You're gonna **** it up or it won't go on straight. But in order to get lots of tries at it make sure you have a spray bottle of soap water with you.

I've seen that some kits come with two cause they are so hard to install. One guy that even makes them says he can't install them.

My co-worker does most of the Graphics for the cars on Fast and Furious. He is a pro. He can help out. But It is pretty easy. Dont use Soap! It least residue!

Use Water with alcohol as when it dries it does not leave any residue.

This is one of the cars he recently did.
