    T-Rex grill with black bezel. Blacked out all the badges and added the Tacoma on the tail gate. The windows have been tinted to the darkest law will allow.
    installed new TRD decal, a few air bubbles. Will the sun help or is it to bad to sad. :(

    can take a very small tip like of an xacto knife. and just give a very tiny press in center of the bubble and press the air out. the sun will help shrink it more and hide the tiny holes you pressed in. i had a few bubbles and did that with mine

    Ah, should of. The sun won't do much then. It will shrink the vinyl a little. Like the other user said, poke a small hole in the bubble and squeegee it out. Maybe use a heat gun or do it out in the hot sun. It won't be perfect but will be a little better

    Thanks I was thinking doing that but didn't know if I had to act fast or do it after the sun heats it up.

    I can't swear it will re stick but apply heat with hair dryer, remove decal, spray area with windex reapply and squeegee out air

    I had some minor bubbles in my decals at first. Wait a few days and see if they work themselves out, mine did. If they don't, then try the pinprick/squeegee thing.

    If I decide to redo I will use water next time its first time and like my wheels I'll do a better job next time. Thanks

    That's not bad, if you want it done quick take a hair dryer or heat gun. It'll come out

    FYI, It's actually "too bad, so sad".

    I'd give it a week or so in the sun. If that doesn't work a pin prick may be all you need.
