Challenger Centerpiece Overlay

Product Installation Instructions

General suggestions for the installation:

1. We recommend washing the entire car first. Next, clean the application areas (badges, indents, etc…) with rubbing alcohol several times to remove any other oil or dirt. Q-Tips help with cleaning out crevices. Be sure there is no alcohol or water on the badge during the decal application.

2. For best results, work in a relatively warm, dry area and allow the working surface to change to the room temperature before application. It's recommended to work in 50 ° F or warmer) temperatures.

Product-specific recommendations:

Main Centerpiece Engine Cover Overlays

• It is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL that you thoroughly clean the engine cover and lettering with rubbing alcohol prior to installation. Be sure to remove any grease and clean inside the crevice that goes around the centerpiece. This crevice will fill up with water later in the application and you want to be sure there is NO DIRT OR GREASE inside of it. The engine cover also must be cool/room temperature.

• First, using tweezers, apply the center of the “8”. Just lift each oval off of the backing one at a time and apply to the engine cover in the center of the 8. Make sure to apply pressure after the center is applied and be sure not to “stick” it with the tweezers.

• Next, flip the decal over so you're looking at the white backing (be sure again your work area is clean so you don't scratch the decal as you flip it over).

• Carefully peel up the white backing at the bottom, so your pulling it up by the “5.7L V8” cutouts. Peel it back about a half inch beyond the 5.7 L.

• Take a pair of scissors and cut the white backing away that you just peeled up.

• Place the decal now on the engine cover. Line up the back so it's straight and start working around the lettering. It's easiest to line up to the top of the 5.7L, then just work your way down adjusting as appropriate.

• Press this firmly in place staring at the middle and working your way to the corners.

• Next, peel away the rest of the white backing, but don't let the decal touch the surface yet.

• Holding the decal at the top in the middle, start to lay it down now. Take your squeegee and run it up the center. Go right to the edge on the back.

• Now it should all be down. Take the squeegee and work from the center to the edge to work out any air bubbles. Press down around the sides.

• Take your heat gun and start to warm up the edges you just wrapped down. Once you heat them, just keep pressing down. Apply high heat to the corners. You basically need to “melt” to vinyl into place. Be careful though not to burn the vinyl or melt your cover! Keep the squeegee in hand and just keep working the edges.

• Let this sit now for a few minutes and just keep going back working any edges that might be sticking up. They will eventually adhere and you can use the heat gun again to help.

• Use a Q-tip to press around the 5.7L V8.

• This completes the installation. If installed properly, the edges should be very difficult to lift. There may be some crinkles where they bend around the corner and this is OK.
