How to Install Black Rocker Stripes on your Mustang

Step 1:  

Using a razor blade or scissors, cut down the center of the sheet dividing the two sections of stripes. 

Step 2:  

Spray rocker panel with a generous amount of the soap and water mixture. 

Step 3:  

Apply stripes to rocker panel area. You will be able to maneuver the strips into their final posi-tions once on the car because of the soap and water mixture you sprayed earlier. Use the body line above or below the rocker stripe to measure equally on each end for the height of the stripes on the car. This is usually centered in that area depending on your model year. 

Step 4:  

Once you have the stripes in their final posi-tion, use the plastic squeegee to push any air bubbles out to the edges of the stripes. It is easier to remove bubbles by squeegeeing from the center out to the edges. 

Step 5:  

Once the stripes are squeegeed and flat spray the transfer tape with the soap and water gener-ously, the tape then becomes a little bit more transparent. Re squeegee to ensure the stripes are flat. Let the tape soak a while this will sof-ten the adhesive of the tape and give the stripes a chance to dry and adhere underneath. 

Step 6:  

Once you have all of the air bubbles out and stripes have dried underneath, slowly peel the transfer tape from the stripes. Pull the tape as flat on the car as possible this will help prevent the tape from pulling up the vinyl. One trick that may be helpful is to place a squeegee on the transfer tape and peel it back against the squeegee while holding the squeegee down on the decal keeping it tight on the tape that’s being pulled. 

Step 7:  

Use a sharp razor blade to cut any excess vinyl at the wheel well opening and either cut it flush or tuck it inside the wheel well as shown. Also cut the stripes between the door gaps and wrap the ends around the door and body.
