Get a little spray bottle with water and a drop of soap take your time line it up. Spray the back of the vinyl and the Car side. Let it sit over night

Yeah man. Like he said above. The spray bottle with soap and water is your best bet. That way you can line it up. You gotta make sure you smooth it out and get rid of the bubbles though. I usually keep a dry cloth to get the excess soap water as I push the bubbles out. Your right, it sucks but it looks great when your done. And, its something you did yourself! Good luck

I installed mine without the water/soap mix. One feather at a time on the front bird, with the plate off the car. and a simple q-tip works great when intallin the letters on the back.

+1 to the qtips on the lettering.

I did mine about a week ago and really only had a problem with the "O" in Pontiac. The bird was a breeze, just take your time and don't apply a lot of pressure until you're sure you have it where you want it.
