    Yes. You will want to take your time - they don't do well with stick and remove..stick and remove...get it where you want it - and press it on and smooth out any and all air bubbles with your finger nail.

    Another way you can try is the Water mixed with a TINY bit of liquid soap, and then spread the inlay area with the mixture and then unpeal each piece one by one and just use lots of pressure to push all the water out from behind the decal. Give it a good 24 hours and whatever mositure that is trapped underneath will not cause any problems and will help the sticker to actually adhere to the inlay.

    Plus it gives you a bit more flexibility when making sure you got them lined up right inside the inlay section of the bumper

    Be sure to clean the surface where you are putting the decals.. I used some alcohol pads on mine... Stickers dont like dirt too much.

    Do them wet. Thats how i do all my vinyl applications, you will almost never get it where you wanted it the first time if you try it dry. Then your decal is ruined. The only drawback is it takes time to dry, big woop. Otherwise, its stuck on there just as hard when it drys vs. a dry application.
