looks good to me except for the bubbles. if you rotate the rear stripe clockwise a smidge, it might be perfect!

with the bubbles there I don't think too highly of the installer.

Bubbles are no big deal, easy to get rid of and usually they'll just bleed through all by themselves in a couple of days. That being said.. on a decal that small, you would actually have to work hard to get bubbles.

Honestly...from the pictures it looks like your installer really screwed up the job. It appears to me that there is a millimeter (or 2 or 3) more space between the bottom of the stripes than there is between the top of the stripes...which would account for the right stripe not reaching the wheel well body line like it is supposed too. That along with the air bubbles pretty much has botched job written all over it.

I hear what your saying, however, The stripes themselves were cut terribly. It wasn't a continuous radius cut hence why you can see the corner of the secons stripe doesnt continue down. This leads me to believe they were done quickly and by lazy hand.

But it doesn't matter now because I had a local shop (not the original installer) recreate them and cut them and they turned out perfect. Ended up costing me another $100 but I'm 100% happier with them.
