I had to cut it... just semi-freehand with a straight edge and exacto knife.

thanks a lot pcola, i was looking for someone with the same color car as me. i do like the smoked vinyls, but the are a little darker than what i want, still looks good though. the red-outs seem to be more popular, and i'm sure way easier to install. either way, still debating, but when i get the vinyls, i'll be taking pics and posting them up. and the black sapphire is so hard to keep clean! i detailed the car this past saturday/sunday (11 hours...) and then during the week, pollen stuck to it like a magnet!

thanks everyone that gave their .02 and did the poll!

for what it's worth - from Aerotect. Black + darkest vinyl, Gray + lighter vinyl. Black one is mine, gray one is the wife's.
