Default Uneven striping

Okay so, I've decided to start applying vinyl striping to my '07 V6. Somehow though, I've gotten the roof striping uneven. It's nothing huge, only a couple inch mistake and it's pretty hard to notice if you aren't measuring for it or if you're staring very hard at the striping. So my question is, should I leave it as is or re-do the roof? It'd cost about $100 to get the replacement vinyl, and it'd take a little longer than I like to get here, but I don't know if this is a huge deal so I come for your guys opinions. I can take pics if needed.

Thank you

I was taught if you do something, do it right. Besides, you want your car looking it's best.

It's really up to you, however a couple inches is quite a bit for a stripe to be off.

Default Striping

I have a 2007 Mustang and I striped it myself. It is not perfect but you have to look close. You need to try and find the center of the car befor you get srarted. I have found that the trunk and front bumber was the hardest to do. I have bought strips 2 times to get it looking decent.2 inches is alot to be off. I would redo if possible. You can check out my pics in the gallery and see my strip job. Look
for jbugg in the members gallery.

some pic's of your vinyls would be helpful.

i understand re-doing a $100 job would suck, though...

Will do, I'm not completely done yet, but I'll show you what I've got so far.
