dude its sooooo easy. Well the way i would do it is this way. First clean off the area you want to vinyl. Peel off the vinyl and spray it with water mixed in with two or three drops of detergent. Na dhten also pray the area you want to put the vinyl on. Then Get a cloth and wrap it around a credit card that you dont use. PLace the vinyl on the arean and level it out. Start to squeege from the middle to the ends of the vinyl. by doing this you are removing the water from underneath the vinyl so it sticks to the surface. keep doing this untill you see that the water is not there.


He its real easy dont sweat it. I installed the whole Smoked out tailight kit my self with out any experience. Check this out.

Dood! Read this and you will find that you can totally do it yourself!!! I thought I wouldnt be able to do any of the stuff I have done! Just try it, youll be more proud that you did it yourself and will love it more! Here and here is where to get the vinyl.

How strong are the vinyls anyway? If I go through a high pressure wash (like that'll really happen) will I have to worry about the vinyls?

I'll admit that I'm a mod newb. My last car (current car till Saturday) has been stock for its entire life.

the vinyls will need a razor and some time to take off. no car wash or pressure washer will take them off..unless you are running 100,000psi.

They are very durable, and will not come off with any washing, even with a pressure washer. Once their on figure they are there to stay!

thanks for the feedback guys. but one problem is that the vinyls are too bigg.. will they shrink wen i install or what? let me kno.

i didnt want someone nearby me to do it for me, juss to supervise or help me out, kuz the more experience thats there, the better.

Yea they should be a little larger so they can be folded over the edges. If they are too big dont worry, just get them on there and trim with an X-acto knife.

the red outs are pretty easy, just clean the area with some rubbing alchol. its ok if they are alittle larger then the actual area. You really will not notice once they are on, mine overlap the turn signal by about an 1/8 of an inch. the same with the fogs.......
sounds silly but jack the front of your car up so its a little easier to get too them. again clean the area with alchol, and make sure your hands are clean...
you should be ok, they are not that difficult and if you mess up they are not expensive to replace, its aggrevating but it is worth it when your done.

also use a credit card , it will help get the air bubbles out..... best way to apply them is to allign the overlay, then apply it from one of the corners..... and push the air out as you go.

Is no one putting these on wet?
