i got quite alot of graphics on my car including 2 tribal mustangs that cover my doors and the trim like on the new mustangs below it

just go to ebay and search mustang bumper inserts and its like 10 bucks...all you gotta do is wipe off the dirt and make sure its dry and place the letters in...if theres any air bubbles just take a needle and put a tiny hole in the bubble and smoothe it out

all my decals have been on for months and are still perfect

thanks for the reply guys.
i did wash the car. clean it with the solution provided by the instruction.
do i apply them when the surface is dry? the instruction told me to spray the the surface so it wet and place the letter in place. when it wet it doesn't stay on.
may be i'm doing it wrong.

Clean it with rubbing alcohol, thats gets all the dirt off and yes wait until it dries. Then start putting the letters on slowly and press them in.

some instructions say do it while its wet but i think its much easier if you do it while its dry

look at my car on my mspace at www.myspace.com/tarponpimp

i did all of them my self and its been months with absoultly no problems

just get the letters again from ebay like i did and try it again
