Different sizes on the bumper and passenger dash. I think both look good.

Most the ones out there all fit pretty good, the ones that go on the dash on passengers side usually do not stay on that well from what I have dealt with and also from what I have seen from others that have gotten them too.

The ones that go on the outside in the front and rear are all good, and have not had or heard of any issues with those kinds.

Good luck.

I was told by the vendor to heat them up a bit with a hair dryer as you press them on. They stay put now!

Gotta clean dash wear letters go with rubbing alcohol to make sure you dont have any armor all or other cleaner residue. Also make sure its above 60 degrees.

Default Clean application surface

Very important is the cleaniness of the application surface that you apply the SST lettering to. I use 3M or PPG Wax & Degreaser or Adhiesive Remover and surface cleaner.

Ambient temperature and surfaces tempertures are also part of the key to successful application.
