GrafxWekx Decals Installed!

oolunchbox · Post by **oolunchbox** » Tue Dec 02, 2003 1:24 am

Got my badges and CHMSL overlay last nite and jsut got them installed about 20 minutes ago. 3 Bordered Vibe Decals, a Bordered Arrowhead Decal and the CHMSL overlay took me about an hour to install give or take. the CHMSL got borked and is a little crooked but other than that everything looks GREAT! I got the pewter with black borders to match my shadow vibe and from afar it looks shaved but up close you can see the badges.thanks ryan for an awesome product, service and easy to follow instructions!

Looks great!! Do you have full-size verisons of the pics? If so, I'd love to display them on the site.- RyanGrafxWerks

looks nice great Idea!!

oolunchbox · Post by **oolunchbox** » Tue Dec 02, 2003 2:22 pm

i got the inside mount CHMSL cuz i figured the outside would prolly look a little hoakey and the inside would look a lil more "stock." i'm happy with everything thought i did learn that its a good idea to have plenty of light when you're installing it cuz it's kinda hard to see in there.

Nice, you'll love them!

"great job! it looks nice and clean.. "yeah everything looks excellent, i was suprised as to how easy and nice they went on even in the cold weather (though i was in a heated shop). everything was a snap thanks to ryan's instructions. if anyone is interested in any of his products, i can whole heartedly vouch for them, quality, good looking, and easy to install, plus they make a drastic difference in the appearance of your vehicle, vibe or otherwise i'm sure. I'm already trying to talk a kid i work with out of just shaving the badges on his civic and going my route.

I just ordered mine! I can't wait! I even opted to get the dual-color VVTL-i decals! This is the only reason I wish my car wasn't red, it kinda makes it difficult to change out the Pontiac emblems when they're already the right color!

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Sat Jan 17, 2004 8:59 am

hey will those vvtl-i decals fit on our engine covers?

oolunchbox · Post by **oolunchbox** » Sat Jan 17, 2004 9:51 am

As of now no, they measure 4"W X 9/16"H. I'm sure if you or someone asks Ryan really nice he'd be able to whip something up that would fit, i was actually thinkin of askin myself but you sorta beat me to it... i figured i could paint my engine cover to match my exterior and go with my same color scheme inside(so to speak) and out.Ryan, is is possible to get vvt-i decals to fit the engine cover?

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Sat Jan 17, 2004 10:16 am

well, import equipment has them for the vvt-i, but i haven't seen any for the vvtl-i engine cover.... i'll have to look again..

Quote, originally posted by oolunchbox »Ryan, is is possible to get vvt-i decals to fit the engine cover?I can definitely do this (for both the VVT and the VVTL), but I need to get my hands on the actual cover. I'll see what I can do - if someone has an extra and is willing to send it to me, I would glady pay return postage + a free decal.- RyanGrafxWerks

Would there be any trouble with sending it across the boarder? I'd be happy to send mine, it doesn't really do anything except sit there on the engine anyway so I wouldn't miss it for a while. Also, would the heat of being inside the engine compartment affect the decals? Wouldn't they melt or curl or discolor? Or do you have a different material to make them from that wouldn't be affected by the heat?

If you're willing to send yours, e-mail me and we'll work something out.The heat is not an issue either as it doesn't get hot enough to melt the vinyl.- RyanGrafxWerks

Ryan, anyone get you a GT cover yet? The VVT-i on the engine looks awesome! If I had the money, i'd send you my VVTL-i, but I need to wait a few paychecks to have spare cash around..

Alot nicer than the decal from that "other" place I had before. Purple and white are nice but I can't wait to see the red one you made me. Thanks Ryan! GrafxWerxs is the best.

Quote, originally posted by silverawd26 »I have them from the "Other Place" and have had no problems with them yet. They stuck fine but the quality of the vinyl was not up to GrafxWerks. It was much thinner. BTW, I had to order a new engine cover from GMPartsDirect.com because about 6 months after I painted the original cover red it was starting to chip and peel (poor prep on my part probably). So I bought a new one from GMPartsDirect.com (much cheaper than from the dealer) and this one I'll leave black but install a red "VVT-i 16-VALVE" decal along with red Pontiac arrowhead, "PONTIAC" and "RAM AIR" decals. BTW, that's my new cover you see in Ryans pictures. I sent it, not SGT.

Great job oolunchbox and Jahntassa! Pics and decals look great! Awesome job! I have the VVTL-i decals on the way for the body as well. I may get the ones for the stock cover, but they aren't really needed because I have Injen covers on my motor.
