Whatever you do, don't ask bodyshops.... went to two around my area and they wanted around $150 for installing my blackbird stripes.

Use water and its pretty easy, you get em close then you can move them how you want them, they wont stick until you use a squeegee(sp?) to get the water out.

bro im the same way.. to be honest take it to any place that paints cars man... idk about how much they will charge but better to have someone else to blame than blame it on your self if you were to make a mistake putting them on... also never pay till after the job is done and your satisfied
