I paid $28 for mine. I have not installed them yet. Does anyone know the best way to install them and not get air bubbles in it?

Ive decalled alot of trucks at work and this is my theory:

1. Make your measurments with something cleanable

2. Run a piece of 2" tape along one whole side of the decal

3. Align the decal with your measurements

4. Recheck the measurement for accuracy

5. Spray the surface with water and a little bit of dishsoap mix

6. Peel the back of the decal

7. Spray the back of the decal with the solution

8. Try to roll the decal on evenly

9. Squeege the water out starting from the center.

10. Let the decal set before peeling the outside sheet off

Its worked for me with no problems, Im taking that these decals are made the same way. If you don't let the decal set it will come off when peeling the final sheet off.

How long should you let it set?

I was wondering if you'd gotten the stripe yet. It's gonna look AWESOME with your painted hood !!

I did my race car every year, just keep it wet with a little soap and you can move them anywhere you want and went you like it, squeegee the water out from under them and let dry.
