Did anybody encounter problems applying your number backgrounds to the rear fenders? I had such a hard time with it goin over the ridge. I might be retarded, but they now look like crap, but you can still tell I'm #111, so I guess that is all that matters.

I had a real problem with mine at first. Did you use a hair dryer to heat them up? If not try it, it works great. Just don't over heat them and melt them.

I thought it was impossible too. The key is heat, they have to do alot of stretching. I did mine on a sunny 75 degree day with a hair dryer and got them on without a single wrinkle.

How did you manage to wrinkle a number 1??? Just take your time and try and stretch it a little bit, it will go.

Take a hair dryer or heat gun (low heat) to heat them up a little bit. Lay them down one edge at a time and use a squeegy of some sorts to help push the backgrounds down and keep wrinkles/air bubbles out. The heat is the key to kinda stretch them out, I laid mine down with no problem :D

If you encounter a few bubbles, take a razor blade and put a SMALL slit in them. Then push them down with the squeegy, should work fine.
