Rocker Stripe Installation

This page is for detailed instructions on how to install the Rocker Stripe Decals. If you are looking for instructions on a different product, go here.

CERAMIC COATED CARS: Please understand that your ceramic coating will reduce the vinyl's ability to stick to your car, and may lead to easy peeling or pulling away. It is strongly recommended that you first remove the ceramic coating in the areas your wish to put the vinyl on, then once the vinyl is installed and has had time to fully set in, re-apply the ceramic coating to the area.

NOTE: If you are not familiar with vinyl decal or car wrap installation, we strongly recommend professional installation to reduce the risk for error or mistakes. We understand that mistakes happen. While mistakes in installation are not covered in our returns policy, if you should slip up and need some replacement pieces, please reach out to us via email: support@mustangrestyled.com and we will do everything we can to get you just the replacement pieces you need at a reduced price.

Layout reference

 

  1. Start with the rear panel. Line it up with the upper right corner (closest to the door) as your reference and then follow roughly 1/8 inch gap between the top of the vinyl and that panel edge. Follow the curve on the right side as well, but don't wrap over into the door seam. Leave a 1/16 inch gap. Once those two edges are smoothed down, you can slowly use the squeegee to smooth out the remaining stripe section working from the top right to the bottom left sides.
  2. Next, do the large main door piece. Align the top left within the body lines and so that it makes a straight slightly angled line with the rear piece. Again keep about 1/8 inch gap on the top/bottom of the decals, and a 1/16 inch or less on the door seam side, but do not wrap around into the seam.
  3. Next we recommend going to the front smaller pieces. Align so the left side of the bigger piece is close to the seam, and the bottom is very close to the panel seam there as well. Some overlap is ok, but may make the vinyl harder to stay put so we recommend leaving the 1/32 inch gap or so.

  4. The final piece, the hash marks. Using the transfer tape, try to line up the top of the hash marks so that the front most small triangle top matches with the front piece in a straight line, and also the rear hash mark top lines up with the big rear door piece. A bit of variance is ok, but in general try to keep the hash marks inside of the curved door section without going too high on the door panel.
