I did not like the fitment. Each piece had to be trimmed. I took them off the same day and threw them away. Lost $31.

Starting to sound like people don't know how to work with vinyl. A touch big is no problem just tuck the edges. I've got a feeling the people that had problems are not useing the soapy water and heat gun/hair drier. My vinyl install kit includes: soft rags q-tips razor blades x-acto knife bottle of soapy water hair drier tweezers If you didn't use any of this, you did it wrong. The only time I have to cut anything is when I do a custom vinyl wrap. I have never had to cut a kit, from Bat or otherwise. Not a flame just an FYI.

i never used soap and water and my turned out great reason being i didnt use the soap and water is because when the soap dries up it leaves a white residue on the vinyl and since i have the smoke one the residue was showing thru the vinyl

Just don't try to take them off... Big sticky mess of little pieces. Use a hairdryer from the beginning.

True, apply heat to the overlay. It makes it pliable and easy to remove with no residue Bat-

Only need a drop of dish soap in a spray bottle.
