No matter how you apply it, it looks hilarious!

I don't care what it looks like in transit as long as I don't have to scrape bugs off when I get there...

Oh, if I can make mine look better we will just say you suck at applying vinyl also..

Honestly, I tried billions of times and it just doesn't look good. I really felt like painters tape looked much better and more professional.

The one thing I didn't try was using a heat gun to see if I could conform to curves better, but I wasn't sure what would happen to the adhesive if I did that. I didn't want to rip any paint off of it.

Speaking of which, it DID leave a bit of a residue that was hard to remove.

I ended up giving up and went down there without any coverage. There wasn't much in the way of bugs so the car was looking good on arrival.
