GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Does anybody with two-tone have any experience with the Grafxwerks "PONTIAC" overlay for the depression on the back hatch? The website says that it has not been tested on non-monotone cars. Just trying to figure out if it will stick.

i was wondering the same thing, i dont see why it wouldn't fit, they appear to be the same

I'm not sure fit is the problem. I think the issue is if the overlay will adhere onto the plastic (and stay on even when it gets wet).

I have it on mine and I have told Ryan that I have had no problems what so ever....there is a picture on my cardomain website if you want to see it.

Thanks ArcsVibe, with the hood deflector and Grafxwerks overlays, our vibes are looking kinda similar (just a different color scheme)

I took the plunge and put in an order with Ryan for the PONTIAC (plus a couple of other things). I'll post pics when the stuff is on.

Can't wait to see your pics!!

Just trying to figure out if it will stick.I mentioned that because the non-monotone license hood is textured, and when you try to stick anything to a textured surface, obviously there is less adhesion. I've actually had 4 or 5 non-mono Vibe owners tell me that their inlay is holding up fine, so I will remove that caveat.As with all my products, if you do have a problem, I'll make it right - RyanGrafxWerks

I can also confirm for two Vibes that the Pontiac inlay from Grafxwerks does just fine on the 2-tones. I bought a reflective bright blue one for my Neptune sometime in the spring of '03. Also bought a reflective bright red one for my friend's Salsa 2-tone later on that spring.Both installed just fine, not any issues with adhesion. Even after washing my car at least on a weekly basis, and being exposed to the elements constantly, it is still holding up fine. And, the color on both of these is just as vibrant as the day I dug these inlays out of the mailbox. Good stuff, Ryan!

Hey does anyone have a vinyl of brushed aluminum? after i got my mr. grille installed i think brushed aluminum overlays for the pontiac symbols would look good but i cant tell from the color chart how it really looks.

I cleaned out the pontiac little groove letters with the alcohol pads and a q-tip. worked great

How do these hold up to a pressure washer ? Would one have to be careful around the overlay ?Anybody have pics of the PONTIAC overlay or the front dart on an Abyss Vibe ? Thinking about getting those and possibly others and wondering what colors might look nice. It would be neat to see one and see how it looks.

I wouldn't know, my Vibe has never been subjected to a power washer. they scare me.lol

hmm, I wash my car at one of those do-it your self places with the brush and power washer. so do you just recommened i dont spray on the vinyls or just spray from far away?oh yea Ryan, I just got a bunch of overlays from you last night, could you use more pics for the site?

I think as long as you use good judgement, you won't have any problems.Quote, originally posted by northvibe »oh yea Ryan, I just got a bunch of overlays from you last night, could you use more pics for the site?Of course, I'm always looking for good quality pictures!!Cheers,- RyanGrafxWerks

wow well i dont use pressure washer nozzles that make my hand bleed but it sorta hurts from that close. thnx for the tip, i usually wash it from 3 feet away with the washer unless i gotta spray some dead bugs off. When i get the overlays i'll take some sweet pics for ya!

i have the brush alluminum on the vvt-i on mine this is the best i have until i get my car cleaned and with the new decals.

I wanted to get some black overlays, but the site is down any Idea when it will be back up so I can order them?
