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.

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.

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.

hey waaaasabi... sorry man that was the same problem i had.... i guess that was the problem with the original overlay and didnt catch it until i mass produced it

Dwight Frye · 10-22-2010, 06:55 PM

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.

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.
