Looks great 1er junkie! I'll definitely be doing the same method myself but I do have a question for you.

As a perfectionist, I'd like to know why you made the vinyl run more forward than it needed to in order to cover the amber section?



I understand that it is unavoidable on side A and B, but why did you make side C further out than it needs to be?

As I said before, I'm a perfectionist and this would bother me but you did a great job on the vinyls! Congrats! :thumbup:

Im guessing you have to go passed the amber from the side to make sure it doesnt show straight on.

+1234982307498234759827389723487 . This took 2 attempts. The first attempt I went EVEN with the amber, and, when you looked at it head on, you could see the amber reflectors. with about 1/2 inch over the amber to avoid this.
