    I bought the decals for the hood of my 2012 from:
    MoProAuto - Professional Vinyl Graphics, Decals, Spoilers, and More! Ready to Install Automotive Accessories!
    But after reading the instructions that came with it they have me scared to attempt to install it myself. Has anyone put them on by themselves? I found a couple of places that will install it for me but the want more than what I paid for the decal!

    I did get an 1/8 inch pinstripe put on the length of the car. Really brings out the curvature.

    I would keep checking the vinyl shops. It is better to have someone put your vinyl on that knows how to do it properly and can guarantee their work. The bigger the vinyl the harder they are to work with.

    I had my vinyl stripes done professionally. Paid a lot, but so worth it! I would have messed it up entirely :)

    Chally's got a Tatoo!

    I finally paid a pro to put the vinyl on my `12 Chally =) It only took him less than an hour with all the water spray and squeegy in hand. I'm a happy camper, now.

    Notice the "Dodge" emblem ;)

    Any the sequential tail light kit came yesterday - gonna be busy this weekend!

    We had our hood decals installed by a professional here in town. Money well spent in my estimation.

    I would try side stripes but not the large hood stripe. Even one bubble or crease will ruin the job. Have a professional do it.

    Decal install

    [​IMG][​IMG]I had the hood decal and bumble bee strip included in my purchase agreement. Believe me, you don't want to attempt it on your own. The labor took over four hours and included using a heat gun often.

    Bought mine at Big Worm Graphix and paid $75 to have them installed at a shop. I didn't trust myself getting them on straight.
