They look great, but go ahead and get you a can of 3M spray adhesive. You'll need it in a few weeks. I've had to respray and restick every single letter of mine.....

HHHm, Prep is the key.
I cleaned it before I started with Denatured Alcohol and haven't had an issue at all in over 2 years.

Default graphics

I bought mine from a company "Cyberdinegraphics.com/home. But before I installed them, I cleaned the surface with denatured alcohol and I bought and used a 3M product #4298 adhesive promoter. This stuff comes in a felt tip pen sized applicator, But your way better off using the 3M promoter and wetting a cotton swab and very carefully just wiping the area where the adhesive of the letter is going to touch the cars body or dashboard Ect.

But this 3M product #4298 (Google it, you can find all sorts of vendors selling it) $12.95 But once you use it, and be very care-fill when you apply the letters. I advise you wear a set of latex gloves and use a tweezers to do the initial start of the install. The 3M #4298 is such a great adhesive that you'll see it is like welding the graphics in place. Great product for any graphics using an adhesive to keep it attached.

Don't cut corners and they'll last a long time. Mine have been on since 2006 and I've never had to touch them.

I ran the sticker ones for a while, but did have one on the back start to peel. Went to SS, and am happy. Still have stickers on the front, but after 30k miles they have been beat up pretty bad.
