They came with no directions, I called the vendor and they offered no real help (they said just stick them on). I thought you needed to use soapy water to allow you to move them around before they were stuck permently? Any tips? Thanks in advance 1946 Chevy 1/2-Ton In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Flickr
