Been a long time since I wrote in here & doubt if anyone is paying attention to this woefully neglected blog but I'll give it a shot now.

It's been 11 yrs since I got Knikki back on the road after her repaint down @Auto Atlanta. I was never happy with the job they did on the LE side stickers- really a half ass job. The original stickers went all the way into the wheel wells & the silhouette letters were evenly spaced. As you can see from the 1st picture, whoever applied the side stripes down @ AA had no clue what he was doing-

The vertical line on the E is way too fat & the stripes don't wrap all the way into the wells. I was smart enough to take pictures of the car before I had it repainted & you can see how the stripes are supposed to look in the 2nd picture-

So I peeled both sides off & purchased 2 complete sets of orange side stripes, watched a few how too videos on Youtube & bought this application kit (fluid & squeege) from Griots' garage, (3rd picture)

Now I'm just waiting for this blasted winter to end so I can roll Knikki out & spend an afternoon applying the stripes as they should be. Once done if all goes well I will be honestly able to say that I own one of the finest creamsicles on the planet smile.gif
