    hahah WOW!

    use a spray bottle and add a drop of soap

    spray the vinyl sticky side and spray the bumper

    place the sheet of vinyl over then if it has bubbles then squegee them out

    to get rid of the wrinkles get a heat gun or hair dryer and get it put it over till it gets hot and squegee at the same time

    AH! :wink:

    Hehe. Did you use a hair dryer and water+soap based spray? Also, a credit card would've helped too; with the bubbles. :D

    Backup lights look beautiful tho.

    EDIT: a little slow on the draw.

    my advice for applying the vinyl to the bumper... it's what I did

    1) made a template with a bunch of construction paper (take your time making the template design)

    2) traced and cut the template from the vinyl

    3) placed the vinyl template over it, using painters tape, divide it into three parts.

    4) peeling it off, out of each of it's three diff. sections.

    To better understand it, here is a helpful video that you can use.

    My advice for applying the vinyl...Take the vinyl out of the box... and then gently heat it up to about 90 degress. And then throw it in the GARBAGE! The black in the middle bumper looks so stupid. Either buy an evo. Or keep it Real.

    an old credit card worked perfectly for me, still has some small bubbles but it's tolerable, my first attempt was like that...
