the salsa red pic on grafxwerks is mine. they were not that hard to put on. you just need water in a spray bottle and LOTS of patients. they are radial curves. I started at the rear point and worked forward. I've had mine on for close to 5 years now. http://home.comcast.net/~sandk...1.jpg

i'd like to order..but it's a 5 of 5 difficulty..i lost it trying to put the redouts for the taillights on and eventually just threw them out..exactly how hard is it to install scherry?

thanks tonyk27. waveaction,years of installing decals on trucks on an assembly line makes it easy. its called trial and error. lolthe trick is patience and soapy water. the rear part of the headlamp assembly is where to start and let the tip of the overlay stick but spray the rest of the underside of the overlay with soapy water it lets you move things around. you also have to remember on radial curves you can't pull and stretch. having a plastic squeegee to work air bubbles out is handy too, just remember to spray the top side of the overlay also when removing air bubbles. hope this helps.
