Use a tape measure to make sure you get spacing the same. Also, when you go to apply them, make sure you clean the area good and wait for a warm day (above 60 degrees Fahrenheit). Don't push them on hard until you have stepped back and taken a look of the big picture. I had mine on where I thought they would look good, but when I stepped back, I noticed they were slanting up. I had a heckova time getting them back off to reapply. Once you are happy, press them firmly in place.
Voila! You're done. 
Take some pics for us!

I also have them and found that I needed to make sure the car was on level ground. I used a level to make sure they were straight but then when I took my car of the grass where I was under a tree....obviously the grass wasnt level so neither were my lines I love the look, altho I only put them on the front. I didn't put them on the back of the car. Good Luck and post pictures when done.

hollowbones...got your chrome strips on yet?? If you haven't, I will add that you'll need to leave extra space between the leading strip (one on the front quarter panel) and the one on the door.
If you put them too close to each other, when you open the door they WILL hit each other. Just wanted to add that....a friend did his and got one side all done before he went to open the door. Then he was forced to cut 1/8" off the front edge of EACH strip on the door.
Be sure to post some pics. I don't have mine on the PT anymore, I got flames done 2 yrs ago.

@im4cruisn: Good catch! I did the same thing when I put mine on! luckily I was able to peel them off (carefully) and reapply them. Almost a year later and they still look perfect!
