hey, just ordered some of the vinyl bumper inserts and got em today. http://www.americanmuscle.com/mublrebuinle.html

instructions say to peel em off, dip them in water/soap solution and then put them on, i just wanted to verify this was the correct procedure, thanks!

yeah just clean your bumper really good. then just spray or dip the letters in soapy water to make them easier to move around. put them on and try to work out some of the big air bubbles. let them dry and work out the rest of the air bubbles.

ok so just take the letter off the paper, dip it in the water, and the apply it to the bumper? then get the bubbles out? seemed kinda wierd to dip it in water, thought that would kill the adhesive

after you clean your bumper well. soapy water is a must. unless you think you can lay it perfectly the first time. when it dries it will be sticky again
