when putting decals on:

1) park the car outside so you can take a step back and look at it and make adjustments

2) spray on water or window cleaner before you put the sticker on... and then use a credit card to get all the water out from underneath. that way you can move the sticker around for a minute and make sure its in the right spot before squee-geeing out the water.

The Helm's manual actually gives you points of reference and measurements for applying them.

Another for the Helm's manual...

not everything on the itr is hand crafted hahaha...its still built by machines the A badge or the acura badge sure arent hand applied... and stickers (like the dohc vtec sticker on 99-00 si's) dont get put on by hand, i'm sure. too much room for error.

Pretty sure the ITR ones are put on by hand. Not 100% sure, but pretty sure. they are extremely easy to put in the right spot if you glance at the helms.

I don't know if they are or aren't, but my rear one is certainly crooked. So are a few others I have seen. If they are attached by machine, I think the machine needed to be re-calibrated when #1374 went down the assembly line.

If stickers on your car bother you this much, maybe you should see a psychologist.

Not a flame, I am serious.

I saw the topic of this post, and thought "Oh no, another ITR stolen/wrecked."

Why exactly does a crooked sticker make you depressed?

Last time I had to replace the stickers I remember there being a cutout for the wheel well which let you know exactly what is straight and what is not. Where are you guys getting these stickers from?
