Got my WRC Decals in today
Okay here is the question, where does everyone recomend I get these decals put on at? I want them to be professionally done. They are the WRC Subaru Swoosh logos for both sides of my car.

all you need is a good garage and someone to "spot".
are they actually adhesive? or are they the vinyl ones that you use
water to apply?

Oh and greg, these stickers are vinyl. I really don't want to risk messing them up by doing them myself. They came with instructions, but they didn't give me a squigie that it was supposed to come with. If some one knows what they are doing and would be willing to help me. Keep in mind greg that these logos are quite large.

I got them from EBay. Right after I bought mine I saw a whole set for sale. I was going to get it, but the guy wouldn't respond to my questions. Just look on ebay. I'll post a link a little later.

BUT, if you want them profesionally done, my friend owns advance graphics, and he's stickered A LOT of cars...his name is eric, and his number is 589-1774...tell him jayson sent you...
ummm...i just called him, and he said ~125-150 for labor... :/

OK here it goes....basically the same deal as applying tint (so maybe the tint guys or the guys that install that invisible bra stuff...Revolution Motorsports can do it):
You first spray the piece (side sticking to car) with a mixture of water and soap (detergent for windows dunno bout the body).
Then spray some on the car surface.
Place the piece and adjust to get it to sit the way you want it.
NOW (the tough part) use the squigee to force out any excess water and air bubbles. Start middle first and work SLOWLY out...take your time.
You may have to use a heat gun to shrink portions of the vinyl that you're having trouble getting the bubbles out. Basically shoot the hot air at the part and use the squiggee to smooth it out.
You may also have to use an exacto knife, scalpel or razor to poke a VERY small hold in such areas.
I like the heat gun first...helps me when I do tint. Remember, I am a realtive noob to it but that's what I know
