Hey Rex, check out this thread http://www.thecabg.net/decals-and-techniques-f10/ it should have everything you need. Check before you post. Also, please capitalize letters at the beginning of new sentences, and use punctuation at the end. Thanks!

Also behold a whole thread for questions like this. http://www.thecabg.net/new-members-area-f14/new-member-questions-ask-your-questions-here-t625.htm

Good idea. Whenever a new member comes here, they seem to ask the decal question don't they. Aren't there any more purists in this world?!!?!

Not after you quit....

I just emailed TLC about decals/stickers. Anybody else have ones that were all F'd up!

What was wrong with them?
Only problem I had is that my sticker sheet didn't have the STAP sticker.

NO UBER! That's exactly what I thought too! I was going to post the sheet online to ask if anyone else had the problem but there actually is a STAP sticker on there! I'll show you where it is if you still have it...

Rook what's effed up with your stickers?

I found it!
Stupid transparent-almost-invisible sticker!

Here's the pictures. My Rep. Attack Ship was about the same.

See I told you! That's what I thought too! I don't have bad eyesight, but I put that sticker sheet under a light, and practically up in my face. It was soo hard to find wasn't it!?

My RGS sticker was all crumpled too, it worked though.

Ouch Rook. That's no good. Hopefully TLC will send you a new one, free of postage charge too. The only way I think that it could get like that is if the box was being shaken- whether it be a little kid, or during transport to the store.
