Thanks Brad! Once you play around with knifeless tape, it's quite a simple application.

The frustrating part is making the wire rip off correctly. If you're interested, here's the how-to video that I learned from:

Time for a drop to tie it all together!

The color reminds me of a 2011 G37S I test drove.
They called it Lapis Blue.

This is the best DIY I have ever read.
Thanks and good job.
