  • These black refelctive overlays can be a pain!!

    Mostly just on the front firebird. I took my time last night
    and put them on. Of course the instructions tell you to use a misty soap/water mix to maneuver them on. The bird gave me the most issues, as today I had to use a tiny bit of glue on 3 of the tip areas to set in.

    That can be a pain. . . Never sticks right the first time.

        Be real careful with the pontiac letters. That didn't even give me a hard time. Where did you get your overlays from Josh?

          I had chrome overlays on all of the letters on the car and after a while you'll get pissed because they start peeling. Make sure you never spray water right on them and wash very carefully around them, mine didn't last very long.

                    Jeff is right. I had chrome overlays on my 77 Camaro, and I got really bent out of shape when they started peeling also. Spraying water directly at them will wash them away like Calgon! Mine only lasted a short time also...

                            Actually the chrome ones are worse because they are made out of a less flexable material and tend to curl after a while. They definatly look bad ass but it sucks that they don't seem to last as long.

                              I only got a few good months out of mine before they did that, I completely agree...
