I just finished putting on my headlight eyebrows. (It was a pain in the a$$). I wanted to know about how long do the bubbles stay? I am eager to see if i did a good job or if i wasted my time trying to do it myself. thx

Do you have any pics of your install? A few people I've seen do this just went to a Vynal shop, and paid them $20 or so

vinyl isn't like tint.. the bubbles will always be there.... you have 2 options.. you can either use a credit card to move them out of the vinyl or use a very sharp xacto knife and just poke a tiny tiny hole in the vinyl and use a credit card to squeege it flat :D

a threading needle would be better,a knife might put to big of a hole,just need a small hole that air can get through,but if you don't have any needles then yea id go with the exacto knife.

Great use of "squeegee" as a verb!

Okay, I'm weird.

mine doesn't have any bubbles (that I remember of) except where the writting stuff is on them.. I did it myself.. you just have to smooth it out with a hard card or something, but I just used my hands..

That's not as bad as people who use "wrench" as a verb.
