Anyone have any tips to get the damn thing back on, I can't get those 2 holes in the back to line up. I pulled it back off and scratched it up a little bit, so kinda frusterated right now.

I did the same thing (its in my profile, Red with black letters and ribs) and used regular krylon red and 1 can of clear. Ive had it on there for almost a year and no bubbles or distortion. This is my experience with it, I hold no responsibility for others trying this method! Just had to state that! I think it looks great, but def throw some clear coat on and it will make a world of difference.

I stopped and had my local body shop guy give me a quote. I am looking at painting mine Hemi Orange and keeping the lettering Black. It would be finished in a highgloss finish. He want's $250 to do the work. A little high but he does great work. I think I am going to take it off this weekend and bring it to him. If I do I will post pictures.
