Default Rear Bumper Protector

Another question...

Is this rear bumper protector easy to install myself without getting air bubbles, etc? I know Sewell has instructions on their site

http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2010/1792.html

Anyone done it? Price isn't bad, and has lexus logo on it, which is cool

Thanks!

Use a mild mix of water/dish soap solution to spray onto the bumper/vinyl first, then lay the vinyl onto the bumper. Place it exactly where you want it, and start to swipe over the vinyl with squeegee or a CC (if you've got nothing else). Vinyl installation 101.

Perhaps watching a video or two on YouTube about installing vinyl might increase your confidence.

Overall a 2 out of 10 in the difficulty department.

Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo and distilled water work best. just don't spray too much soap/ water or its a ***** to squeegee out and that alone can leave bubbles/ marks
