I wanted to know how to install my vinyl stickers after I recieved them, I didnt know whether they went on the outside or in the inside and more.. So I just decide to make one.
FAQ's
----------------------
Q:Where do these things go?
A: Technically anywhere you'd like but they're popularly placed on the rear quarter window of your rear doors.
Q:On the outside, wouldnt they mess up?
A:Yes they may get ripped or torn, but with a good installation they should stand up pretty well against the "forces of nature". Think of it for those (NY'ers) as one of those sticker they stick on your car if you dont move your car to the other side of the street for cleaning, or one of those when they tow your car, hard as hell to get off you have to use a razor and hot soap water or something like that.
Q:What about the car wash?
A: (Not Know from Experience) but some members have confirmed that they do hold up, but they have either used a brushless car wash, or have done it themselves..
Q:What possesed you to write this How-To?
A: Well I wanted a detailed answer and didnt get it, and I had to do a double shift so i was pretty bored.
Q:Can we use these method with any vinyl sticker..?
A:Theoretically Yes, since all stickers are the same but keep in mind they can go whereever you want they just as long as the surface can have something stuck to it.
