If you want a true bumble bee stripes they need to be painted on and go completely around the rear spoiler and the gills. These plastic stripes are all just various sticker combinations. Search the site to actually see them done right. or right here

not that good looking hmm ok if they are true bumble stripes then why dont they follow the lines on of the car???
dont get me wrong they dont look bad , but they dont look great

Those look really awesome. My stripes are metallic silver like the OP's but those CGM ones look really good. Where did you get them? I should be installing my stripes on my 1LT/RS this weekend hopefully.

had them painted at a local dealer

Close but no cigar:



Not that yours look bad or anything. They are not tapered enough at the end as they start approaching the mailslot, the outside most corners are too square and the edge around the mailslot should follow the angles of the mailslot, and not your front facia. Your trunk lid is spot on though.

I am not saying this to be a dick, I am just pointing out if someone wants to do exact bumblebee stripes, a few things I have noticed in my research on how the stripes were put together.

well it is a hell of a lot closer than the gray at least I went around the spoiler and did the gills for a true bumble bee stripe package, sorry the front is a micro off. The trunk looks like the factory stickers even though they are painted. The 69s also went all around the spoiler they never stopped half way. Don't call it a bumblebee stripe unless its done complete, other wise they are just stripes. But it is one hot looking car.

I installed my stripes yesterday. Man, that was a pain. I'm pleased with the way they turned out though.

Thanks! I put a few vinyl pieces on an '04 Mustang GT. Actually it was a decent amount. I put the lower side stripes on there, a spoiler stripe, a shaker piece, and a hood piece.

The only part that I'm not happy with is the part where the hood meets the fascia. the vinyl was way too long and needed to be cut. My cuts weren't as good as they could have been. I can still go in a fix it, which I probably will, but it would have been nice if I didn't have to do that.
