Mine have been in the car for about 1.5 years, but I think the three rolls of Harbor Freight tape were about 10 bucks and enough to screw up 30 times over, and this is a rare case where you can screw up over and over with nothing lost but your time. Assuming that you get the seams good and minimal bubbles/wrinkles, the sanding (with 320 or 400 wetordri, damp/wet) and buffing with the white compound you can get at HF or home depot/lowes is where the real results are. They are on the gold colored car in my gallery.
