Getting ready to install a stripe as well.
I will be listening intently.
Also, Where do you put the seam between the side (vertical) stripe and the trunk (horizontal) sections of the decal? If I put it on the top edge of the fender I don't think it will stay??

The decal goes under the side reflector. The reflector housing should be removed and painted to match the stripe (OEM did it that way). Then re-installed after the stripe is put on. The top seam goes at the gap between the trunk lid and the fender. There should be enough material so that the top edge of the side stripe wraps down into the gap.

Your decals didn't come with instructions?

This looks very correct, except they forgot to paint the reflector. As you can see it is exactly in the center of the stripe horizontally: http://www.phoenixgraphix.com/p-d/ct602.php

Tx...good picture.The top half on that example hits the body character line.
...wonder if should split the gap, or does it matter?
i think the body coloured bezel does look good.

That picture could almost be my car. I am pretty sure mine was done 100% correctly too:

The deck lid stripe is directional and should follow the body line at the rear of the deck lid, side to side. Is sort of slopes to a "V" shape at the rear of the deck lid. The same line is on the stripe. I've seen some where the "V" on the stripe is pointing towards the rear window, not cool.
