DIY: 7thgencivic.com Sticker
So... Someone on this forum did this before me, but I decided to make a small DIY. Thanks to that someone, I think this is the perfect spot for the 7thgencivic.com sticker.
Anyway, first you need a razor and a hard surface to cut on and a flat edge to use. Cut the 7thgencivic.com sticker into little bits and pieces. No, just kidding. Just cut out the letters making very straight and very sharp lines with thye razor. Don't mess up. I used some transparent tape to hold it down when I was cutting. Then take the letters and line them up on the car and get a feel for the spacing. Then use a piece of tape on each letter and stick them to the windsheild. Of course, I cleaned my windshield before doing this...
Then use a piece of tape to lift up the letters and take out the white backing. That will come off quite easily since it's grip on the sticky stuff is like the grip wax paper has on stickers.
After removing all of the white pieces I just kinda made sure that the white letters were stuck on really well. I did this by rubbing them with the flat side of my fingernail. Alternating nails after a while 'cause they tend to get hawt! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Then just take off the remaining tape and you're done.
Am I insane or what? Turned out nice though and in my book it was worth the time.

Rep Power: 0 Looks good man. Just one question though, and I don't mean this in a bad way, but what's the benefit of cutting out each of the letters? Better spacing I guess .. ? Otherwise, yeah, looks pretty sharp.

Rep Power: 419 Yeah, 3 would be kinda weird. I actually had the first 7thgencivic.com sticker on the side window. I didn't like that, so I tore it off and put the 2nd one in an excellent spot IMO. This DIY is kinda a joke of course, but at least it gives you guys an idea of where to put that sticker. [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]
