I got some black vinyl decals for my grille today, and upon getting frustrated following the directions I decided to go a different route which turned out much better for me. Any little water bubbles that remained went away once the grille got nice and hot on my next drive.
here's the vid

So did you get a second set for free ? Someone who ordered the same time I did was shipped mine.

Thats how I put my tailgate emblem sticker on , worked great and is still stuck on.

Great video.

Another option is rubbing alchohal and wattter for work like this. About a 50 - 50 mix . Not near as much time to work with it as the water soap mix you were using though.

Thanks for the help now. I put mine on and have a couple creases in the letter pretty much pissed me off but like you said I didnt want to rip them. So they look good from farther away but up close not so much.

alcohol is a great advesive/tar/sap remover...not sure i would endorse using it 50/50, but that's my humble opinion.
