What's the best way too install a headlight package on an Md3 nose so they can stand abuse and stay on for more than a weekend?
Place the decals on a piece of alumiumn. Then cut them out and rivet on the nose. OR use a clear piece of laminate to place over them to help protect from rocks,dirt,ect.

Honestly the best way is to piss in a rag and wipe the nose down before you install them. That's what I was told by Jeff the owner of performance bodies. It actually works !!! Something about the specific type of acid in piss promotes adhesion
Can you do a youtube video of this, you know for proper mounting?

The piss does that same thing without damaging the plasticI have never tried the piss theory, however these plastic noses have a release agent on them. That's why stickers don't stick very well. I used acetone or paint thinner only on area of decal. Dampen a rag and wipe area well. Then apply decal, This works for me.

After you stick them on shit in your hand and cover the decal. Then let it sit for 15 min and dry with a heat gun until solid. then grind off with high speed buffing wheel.I pissed all over it today, so ill see how this holds up.. Thanks guys
