Default bumper inserts

im going to order some black reflective bumper inserts. i was just wondering how hard it is to put them on? how easily do they tend to wrinkle up on you?

They are pretty easy to put on. Just take your time with them. Get a spray bottle with a soapy mixture. Spray is on the car so it gives you time to move the decal to where you want it.

They are extremely easy to put on, no talent required. I didn't have any probs with wrinkling or anything. They have stayed on really well too, no issues there. It's handy to use a hair dryer or a heat gun (carefully), to make sure they are set in place when you're done.

just like juztang said, get you a squirt bottle of some kind and add a few drops of liquid dish soap in it with water and spray
the bumper and the letters and put them in place. I also had a wet rag to help smooth them out and to get the air
bubbles out, probably took me between 30 min to an hour to do mine. very simple and easy !! I picked mine up on ebay for around $7 or so last march. I havent had problems with them peeling or anything.

It really isn't sticky, most of the letter inserts are vinyl.
I also bought mine off of e-bay. They were like $5 and free shipping I figured it they sucked, I didn't really lose out on much. The letter 's' was the most difficult for me, because the letters are really thin.
