How easy is it to install the protection decals myself?

Are these decals exactly the same size as the original factory ones?

The decals fit very well but may have slight size differences compared to factory originals. This is normal for aftermarket replacements, but customers report that the fit is excellent and does not affect the protection or appearance negatively.

Arrived promptly, as described and expected. Installation is a bit fiddly and time will tell how much protection they are.

easy install

Somewhat difficult to remove the old ones, time consuming but not difficult. New ones install super easy and look great. I should have done this years ago

Added protection

Just painted my Vanagon and wanted an added way to protect the paint. Does the job well.

they are cut perfecty

They fit very well.

Not exactly the same as the factory ones.

Let’s start establishing im a purist, if your van doesn’t have the old ones you don’t have any problem because you’re not going to see the difference, in my case i still have the old ones and i compared them, the new ones are way bigger than the factory ones that doesn’t matters to a normal person (not my case) other than that they are made with a good quality material.
