The ribbon is abit hard to use, ill admit, but the color was the closest to Takata's. Detail Master does supply paper for the Belts, but in this case I opted for the Ribbon. The Takata Decal is courtesy of my Friend Gunther again, from his WRC Subaru. Just cut it out instead of using as water-slide and glue to belts.
now the tricky part, taming the ribbons so they will stay put. Ribbon material love to fly everywhere. simply use thin double sided tape. if your an RC guy like me, you should have plenty. Ive seen people use Super glue with Ill effects (hazing), something i was about to do, Thanks to my friend Gunther, who works at a LHS for the tip. I even used some to place the Takatas on and give them some depth. just painted the sides and tops green.
Hope this can be of some help to AF.
