Vinyl Dimensions for Bowtie

All,

I couldn't find anything online to help me cut out the vinyl for the front/rear bowtie so i measured it myself and came up with the following for anyone trying to do the same.

It fits very well! I printed it out to size, and traced it onto vinyl then used a heat gun to apply it. You do need to stretch it a little.

Enjoy

*Dimensions are in inches

With vinyl, you're always better to go with extra, install it and then cut it to fit. That way you are sure that you won't have any section missing vinyl. Also, if you stretch it, chances are with the sun/heat it will shrink back and you won't get a perfect coverage.

So I'd use your dimension to cut a little piece with 1" extra on each side.

Since I've put it on my car, so far it's been pretty solid, no peel back, no lifting. I tried your method originally, but for the life of me it looked like crap every time haha.
