Question Decal Question

I bought my 2003 Lancer and it came with all these vinyl decals on the side. Now some parts the edges are starting to come up. I was wondering if there was a product I could use to stick them back down without hurting my paint job. I think the dealer has everything under warrenty including the decals but that is about a 2 hour drive from where I go to college so I was hoping not to drive all the way up there. Thanks!

looks ok get it droped when you get your rims it will make it look alot better! but remember take your time if you plan on moddin your lancer to me that is the best way to do it! dont rush in to buying things do you research, find out if thats what you wanna do, and make the best decision for yourself and your car and dont worry about what others say about you or your car!

All you need to do is ,use a heat gun to heat up the graphic, which will reactivate the glue on the backside, don,t get it too hot or it will shrink and melt, just take a squeege or a credit card will work and smooth it back down.

unless your experienced with a heatgun i dont reccomend it.

Get a dryer, low heat, and go at it. Be sure not to hold it in one spot though because you could damage the paint, just evenly go across the decal till it becomes sticky and peel SLOWLY.

Good luck.
