I have a couple of questions: How do i remove the chrome trim peices that run along the sides of my maro? How do i get the paint off of my front and rear bumpers? How do I know exactly where to put racing stripes? Do i need to remove my rear finn, and if so; I know how to take off the hatch part but can't see how to get the sides off. And is there anything else i might need to know? Other than Tapeing off and masking and stuff.. Confused

Stripes on hood for example:

start at the front and measure how wide the hood is
divide that number by 2 and get the center point
figure out how far apart you want your stripes (mine are 3 in apart i think)
take that number and also divide it by 2 (1.5" ) and measure that on each side of center point.

do the same thing for multiple points down the hood and then just line up the dots for the inside lines.

Then figure out how wide you want your stripes to be and do the same thing. Just keep measuring from the center point to make sure they are consistent.

Trust me, It is a PAIN IN THE A$$ but worth it.

oh, and mine are not one consistant width on the front. they start narrow and widen with the hood as they go back, i just followed the lines on the hood for that part.

feel free to ask more if need be
