Nismo Decal On Hood

Nismo Decal On Hood
I got this Nismo decal i want to put on the drivers side of the hood above the headlight.
Problem is i never applied one before and don't want to screw it up(crooked, bubbles, etc.) Never been a fan of decals.
So should I prep the area some how?
What are the measurements to make it look good?
I've seen some 4th gens on this forum with the small nismo logo the same way i want it i just forgot who.
Advice please.

I use rubbing alcohol all the time...I didnt say soak the paint it. Cured automotive clearcoat is not damaged by rubbing alcohol. It will remove wax as well as any surface dirt, which is exactly what you want. Leave the dish detergent for the ducks. You deff need to wax the car right after though.

The execution of an action, is not in itself, validating.

I know, I know I'm a biter for doing it.
Also never knew there was this much hate for the nismo decal. Maybe it's the location. But i like it.
There is still one thing that irks the **** out of me about it. There is some sticky residue on top of the letters. wonder if it will go away if i run it through a car wash.

i used to make stickers and tints and rubbing alcohol is used to clean glass from dirt. not to apply stickers with or clean paint. thats one reason why the soapy water solution is used. so you can clean the surface, wipe it down, spray again and squeegee it on. the reason you spray and apply the sticker on a wet soapy water mix is so you can adjust and move it around to your liking. cant do that w rubbing alcohol.
