That's a great looking T/A, love the Gold over White! Bubbles in the application are normal and as you now know within a few days they completely disappear. Several people have expressed concern over shelf life as well as the clear transfer tape we use on this thread. I'd like to take a second to address those issues.
As long as the decals are stored in a cool, dry place they'll store for many years. It's very important that the decals are not exposed to water or humidity. If the backing paper get wet and reacts with the adhesive, its game over. It will not release. If the decals are going to be stored for a while, it would be a good idea to unfurl the decals a few days prior to application, thus letting the vinyl relax.
As far as the clear transfer tape goes, we've been using it for a few years now. It has a little different feel and appearance from the paper mask originally used by GM (most new decals come with a clear transfer tape). The clear has been met with some mixed reviews but overall most people are very happy with the product. Application fluid does not evaporate as quickly through the clear so a couple more hours of "curing" time may be required. If the tape leaves a residue, it can be easily wiped away with a clean towel and a little lighter fluid as earlier stated.
As always, we stand behind our products 100%. We feel our products are second to none and will continue to strive to be the best. If anyone ever has a concern or question we can be easily reached on our toll free 800.941.4550.
Awesome looking T/A, Bama - glad it all worked out for you in the end!
