, and be careful with that prep stuff (for lack of a better term 
) that they send with the letters, as it is a pain to get off if it is visible around the letters.

If only someone had told me ... but it's hard for people to see at +90 mph.

I wasn't too careful when I cleaned my letters. I used rubbing alcohol (a no-no I'm told now) and then plastered the goop they send with the letters all over. The result... the letters are on so tight that I doubt I can ever get them off if I wanted to. Yes I did have some of the prep goop that showed, but a bit of adhesive remover got it off quickly. I did mess up one of the E bars, though, so that is a good hint. Bottom line, take your time and don't worry too much. They are made so well it is hard to mess them up.

Get some denatured alcohol (or rubbing alcohol will work) and really clean the area good. This will remove all wax in the letter area. Peel the protective strip off the letters and then stick them on. Should hold just fine.
