The bottom of the decal from Alpha Vinyl does not want to lay properly at the bottom of the hood. That is what makes this install difficult. I would make sure that you prep the surface and the decal with a good amount of application solution ( spray bottle of water with 3 or 4 drops of dish soap or baby shampoo). position the decal starting at the top of the hood (it should be easy to work with if you used ample amount of solution) Once in place, start in the middle of the decal with credit card wrapped in microfiber cloth moving from top to bottom. The bottom 1/3 of the decal is the hard part. I used a hair dryer to make the decal more pliable and slightly shrink the larger bubbles. I also massaged the last few creases and bubbles out to the end of the decal with my fingers. it took a while and some patients, but eventually it worked. Once the decal is completely dry, apply the pinstripe from the top being careful not to stretch it.
Good luck,:thumb:
