Default Bed Stripe

After I had ordered my wheels I started googling "dakota with srt 10 wheels" to see how they would look on my dakota and I found this dakota on cardomain

I liked the bed stripe alot so I pm'ed Eric and he pointed me in the right direction on where to have custom ones made (Klings Designs) and the guy did a great job working with me to get it the way I liked it. I did not want srt-8 on it like the other guy had. This is the sample he sent me.

I got them in the mail today he sent them priority at no extra charge. So i got them really quick from the time i ordered them and they look fantastic, just like the sample, I could not be happier and Travis was a joy to deal with, the customer service was great.

Anyways, who has put these on before? Are their any tips or hints you could give me to make putting them on easier for me? Thanks.

LOL I wish! I have always loved the vipers. They are one of the baddest cars out there. I cant believe this is the last year they are making them

Klings should have sent you instructions... but you know the basics make sure the surface is clean and dry, have someone help you line it up and put it on, once it starts sticking you don't want to have to start over. Don't forget to ease back into driving, those babies add some horsepower.

i've put these on another dakota before...and i just lined it up where i wanted it and taped it down...then started slowly from the top using something flat and hard...like a credit card to push over it to make sure it sits flately on it and wont come up when peeling the paper up. Thats what i did so i mean if it helps then cool if not i'm sorry for the waste lol!
