Anyone hit me up with DIY on FITFREAK Sticker application?

Hi Guys,

Just got my new fitfreak.net window sticker from Illusive -- Never applied one of these before and they are kind of hard to come by now. It looks like to me that the letters are individual and that there is a backing that they are stuck to as well as the front piece that is lightly sticky. Can someone tell me the best way to apply this without destroying the thing?

Thanks

Tbird--

Finally picking up my Base SSM tomorrow!

They're really easy to install, you peel the backing off and line it up where you want it. then stick it and peel the front off...

be sure to take a credit card and smooth out any air bubbles that might get trapped under the decal. smooth out BEFORE removing the final piece of masking tape.

For best application:

Clean area to be applied with some soap and water
Use some rubbing alcohol to clean off any oils or contaminants left behind
Line up where you want the decal and see how it looks. If you do not have a reference line to work with, then I would use some masking tape to make one so it goes on straight
Peel back one corner of the decal and fold backing over
Apply corner of decal to the car (only the tape part, not the decal itself)
Stand back and make sure it is straight
Grasp backing on the folded portion and slowly peel back
Using your other hand, smooth decal along as backing is pulled back
Use Credit Card or other flexible card and run over the area a few times to remove any areas that haven't been adhered
Peel off tape, and you are done!

Perfect,

Just got word from the dealer -- they are prepping the car for pickup tomorrow. That means the sticker goes on tomorrow as well.
