The Painter's Tape Method: Your First Step to Ordering Strip Light Kits
Tired of guessing the right sizes for your Underglow kit? Let’s skip the headache and get straight to the easy way of ensuring a perfect fit for your ride—enter the Painter's Tape Method. Simple, reliable, and surprisingly satisfying. By the end of this, you'll have four strips of tape and zero doubts about the sizes you need for your kit.
Why bother? Because we all know "one-size-fits-all" rarely fits anything perfectly—especially your ride. So, grab your tape, follow these steps, and thank us later.
Tools and Materials Needed:
- Measuring tape
- Painter's tape (obviously)
Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Gather Materials
- Make sure you've got a measuring tape and painter’s tape at the ready. No tape? No problem—Amazon is your friend.
Step 2: Mark the Strip Locations
- Front Strips: Stick a piece of painter's tape around the front bumper, about 2 inches from the edge. Follow the bumper's curves to ensure you get that chef's kiss of light coverage touching your tires.
- Side Strips: Tape along the sides, again, 2 inches from the edge. We like consistency.
- Rear Strips: Run a long strip of tape around the rear bumper, adjusting for any custom parts you’ve added. If you've got a souped-up rear, just tweak it to match.
Step 3: Remove the Tape
- Now, gently peel off the tape. We're not redecorating, after all.
Step 4: Measure the Tape
- Whip out that measuring tape and note the lengths of each section you just removed. Time to get exact!
Step 5: Record Your Measurements
- For the front and rear, divide those lengths by two to get your final LED strip sizes. Write down your measurements and choose the perfect sizes when ordering. (Pro tip: Keep your measurements handy so you don’t have to do this again.)
And voilà, with the Painter's Tape Method, you’ve just guaranteed a smooth, no-fuss installation. Now your ready to go and order your Tailored Fit Underglow kit!
