Diy i-vtec sohc decal

So like here is my DIY Decal .. I wish i had this when i started adding stickers to my car.. So lets get started!! Btw, sorry for the bad pictures, it was from a phone..

Things needed:
-Decal
-Squeegee
-Tape
-Water (Spray bottle)
-Alcohol (For cleaning)
-Napkins
-TIME!


Okay, so here we go!
1)Clean your area with alcohol+napkins

2)Measure where you want the decal to be placed at.

3) Remove the top two tapes that you applied, like so. This creates a hinge.

4) Remove the tape that was on the move the tape that was on the decal..
no picture sorry, forgot

5)Spray (mist) the decal. This will help with the air bubblesss

5)Apply the decal from corner to corner, don't worry about the small air bubbles just yet.

6)Use a squeegee or some card to remove the air bubbles that are in the letters.

7)Do a final inspection.. and then remove the tape SLOWLY remove the film that was holding the letters.. there you have it!

Looks pretty clean. I haven't been into Honda's for a while--just sold my 1993 325i. But when did SOHC become a bragging right? I am by no means tearing you down but wouldn't just an iVtec decal be better?
