HAH! I actually saw an Integra with those teddy bear hub caps in Japan.

Also, NEVER put a sticker on your car unless someone paid you to put it there

It's a filter on the forum. If you write in all capitals, it will do that to all the words.
87_Rocket - Vinyl is not too hard to apply, but you have to have the right tools. The main thing is to make sure that you have "application fluid" to apply it. This stuff is great for it. you spray down the area you're goign to apply to, and then put the graphic down slowly. The application fluid will allow you to easily pullt he vinyl off to rotate and align and all of that. Here's a link to where we used to get ours, when I was in the buisness. http://www.signwarehouse.com/catalog...05_2_1823r.pdf
You also want to get some of those teflon squeegies. It will make your life easier.

Other than that, make sure the area is completely clean before you start, spray down with application fluid, and start slowly, from one direction, and keep spraying app fluid down, slowly peeling away the vinyl backing and laying it down a bit at a time. It helps to set it up against the car, and tape the edges of the mask in place before you start peeling the backing off.

Graphics aren't bad when done right, they can look great and be much more economical than painting the car. Just do be careful about going overboard.

don't do it, stay away from the stickers they add way too much horsepower! You will have to buy all of the supporting mods due to the increase in power. first, buy a gigantic wing-or better yet make your own (plywood + a 2x4 = very aerodynamic) . second, you need hub extensions and gold daytons, and to achieve the proper ride height, heat springs with torch until you reach desired height. Then, and only then, will you be ready to add the sticker/decals.
Just kidding, I couldn't resist!
