Default full length racing stripe kit

anyone put one of these on your car - who did you get to install? Body shop...? I will not try to attempt this and wanted to do it but have no clue where to start with finding someone to install?

Default racing stripe

I am in Houston, just got it installed at a body shop in Tomball. Johnny Bang brought someone from outside his business to do the job. It took over 5 hours.
He said that the roof panels were hard to lay down because of the indentions. Looks great the pearl white on the carlisle blue, my wife's GS.

If you want to make it right, have them painted and remove the orange peel why you are on it...

I installed mine myself. You MUST have an assistant and install in a garage (the tiniest bit of dust or debris under the stripe shows!). Be patient, measure and mark with painters tape and did I mention, be patient.

Mine turned out flawlessly and took about 8-9 hours.
