Default Installing Rear Camaro fill ins in the cold?

I live in CT, and it is even cold in the Garage. I got some RK sports Camaro Acrylic fill in's. Should I wait until summer to put them in. I'm just thinking they will not stick as well if it's cold out.

just get a hair dryer and heat up the surface a little so it sticks, dont heat it up too much though it should be fine

warm up the decals too, or whatever they are. i put vinyl overlays on my door emblems when it was around 55-60. they cracked easier then when warmer.

Use warm water too. I still would wait for higher temps, but come on they are just vinyls not like they cost a fortune if one of them starts to come off.

Plus you probably got a two pack with extra's encase you mess up right?

Clean the surface really well before applying them...IMO I would wait until it's warmer.

I know you are probably chomping at the bit, but I'd wait till it's warmer IMO.
