What is the best way to put them on???

Sir Nuke · 08-24-2009, 09:34 PM

I hope some answers, I am in the same boat. From the same company. I wrote them as soon as I got them (email). That was over a week ago, I ask for any instructions that they may have for proper intall, I got NOTHING back from them. I can only guess I will have to wing it.

You guys try pming autoguy, he is ridergraphics and is on here quite often. I got some bowties from him and a different company, I'm not doing the install myself i figured reputable place wouldn't have any trouble with such a small pice of vinyl. I got the rear blackout also and it came with generic instrucitons and a squegee for applying vinyl.

Mine were more like stickers than vinyl (from Rider), but the quality was good. I did them myself. Just start in a corner and work with it. I had mine "spill over" in a few places and just took a razor blade to make it clean. It's really not that bad. This coming from someone who has horrible luck with DIY projects.

So a dry install is the way to go????

I got mine today too and installed them (no instructions) but what direction do you need... stick em on.. it aint easy to do it without any seams or bubble. my back one went 99% perfect but the front one is harder came out about 90% perfect.. once it's on... IT'S ON! so dont mess up, remmeber the vinyl will stretch so be carefull.. the good news is minor seams won't show from 2-3 feet away so don't sweat it if you dont get it perfect. will post pics soon.. Got red bowtie on my black SS looks sweet cuz it ties in with the red lenses on the rear.

daughter wants a smily so here one is:

I just got a PM from Rider Graphics with the instructions, so here they are for all. They recommend/suggest a WET install. so you should get a 100% job, just take your time.

I totally blew my front install, but the back looks great. I ordered a sheet of vinyl off of Ebay to try again, so I figure I've got at least 4 more attempts with the one sheet. I tried the wet install. I'm going to try a dry one next time with a hair dryer. Good luck though!!
