Yeah, no problem -

If I fiddled with it for a little and couldn't really make everything line up perfectly - could've been me or the sticker, maybe with more time/concentration on the task at hand, but I'm pretty satisfied. It's so difficult to see the slight imperfect on a quick glance that it doesn't really bother me; it got rid of the huge silver part clashing with the black and that's what I really wanted to fix.

I think that I might have put too much water on the back and that made it stretch too much out of its original form - when I was fiddling with the 'C' I thought it would never fit as if the font or size were just slightly off? When I have time I could peel it off and try it again I guess.

kenchan 10-22-2010 01:34 PM

yah if you're going to work on it do is soon so that the adhesive doesn't cure all the way. once it cures the vinyl will only stretch out of shape when you pull back and change shape permanently. :eekdance:

Ahhh F*ck it then - I'm happy with the way it is and I have to learn 80 new Chinese characters by Monday so I can't be mucking around with the car anymore.

Simota, thanks for all of your hard work, but what is the possibility now of a V2.0 overlay with that "C" fixed ? I'd be happy to send you $15 or so for a better one and not bother with the one that I already ordered. The money is not a big deal, I'd like it to look as "factory" as possible.

I received my overlay today too. :tup:

Just got through putting it on. All the letters show through except for the F. The vertical part shows up, but not the horizontal. Regardless it looks much better than OEM. Thanks again Simota1.

rico magic 10-22-2010 07:31 PM

Just got mine today and will put it on tomorrow... not enough light and my eyes are a bit tired. Even if it is off by a smidge, it is still better than a big silver thing in yo face! Thanks again for getting them out so quickly! I almost threw it out because I thought it was junk mail... the big "Do not bend FRAGILE!" was what threw me off... lol.

Received mine yesterday here in SouCal, will let you know how it looks when I get a chance to do the install. If you come up with a slightly tweaked version I can peel it off and try the next generation since no permanent modification is being done. Thanks Simota, I know this was a labor of love for you.

kevr6 10-23-2010 08:34 PM

Now what's the best way to install to avoid stretching and such?
