Take your time. Make sure the stripping is clean before gluing. It comes with the "release agent" still on it. The release agent is to help remove it from the molds at the factory. If you don't get it all off, sometimes the adhesive won't stick. 
You can use alchohol to clean it, or even Windex.
Make sure the body parts are clean, also, with no old leftover adhesive. Other than that, it's pretty straightforward. Do one side at a time, so you'll have something to compare, as far as placement, etc. Good luck with your install!

Finished my 80 last weekend. After hearing story's about the adhesive removers tried goof-off. It worked great with a little rubbing and a couple small scrapers. Check all the screws out before you start. I had several that were shot. They are soft and strip right out. I ordered new screws before I started. I used this link for a guide.
