Seeing how the only sticker I've ever applied was the "FRF" sticker on my back window, how difficult are these to apply? Maybe a beginners guide to sticker application? Or a basic how to video...?

These look Bad ASS!
I want something along the lines of the kinda like Red claw deal, but more like a claw/splash I guess.
You have any other ideas?

I was thinking the same thing. A raptor claw slash would be really cool. Three instead of four

Not hard at all to be honest. You can lay it dry which is easiest we found . First you center in between the scoops then make sure the top is flush. Once that's done you can lay masking tape on both sides in the center. Peel have of it back and use a hard squeegee to lay it down going in a back and forth motion. Once the top half is done do the same for the bottom taking the tape off and continuing from the center down making sure it is flat. If you get a small crease you can always peel back gently and do it again. The Bottom Portion is able to stretch if needed once you have it laid all the way down you can run a razor blade to cut any excess if there is any.

Question?
Obviously you need to clean the truck hood completely, but do you need to remove any wax the hood might have?
Or should you give the hood a good waxing before applying to protect from any possible moisture in between the wrap and paint?

Yes you want to remove the wax you do not want any on the hood when applying
