Default Vinyl Overlays

Ordered these yesterday and wondering if there were any tricks puttin em on and gettin em lined up correctly?

2 Black Trans Am Badge Overlays
1 Black Firebird Front Overlay
1 Black Pontiac Rear Overlay
1 Silver Trans Am Filler Piece Overlay
1 Silver Firebird Bird Filler Piece Overlay


May sound like a dumb question but it seems like it'd be hard getting the vinyls on and lined up correctly in one shot. Any help or tips appreciated!

Also, could I use a soap/water spray like you use to tint windows to move them around and line them up?

get a clean spray bottle (and fill it with water first) then add a few (5-10) drops of dish soap.

Spray the surface, Spray the back of the vinyl and apply. Slide into place.

use a credit card to squeegee the vinyl flat... and dont touch it!
