Stripes

I am in the middle of getting 6 inch wide strip for my 'Pearl'. I am putting it on a diagonal across the bonnet. From the left of the logo to down the drivers door. There is a picture of it in my garage, photoshoped. Today I made a stripe out of painters tape and put it on. My question is, what do I do at the seams? Bonnet and fender, fender and door. Do I over lap into the 'channel' or cut right before. I never did this. It doesn't LOOK hard. I have read may instructions on this but they were always put on straight. There is a picture in my gallery.

Thanks

I think either way works. Personally I wanted to minimize the choppy look of side stripes across the door gaps so when I put them on I applied the whole stripe across all the gaps, then cut the vinyl in the middle of each gap. That left enough to wrap around each edge of the gap. It made a nice finished edge and also kept the stripe straight without trying to align each piece separately.
