Just spray some Windex on the body and apply your sticker, you'll be able to move it around and once placed, let the Windex evaporate or squeegee it out with a piece of plastic. That's what I do with all my bodies. My Suby WRC '08 and Copper Mix Silvia would have been near impossible with all the complex decals.

I'm still dealing with the e-bay mess.

He claims i will get the reproduction decal on friday, and hes not a scammer. he claims he will give me a full refund. at this point i'm expecting nothing from the guy, lets see if he surprises me, it has been over a month now.

can't wait for Pyramid Models to come :P.

I DO dread having a second go at installing the AVANTE side decals again, i wonder if anybody ever got them installed correctly they must be the hardest decals to install ever.

Yeah me too. I'm gonna ask him for a refund.

I can't wait for him any longer!!

herohilux4x4 is 100% a scammer, he sent me 3 bogus tracking numbers so far all different numbers, nothing is trackable. the Negitives have just started rolling in, what a pain in the butt.

Yeah he give's a 12 digit tracking number when Thieland post want a 13 digit number.

He keeps saying "wait a few mpre days".

I think I waited long enough!!

This scammer is a gem, he keeps emailing me increasingly insane sob stories.

He now tells me after giving me 3 different 12 digit tracking numbers that there is no tracking number, and his dog died.

And that's causing him destress and how it's critical I help him get his account re-instated.

Then he tells me some fictitious guy just got his decals after a month and I should take it on faith to wait longer.

Seriously do not wait escalate your case.

Well I did escalate my case. Now I gotta wait for E-bay to do some thinking!!

Will I get my money back I wonder?

The cr*$p he's feeding you is unbelievable. I'm not interested in his other customers getting their decals. I'm more interested about me getting mine!!

at this point its out of my hands, if it get any thing back great :lol:

the last time this happened(i seriously think it was the same scammer) was with a sand scorcher front bumper ebay found in my favor and i got a full refund.

but i know the guy most likely pocketed my cash and ebay and paypal were out the money, so somebody always loses.

if he starts emailing you the same nonsense just laugh what else can you do.

I wonder just how many peole he's scammed?

Or how many accounts he's had?
