remover. Also, in case u didn't know, the pin-stripe edges (2 pin stripes on either side of the big thick one) are kinda built in, when you put the stripes down, these are already positioned, then once down, you remove a clear plastic top coat that was holding them all in position (hope I explained that right)

...on the exhaust... actually, I think they can be pulled in at least a little more... just by bending the hangers attached to the frame in towards the front some...seems to be enought play and flex to do this
