I'd be interested too (I already have decals)

Those look great!
Best part is, no t-nuts ... which is what damages most factory wings (the decal divots where the t-nut is).
Mine .... this is the game headed to Southern Fried Gameroom Expo (with the proto playfield installed).
I had to wet mount these ... flat out impossible to install dry. Once wet, it was a breeze.
Best part about these is you don't have any t-nut divots. That's what ruins the decals on the factory wings.
These things are freakin' awesome.
I used straight tap water. It's still a pain to position (you can't just slide it around like you can a plastic model decal, or a game side decal) but you can get it close enough on one edge that you can get that edge down and aligned.
Then I went across the middle, then out to the opposite corners, going slowly and carefully.
You can add water if you need to, it's gonna squeeze out the edge and fall right off.
You have to be VERY VERY careful (and lift back up if required) that you don't crease it while rubbing it flat.
Once it's on, and flat, and w/out ripples or creases, you can basically rub out from the center to all four edges and squeeze the water out. This will also remove any air bubbles, leaving a perfectly flat decal.
One thing I'll add with the water method ... don't use a plastic squeegee when smoothing out the decals.
Just use your hands/fingers. It's very easy to scratch the mirroring.
Regarding the fear of applying the decals, just go real slow, and STOP if you are going to crease it.
The water allows you to pull back up and reset that part.
As an aside, the Australian $$ is so cheap right now, it's worth it to order a backup set of decals in case you either have an issue during decal application, or in the future, have a damaged decal.
