    You cut the bottom at an angle? They look really sexy. Great install.

    Yes. There's a thick, clear rock chip protective decal down there, and I didn't want the two interfering with each other. The angle loosely follows the flow of that clear decal.

    The red got a few bubbles, and there are quite a few creases trying to get around the curved furrow down at the bottom. I'm expecting that sitting in the sun will bake those bubbles out. The white, going on wet, came off without a hitch.

    Always wet soapy will result in best install. Leave it in the sun and later pop the small bubbles with a very new and sharp xacto knife. Good work. You are now Captain America truly and fully.

    Had it been anyone else, I don't think it would have gone to a suspension. He's a dog that gets hit with the newspaper immediately because he's pooped on the rug before. NFL using past history to predict future behavior again.

    It got messed up in the garage - some of my crap fell on it and it got dirty. I'm a sad panda.

    I am hoping to get a shipment of TW stickers from His Bobliness to hand out at the next C&C, though. I want to put the TTC sticker on the bottom and a TW sticker above it.

    Oh, and I finally broke down and Googled what TTC was. I now have an IG account. :bananadead: CaptainAmeritruck.

    Usually Oracal 651 is so flexible it will blend in with clear decals already on the car. All you need is a low-powered hair dryer and gentle fingers. In you case, the diagonal cut you made made the decal pop. Good work.
