They have 3 listed. 2 are for 93-02 of which one is mild steel and the other is chrome moly. The 3rd is for the V6 and 96-97 SS.
Maybe they should update their site then. They lose business by not listing all their products: ie, me. Not everyone has their catalog. I planned on getting it from them, but then I saw they didnt have one for a v6 on their site = me looking elsewhere 1 min later.

If you have a high speed connection just down load thier catalog. It is a pdf file and you don't have to wait for it to come in the mail.

keep in mind most printed catalogs are not updated as often as online, it is possible the v6 one was discontinued, your best bet is always to call or email

make some pencil marks so it will be straight, apply one edge, and peel the paper as you go along go slow and use a plastic bondo er as you go to keep air bubbles out (that's how we applied the graphics on cars in the body shop)

As long as its warm and clean you shouldnt have a problem with it, i know a lot of people that use soapy water when puttin stickers on its a good precaution i guess since you can move it around until you have it set but they you have to make sure you let it dry out then.

I never use that (most of the graphics companies don't recomend it anymore since it kills the glue) a small graphic there really is no need anyway, now if doing a full body one there is a special solution that is great (keep in mind you have to hold that graphic in place and get all the water out from underneath)

I didnt put it on yet, I figure Ill wait til I have it in. I got it in a couple days ago... now it fricken snowed, so it will be awhile I guess... does it matter if the bar is cold? If I have the decal sitting inside will that work? or do you just suggest I wait til its warm out?
