When you see other images that have these graphics, the vary wildly...

Even on Spankrjs 2 in the picture, it seems like it was more yellow/orange than the more brown I got.

Don't let the A.D.D get the best of you. Put those decals away and finish wet sanding that thing. :)
 
trust me, I am going to have to put my good glasses on to see how those things line up... have much respect for people that do this for a living.

Installing decals is definitely a challenge but not as hard as many think as long as you know the proper procedure. A mist bottle with a drop or two of Dawns dish washing detergent, a squeegee and a lot of patience. There are some really good videos on you tube about this. There is also some really bad videos too though.
 
I have done it before, it just takes a lot of time and measuring. The sides are all wet sanded and buffed out so I figured I would line up and see what I got there.
cutting them out of the big sheet took a while on its own. Then the long stripe between the wheel wells is a little long it looks like (or I have to take the fender flare off, which is probably what I am going to do.
All in all, they are very nicely made and nicely done. I stuck the little white "Jeep" ones on without any issue at all and they came out great.

The Jeep is going to get the exhaust done on Thursday at a friends shop. I have all the parts and pieces from before, but right now with straight duals from the 360, I can only run it for a minute or 2 before the heat starts to heat up the gas tank... I don't want to have BBQ me in the garage.

After it comes back, I will do the side decals, wet sand the hood, buff, hood decals and the windshield install and call it a day for the winter and start on the Scrambler.

Here is the same kit on my Copper Brown Jeep.
