i recently purchased some decals for my car (the same as the ones in the attached image) and they have just arrived, seeing they cost close to $200 inc shipping the last thing i want to do is bugger them up, basically just asking if anyone has applied these kind of size decals to their car before or knows of anyone/company in adelaide who could help me with it, they did come with instructions but am not too sure about attempting it myself (worried about leaving air bubbles etc) thanks guys!

I've done this before, you just have to do it really slowly. Make sure you paint is perfectly clean and dry, take off the backing sheet, lay a small corner piece on and then apply using something with a nice flat surface, like a credit card etc. Make sure you push the air out as you go, and the end there may be a couple of tiny air holes, get a pin and gently pop them, then slowly peel the top sheet off, again using the cridt card or what ever as you go, and presto it's on. Also a good move to rub over the decal with the card prior to fitment so it's stick properly to the top layer of paper, otherwise parts can end up staying on the bottom piece and totally f**king it up.

Best of luck mate

sounds quite expensive for 400R/nismo style decals. but like mxtcy has suggested, take it real slow. patience is the key, in my opinion there is no need to take it to someone else to do it as its just going to cost you more money - i assume so anyways.

spray windex on your car, put the decal on, move it into place and wipe down with your credit card to make sure it's all smoooooooooth, let it dry then peel top sheet off........IS DONE IS GOOD!

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
