Nice job on the install, looks great...nice and evenly spaced too. The OEM side swoops are also available...same sticker for both G01 and G02.

The stickers, all together, are easily good for about +3 psi/+10-15hp. I don't have any dyno sheets or valid dragy runs to prove it though. Butt dyno thinks they helped a little with throttle response too.

Difficult. I used the dry method to install and they were a real pain in the arse. I think some have alluded to using the wet method to install these. That would be the way to go since it is more forgiving and allows for some fine tuning.

Gotcha! Yes that's what I did for the front one and it helped a lot

Hi,
A long time ago a signwriter was putting some stickers on some of our company vans and he showed me how he did it.
He first thoroughly cleaned the side of the van.
He then wet side with a high concentration water/washing up liquid mix.
He then put sticker on van and it was easy to slide into position.
He then removed excess liquid and air bubbles with a wooden roller - a bit like a paint roller.
He then washed off excess liquid that had squeezed out of the edges of the sticker and dried it with a cloth.
I have used this method ever since for any stickers that I have needed to place on vehicles, windows and any other shiny surfaces.
Cheers
Steve
