Front Grill Grille Decals

I just ordered the Orange outline with carbon fiber for both the front and rear for my Lightning Blue Raptor. Are you guys applying them wet with soap and water, or dry? If dry, what about air bubbles?

Soapy water or windex with a credit card is the only way I do vinyl installs. With a little patience it comes out perfect every time!

Oh and make sure you wet the front side of the vinyl too so when you are gliding over with a credit card it doesn't scratch it... [emoji1303]

I applied mine wet (soapy water). It is a much more "forgiving" process- you can move them around for perfect alignment.
My main concern is durability. When they are on the front, and you use a bug scrubber to wash your baby, will they withstand the abuse? I know, a little TLC goes a long way.

Are there directions for doing this somewhere, like in a video? I have some orange for the rear of mine and I just know I'm going to screw them up.

This will work! I'd make one for you but I don't have a truck to put vinyl on yet [emoji23]

Thanks for the video. Now I'm certain I'm destined to screw these up. Oh boy.

[emoji23][emoji23]. It's not that hard seriously... clean it up. Wet it. Slap the vinyl on from one side to the other while sliding with a credit card to get the bubbles out... then you can slide it around till it's lined up perfectly. Slide out the extra bubbles let it sit and dry out. Clean it up after it dries! Just take your time... if the liquid dries up as your applying the vinyl lift the side up that's not applied yet squirt some more under it! You got it!

How easily are these removed if I decide I don't like them? Can they be removed after several months with no trace of them ever being there?

I'm sure they would leave some residue behind but just apply some goo gone to a microfiber and it'll wipe right off! And it's safe on plastic. Don't use acetone or nail polish remover!
