I'll give it a shot, when I did the grill I had to use relief cuts to get it to bend around the grill without leaving a wrinkle.

Raptor exhaust is on! it's quieter, but not too quiet. It's almost perfect but still has a slight drone at 2K RPM but it's a huge improvement over the drone I was getting with the magnaflow.

Really? That's weird every pinstripe I have worked with flexed very easily to where you could make a pretty sharp turn. That exhaust looks great!

It's pretty inexpensive pinstriping tape lol that may have something to do with it.

Personally, I like the third picture down. Good looking truck, by the way. It looks pretty darn nice, especially with the way you painted the exhaust. (And I will second those else who've commented about the stripes. Even using the cheap ones, it still shouldn't be that difficult to get them to bend. Even the cheap ones I apply at work bend quite easy. Lol!) Again though, very nice truck.

Lol! No problem!

Honestly, I get mixed reviews about doing my tailgate applique' the way I did.




But I love it! Just do what you think would look best... although I have my favorite.

i also vote for the third picture you posted, but i prefer following the contours of the truck by starting high and going down below the window then straight vs straight across!!

Nice build! It's funny you've done almost all of the mods I've had or want to do! I have the same wheels except I left mine chrome, I also lowered mine in the rear and want to do the red badges. My wheels are off of a Lincoln Mark, not sure if the Navigator had the same ones.

My preference would be the first stripe configuration.
