Painters tape.

I saw this on other forums and I thought it was cool. I used painters tape and it took about 30 minutes.

Don't get it. You look like you're at a track day. Except for the fact that you're in a neighborhood and not at a track.

I was not heading to a track but the nearest Mitsubishi dealer is about an hour away from where I live and the roads to get there suck. I figured I would give it a whirl.
