Default Mounting BSM's

Does anyone have any tips/tricks to putting these on my car?
I just got them in today, and I'm going to put them on this weekend, but getting everything lined up is probably going to be a PITA.
Thanks in advance.
Dave

This is how I put my stickers on before I race.
First Clean the surface with the 3M pad that should of been provided.
If none then use alcohol.
Then taping the BSM on first, making sure that both sides end and begin at the same place.
Be sure there straight.
Then use lip stick, yes I said lip stick. Mark there location. Take them off, peal off the back paper and stick the larger end down just at the very tip. Take the smaller end and look down the BSM and gently place the BSM in place, making sure its straight. Then press firmly on the BSM so that they stick. Then leave it alone, come back after an hour and wipe off the lipstick.
Best of luck to ya!
If anybody else has a better way, please post it!

Thanks for the info guys. Got some ideas on how I want to do this now, shouldn't be too bad.

[update]
Ok, this is a big favor, but I just went to 2 chevy dealers, and one had no C5's, the other had 1 w/out BSM's(just my luck). If someone would be willing to measure how far down yours are and give them to me, I'd owe ya. If not, I'll just go to another dealer tomorrow or Wed. :)
Thanks again.

Dave
