Ive done it to the wheels on my Blazer. Very easy to do and it seems to hold up pretty well. Also if you mess up, it peels off pretty easily.

Hey Rog48!

Got to ask you about your front indicator relo... Have you had any problems with cracked lenses, water getting inside or anything else? I'm exploring ways to relocate my own. You got any close up pics of that?
