Sorry, this is probably the biggest noob question ever put on SL. But I got the darn appliques in the mail, and there was instructions. It talked about gettin prep spray, a heat gun, and all this other nonsense. Is this really necessary, lol. I thought all I would have to do is wash the area real good first, then pull the backing off of the applique and just stick it on there. My friend thought the same. Can I get away with doing it my way without worrying about it flying off going down I-95. Thanks, and once again sorry for the noobish question, instructions make things harder sometimes....

 

The complete instructions are on trdsparks.com It's easy.

 

You don't need a heating gun unless you're trying to install these in the cold. All I did was let my car sit
outside then in the early afternoon I installed the appliques. Weather was about 101 degrees that day.

 

just clean the pillars with window cleaner or alcohol. dry them off. then spray the area with a mist of water. once the water is on put the appliques on. Once they are on the water will let u pretty much move them around. Once u have them set just leave them and let them dry. End of install. lol

any more questions?

 

So was it a noobish question. LOL

 

no question is a dumb question.

 

dont u just Stick on after peeling off the backing?????

 

not unless u can lay them right the first time. the water will let u move it around.

 

x2 lol

 

I think im gonna try the water mist/use alcohol to clean good with idea....

 

Do you guys put anything on them to protect them from the sun.............because mine are starting to look worn out!

 

Can you wax them?

 

Yes. That's what I do. Sill look new after 3 years.

 

u can do what i did before i came on this site. bring it to the dealer. plop down 30 bucks, watch them go grab a smoke, come back, wipe the b pillar with a paper towel, rip the paper off of the back and stick it on.. then wala! and mine is still on there =)

 

that sounds about right... well for me i didnt pay the $30....

 

Another trick is pledge. Wipe on, buff off. Makes them as smooth as glass.
