question about gill stripe decals

I bought these about a month ago and am still hesitant to put them on my car:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-Camaro...37449832437331

all the reviews are good and the pictures look sharp but will a $12 sticker look cheap in real life? Does anyone have any experience with these?

I didn't get these, I bought the SLP fade gill stripes and I'm very happy with them. Of course they did cost more than $12. Anycdecal that says it may be difficult to install makes me think twice.

i wouldnt install myself anyway, I'd take it to a professional... I don't have nearly enough faith in myself to pull it off without f***ing it up somehow

The SLP faded gills look the best. IMO

I have the SLP ones also. Worth the extra coin IMO.

Install is super easy. Just do a wet install. It allows you to move the decals around to position them perfectly.

yea, im sure the SLP ones are top notch, although i was looking more for a summit white accent to my rally stripes rather than the "vent" look on the gills

They aren't hard to put on. most go on one at a time. Just line it up on top first.
