If yur brave enought to apply 6 coats of clear and wet sand and buff the car, It should be a cake walk for you to put the decals on youself, its alot like window tint, the same methods apply

well its far from done but atleast it can go down the road. under the hood needs detailing as does the  under side. the interior as well but atleast it is shiney with nice snow flakes right?
