if you don't know what you are doing I recommend that you take it to a body shop. Its pretty straight forward though.... figure out exactly where you want the decals and remove any wax from the car with liquid DAWN or alcohol then wet the car down with soapy water and position them where you want them, then just squeegee out the water and air bubbles.

yeah, if they are on a pretty flat surface, no compound curves or anything you can do it yourself if you are patient. but if you dont have the know how, i say take it to a vinyl shop, they can put them on as well. but if you want to do it, just remember to keep them we at all times, and have a hair dryer handy if you have any curves, heating the vinyl slightly will help negotiate those curves better. also, dont worry if there are tiny bubbles left under the vinyl, you cant get them out, but when you leave it out in the sun for a few days they will go away as the solution you sprayed on it evaporates through the vinyl, it will lay flat. good luck, what kind of stripes did you get?
