Smile Dealer has ordered all new hood stripes (GM)

Look at the corner of the outline stripe. One has a radius and the other is square cut. Also the texture of the material is different. One looks like a shiney color and the other is dull.

If you have had trouble getting the job done correctly. Check you stripes out. The orginal GM stripe has square cut corners.
The service mgr. is being very nice about the whole thing. The 3rd party guy is another story.
