I used 1/2" and 1/4" vinyl tape. Front lip, side, and mirrors are 1/2" and rear diffuser and hood is 1/4".How and what tape did you used to get the red stripe around your lip and side.

Pick your starting point, then leave a little extra to cut off and trim and roll it out slowly and follow the lines of the vehicle. For straight sections like the sides, you press it down at the starting point then roll it out as far as you can on the same straight line while keeping it taut and then press it down on the other end and you'll have a nice straight line because you're essentially just connecting two points. If you're happy with the line then run over the whole line with your finger to set it in place. If you're not, then pull the roll back and try again. Then from that second point you start working the curve slowly and pressing down often.
Once you get to the end, roll it a little longer than needed and wrap around the edge and trim the rest, similar to what you need to do at the start of the line. Turning corners you'll need to take your time to press the tape down a little at a time to give it a smooth curve. A tiny bit of heat from a blow dryer may help. Took a couple times to get lines I was happy with but those rolls are plenty to give it a few tries. It's mainly just the rear diffuser that's difficult.
