Default How do you move a new decal over a bit?

I just applied this decal a few minutes ago, and noticed it was about an inch too far to the left. Any idea how to move it over? I included a few pics. Does it look bad to you? I'm OCD, so it looks terrible to me. But as an outside person, does it look very bad?

That would drive me ****** nuts.

Peel it off and reapply is possible. Or get a new one and start over.

dont think you can re-apply it but what does look pretty bad is your bubbling tint over the dot matrix. Have a tint shop put black vinyl there for 20 bucks. Youll thank me!

Agree, tint is worse than sticker. IMHO.

You cant..even if you removed it in one piece the sticker would be stretched and would not stick if you re applied.. Get another one and try again
