So, last week I get home around midnight from a 12hr shift, I happily find that the Bolt logos I ordered arrived, not wanting to waste time I head right out to my garage/shop and dutifully clean the glass and warm it up so the logo will adhere nicely, I even measured the glass so I could get the logo fairly centered on it.  And this is the result...............  




So the next morning I wonder outside to see how my handiwork looks during the daylight and......All that prep and dumbass forgets that I'm inside looking out.  looks nice from the inside, but backwards to all else.





I tried to remove it today and put it on right, but the vynal started to tear and curl, so for now its stays as is.........even though it bugs me. Next time I'll have to get some rest before I handle even the simplest of tasks. And yes I did manage to put them on the cars the correct way.

I know for fact you are not the only one that has put one on wrong... Look at some of the cars/trucks/RVs at the next LCR.  I'd say 1 in 4 is "wrong" ...  At least you have the extractor up so you could claim you are looking from the inside out or you have a lefty AR.  I like the ones that have the extractor at the bottom... Ejection back into the mag is a bitch!

Not near as heinous as putting a Glock sticker on wrong!

Bunny man tried to tell me my sticker was on wrong... Its all point of view, mine was as if you were looking at a closed bolt from the barrel side.

Easy fix...take out the window and put it inside out.

Just a thought.

well it looked perfect while I was putting it on, INSIDE.  so if I'm messing around in the shop I'm fine with it, its just everytime I walk by or am out doing yardwork I catch a glimpse of it and shake my head.  At least none of my neighbors have a clue as to how it should look, or probably even know what it is.
