Default decklid vinyl

well I just couldn't wait any longer. I have seen too many pics of stangs with it on em'. I just had to order it today in flat black off eBay for $35 shipped... can't wait for it to come in!I think it's gonna really make my car stand out. Next is either some gt side scoops or the 18" chrome svt cobras... and some 15 or 20% window tint.?

When you put it on can you take some close-up pics? I know some people say it doesn't look that great close up no matter how good you try and put it on... I'm not sure whether I should spray paint the decklid or not... Sounds scary, haha

Well, I'm sure the decklid vinyl would be alright, but I just don't know how good it would look if I just tried to spray paint that part, my dad is always telling me about how hard it is to paint stuff and that if I tried to do it myself it would look like crap and I would ruin my car... So I'll see how the vinyl looks before I go ruining my car, haha.

I'll put some pics of mine later today. Mine don't have any bubbles at all. Just take your time with it.

You're going to need to remove your 232 emblem. Make SURE you use a micro-fiber cloth when smoothing out the bubbles. If you use paper-towels, it will leave swirl-marks (found that out the hard way...).The flat black will make the bubbles less noticeable. It took me about an hour, but I took my time. Either go from the middle piece and work your way out, or start with both corners and work your way in. Don't go from left to right or right to left..it will be harder to get everything aligned. A heat gun/blow dryer will help to curve the pieces...
