So I opted to go with auto parts store 'tape' first to make sure that I actually liked them.
Since it's $10 cheapo pinstripe, it's not exact to the factory specs, but it does give you an idea, which was all I wanted.
I know the placement is probably off a little bit though.
Jury is still out, but I do kind of like the way it looks with them.
I'm going to leave it as-is for now until I decide if I want to make this permanent with paint.
Yeah, I was in the same boat myself. For me it's not enough of an effect to go to the trouble of painting it. Also, it brings attention to some less than perfect body lines in that area on my car. Looks good on yours though!
