Just got mine from Ryan Saturday--need to have the bf come help install it. I got the inside mount rather than the outside mount, so I'm curious how that will go.

Is it still bubbled like that? Was it a inside or outside one?

It should be applied in 70+ degree weather. If it is colder than that then use a hair drayer to heat up the glass and the decal before applying.

Well don't I feel dumb. I had my friend from work come over to help me put it on my car and then I found out that all you have to do with the one I got is just stick it on the actual break light its self. I told him I was just being a typical girl. I could have done it all by myself but no I had to make it way harder than it was. I guess I just thought that it went on the inside of the glass on the window. Now I really don't like this one and don't suggest it at all. I don't know if they changed the size of those lights on the new Vibes but I started on the right side and then when I got to the left there was about a 1-2 inch gap where the sticker was not big enough Also the letters a a little large and when you close the window then that silly cover thing goes around it and you really can't see all of the letters.

I will get a pic on here as soon as I can find someone to step on my break for me while I take a pic! Did anyone else have this problem? Or have this sticker that goes on the light its self?

Typically they go either on the inside of the glass or on the outside of the glass. I had an outside mount that I did the same as you in mounting it onto the light itself. I had gaps and then used black electrical tape to cover them. It was off center so I replaced it. I now have an inside glass mount and would highly recommend it.

No it really goes on the light...the paper that came with it said so...I went over it a billion times. I was thinking it was going to look all rippled because of the light not being flat. It worked I just don't like it. I thought that it was the one that goes on the glass but the wrong stide was sticky.
