You take the cross-section of the vinyl and place it, say, over the hood and then peel off the backing to expose to sticking side. Some vinyl's come with pressure-activated adherence, some are sticky to begin with, but both require some heat-gun (read: blow-dryer) to soften the vinyl so you can press it down smoothly and get air-bubbles out. That's about it. Just a big sticker process
Do you have any links to places that sell the pressure-activated adherence vinyl? It seems like this would be much easier to install than the vinyl that is already sticky..
