masonjl

masonjl

Lori, the clear should peel off once you get it centered and stuff......sorry to hear it is raining -- i know how much it sucks when ya wanna do something to your car and can';t for one reason or another....

masonjl

there ya go!!! i'm sure ryan would be willing to sell ya some vinyl.... as long as you have red or white in the back its okay for lights/reflective....and the reflective vinyl shows white.....so it is completely legal!!!!

masonjl

pimpin, let us know if you use ullbergm's designs and how they turn out......i would make sure to give him credit somewhere in the design too.....

masonjl

loc,why don't you buy some vinyl that matches your car color and affix it over the entire area. its pretty flat and smooth, if you have to fill the letters in with some sort of filling compound and then put the vinyl over it and it will all look good, assuming you take your time....i think it would ...

masonjl

sorry to hear that......man, i know i would go off, as i'm sure you would have, if i SEE anybody do that to my car.....but as is often the case we don't find out till after the fact.....Hope your car atleast looks as good as new.....

masonjl

i put them right over the existing badges, makes them look neat....they kind of have a silouhette look to them.....

masonjl

just installed my overlays from graphxwerks. they look GREATreally easy to install......

masonjl

masonjl

i'll park next to EXPENSIVE cars or away from everyone....cause they don't want their doors dinged either...

masonjl

i know what you are saying, its costing me more to keep my car looking nice then any of the darn mods i wanna do......

masonjl

masonjl

masonjl

a hair dryer will work jsut the same for heat.....any type of strong CHEAP aftershave works good to get that goo off toooo!!!JUST SAY NO TO FREE ADVERTISING!!!!!

masonjl

Bondo wouldn't work...but there is a plastic adhesive specially made for that type of application....its expensive!!!why'd you have to paint your doors and hood already????
