Default Putting the Type R OEM Stickers back on the Hype R (Pics)

First off, thanks to Len for shipping out my stickers and parts in a professional manner. If anyone has the helms manual for the 1998 integra and doesnt mind scanning it for me, that would help immensely.

The weapon of choice for spraying the soapy solution:

Question is how many drops of dishing washing soap do you think I should use for that size bottle ?? I am also using distilled water as advised.


What lines up with the end of the fender ?? THe very end of the sticker, or one of those notch cutouts ??


Proper positioning right ?? I am assuming the very bottom edge of the sticker aligns with the bottom of the body panel and the curve aligns with the taillight, what does that notch in the sticker mean ??

I took mine off the first day I got the itr... Once in awhile I see one with the stickers on still and I kinda like it. But then I look at mine and I don't see myself driving with those stickers on.... Dunno.... I'm weird I guess.

soapy solution? Isn't that only for vinyl? I usually use 3M adhesive remover or equivalent to prep the area for a sticker.

The rear itr sticker, lines up with the turn signal part of the taillights...

As shown on page 20-168 of the 1998 Integra service manual...

On the side stickers, the pair of notches closest to the end of the side stickers line up with the edge of the wheel well openings. The top edge of the side stickers lines up with a body line.

On the rear sticker, the curved part of the upper right corner lines up with the turn signal light edge. The notches line up with what appears to be the lower edge of the tail light assembly and the top edge of the body-colored body panel.

In that last photo, you are holding the sticker slightly TOO LOW. The bottom edge of the sticker does not align with anything. The notches should line up with the top of the yellow body panel.

Do NOT use dishwasher soap solution, which will keep the stickers from sticking. Clean the surface with alcohol before applying the stickers. (Adhesive remover is often the same as, or similar to, alcohol; both are solvents which will remove any dirt and grease.)

Are you 100% sure not to use any kind of soapy solution ?? I have been advised by several people to either use distilled water or a soapy solution to be able to adjust the sticker once it has been placed on the body panel.

Depends on how good you are with vinyl. I can put sheets of vinyl without even using water 1/2 the time.
If you arent good at it. use water with a little soap to position it. Just realize you need to let it thuroughly dry before trying to peel the paper off. The soap makes it take longer to dry.
You can just use straight water too.
