    This is with Decals! Sorry for the sawdust on the car. After they were put on they started sawing wood! I thought the license plate was a nice touch...

    Looks good. (y)
    How tricky was it keeping the lines straight? Does the vinyl pull off if you see it going crooked?

    That looks great! Is that a factory color on the stripes? That's bright! I love it!

    very nice job. I was considering putting decals on my maverick but after doing body work on my scout which has decals, i decided to stay away from decals. They are insanely hard to take off...so if i ever wanted to repaint my car 30 years from now, i wouldnt have to deal with taking decals off.

    but yes, very good job.
