Looking for recommendations on cold weather (Minnesota) installation of decals

Do it indoors.

Thanks for the response. Not what I was looking for. What I had in mind was a minimum temperature that would work for a proper installation. The Boxster is in my garage which can be warmed up.

I’d say 50-55F... more so that you’re not freezing your giblets off.

most decals are plastic, so the hotter it is the better adhesion you'll get.

You can also use a heat gun to warm the area up

Start with the decal at room temp. Heat gun the surface your applying it to. I would do it inside if possible. If it warmer than 50 inside you got it licked.
