When is the best time to Install Taillight Overlays?

I want to install bluebat's taillights overlays on my G37. The weather is around 40* outside everyday and i'm just wondering whether it's ok or should i wait until warmer weather or summer?

Thanks

I never installed them myself but I believe the most important thing is to keep wetting the backing to ensure an lubricated interface when fitting...
Also use a heat gun to dry it out and credit card to scrape the moisture out.

do it in your garage so no dust falls in.

im 30mins outside your area man, its 30degrees right now.

even with a heat-gun, the air that will come out of the heat gun will cool down instantly; causing your application to not work well.

wait till its at least 60degrees outside and then do it.

Do it in a garage with a heat gun and spray soapy water, I used to vinyl a lot and it can be a pain the first few times
