did a small (easy) section to test. I think I can do it, but I'm worried about getting the stripes to curve around some of the other body lines.

Posting for your reference if you want to see what Honda has done on the Sport -- mine came with pinstripes as part of a dealer-applied Appearance Pkg. The line is higher than your test and maybe avoids some of the creases in the metal. I took this pic yesterday when doing a tire rotation on my wife's jeep and positioned the wheels just to see -- LOL.

Also had this dealer pic on the my computer which shows how they ran the stripes at top edge of gas door. << edit - Looks to be lower than coopermidnight's SI, as my stripes run across the top of the door. >> Of course totally different car but my preference would be to go to the point of the tail light, like in your test. Good luck.

Thanks, I used to do stuff like that at work. Believe it or not it’s not that hard. Just a little practice!

Settled on this for my final design. 1 side of the car is done. I'm having some trouble getting the stripes to stick when i wrap them around the door openings. is it a matter of making sure it REALLY clean in there, or is there a technique to getting them to stick around a corner?

Just make sure to clean there. Alcohol is best to remove crud and oils. Don’t worry it won’t hurt the paint. On the doors and fenders just wipe down with a clean rag.

Nice ?. At first I thought that I wasn’t going to like it but it works really good! Ties the rest of the red in nicely!
