looks good. That isnt the OEM stuff is it? Cheap ebay black stuff? What did you use to cut them to shape with? im thinking a scalpal but i dont want to damage the paint. Also is there a way to remove the sticky stuff with acetone or will that strip the paint? D:

The vinyl is shiny black stuff - an offcut from a vinyl wrapper who is starting up. It's really mailable and easy to apply, hardest part is avoiding air bubbles.
To remove the sticky residue i used a combination of auto glym 'tar and insect remover' and lots of elbow grease. The AG stuff is really good.
As for cutting it to shape I started with a piece which was oversized and folded the edges around like the OEM stuff. I used a sharp blade - it won't go right through your paintwork!
