    any local sign/vinyl shop.. they might even install it pretty cheap if you dont feel like tackling it yourself.

    if you do it yourself, you may need a heat gun.

    the heat gun is for stretching and conforming the vinyl


    if you find someone/place that says they can sell you a "pre cut" kit for that area, i would love to talk to them. (technically mine is "pre-cut"....in the shape of a rectangle :) )

    you cannot pre cut a shape for something that is compound contoured.
    the vinyl has to be stretched into place.

    exaggerated example: put a piece of paper on a basketball....doesn't work

    i called a couple places they said they would sell me a sheet but i didnt say what i was doing with it. what would be the difference between your sheet and thiers just curious. dont get me wrong im not trying to detour people from buying from you just trying to save some cash i still plan on buying some bedside decals as soon as i make up my mind on which ones i want
    so i hope you dont blackball me

    Or for an even cheaper route get a can of plasti dip and spray it. I did that on mine.

    If it doesn't work for you... you can always just peel it off. Home depot in west Sac or Natomas has it for sure.
