In general, side stripes come with an application tape that makes fitting them a breeze, and ensures that you don't end up with stripes that are out of line.

Car modifications insurance
It is important to bear in mind how these stripes will affect your car insurance policy.
Some car insurance companies might not be happy if you install side stripes once you have already taken out a policy with them.
Specifically, in the case of large insurance companies, in which cheap car insurance can be found as long as you follow their requirements, modifying your car once an initial policy is agreed can even cancel your existing agreement. This is because it could be considered a violation of the contract's terms and conditions.
That is why installing specific modifications can sometimes lead to serious problems with your car insurance provider, especially if they invalidate your policy in case of an accident.
