HI guys I'm new ti this forum great job to all. question is how do I install/stick hood decal on my 2001 ws6. bought it w/ no ram air decal on hood. yup it was wreckrd . I know the history of this car so I bought it anyway. subframe is straight. body shop did a bad job. (alignment gaps here/there) doing that my self. thats why there is no ram air decal on hood.

on my SS hood I took a couple of measurements and cut the extra backing on the decal and then taped it where I wanted it. Then I just removed the backing and that was it.

so is it like a stick on decal? I thought it would be something like needing water or soapywater to stick. remember the 1/18 plastic models we all used to build. then at the end came time to install decal w/water. "yup I still build them". just more detailed. well thats another post. just curiuos on how exactlly do they go on. ddelallata u make it sound too easy.

thanks for the reply.

The decals have adhesive on the back of them that does not require wetting before sticking...believe me they WILL STICK!. The soapy water helps you position it in place and get the air bubbles out without it sticking.
