So I am second guessing my position on removing tail stripe and putting another one on. Appears they are difficult to get right. Enlarge attached pix and you can see the disparity between sides. I fear I am just being anal, but it is bugging the crap out of me. Just not sure I can do any better?

How’s the bucket? Any residual effects? I had annual physical yesterday. Still low BP and heart rate. No meds all is good. Plus I have lost 12 pounds since last year. Not in Dd class but good for me.
You doing good!! I'm doing ok the short term memory issues have cleared up. Still going to the gym 4-5 times a week.

Yep I am still gym rat as well, I have modified routine now to much higher reps and lower weight. It took me awhile to adjust to it. But my connective parts just could not take wear and tear anymore. I try and not do less than 8 reps regardless of exercise. But man I want to add weight! It is hard for me to stay focused after years of targeting 3-5 rep range.

Just leave Hemi there and no one will notice it...:lol:
I really don't notice and neither will anyone else.
Even from the factory they weren't exactly perfect. JMO

It would bug me too. Would rather have nothing.
Too noticeable.
But, if you can buy a replacement, tape it on before installing,a few pencil marks before installing will help. There is a fluid/soapy water that permits you to move it and squeeze water out once you get it on position. Bet you can get some good advice from pheonix.

I hear ya, doing the same thing. No more than 45 minutes and then tennis cardio. Hitting the yellow ball is a lot more enjoyable than I thought it would be.
 
OK looked again after TJ's post, I see it and agree with his comments.

I know I'm blind, but what am I supposed to be seeing as it looks ok at this glance?
 
Back in time, stripes would be cleared over. Or be painted. At least this can be corrected.

"These shortcomings and a move toward greater environmental friendliness led to the eventual changeover by most car and truck manufacturers to new base-clear, water-borne systems in the late 1970’s to early 1990s however this period was not without serious issues as many of us will recall the peeling clear coats of many vehicles from that era resulting in scores of cars and truck being repainted through factory warranty claims.
