you could try it yourself. I'm assuming any detailing or window tinting place would also deal with decals

Yeah, I will admit, it is not the cheapest way to do it, but then again, I don't want my car to look cheap..............

It wont look cheap with decals, Ive got the blackbird hood stripe decal and it dont look cheap! If you get the car really wet you can move the decals around and play with it a little before they dry, then you squeege the water from underneath... pretty simple

decals do not flow with the clear coat of the car, esspecially if they are black,,,,look at black decals compared to real black paint, there is a big difference....some color decals look ok, as long as they are not dark...IMO
