There are some fairly bizarre traits that you have to get used to.
1) The rear panel shrinks and grows on the vertical plane depending on
what part we're talking about. The vertical surface of the bumper
shrinks, and the vertical surface of the taillight panel grows.
2) The hood area grows along the vertical place by about 20%.
3) Use the guide layer (supplied in all of Brian Simpon's templates) to
align lines and decals. It makes things much easier.
4) Learn about layers.
