Consumer report: got these in the mail today, and besides the tedious task of getting them trimmed just right (they're too long for the bonnet), they just won't ever look like they came w/ the car. Once they're on. they look great from a distance, but get in close and it's very easy to tell that they're an afterthought. Waaaay too many inconsistancies, and I don't want to get overly agressive w/ a squeegee for fear of scratching the bonnet finish. I won't use them, and now that I've trimmed them, I'm sure they're not returnable. Oh, well, a $37 experiment- worth a try, but if I want the real deal, I'll have to have them done professionally. Having messed w/ these, I can imagine what kind of nightmare a full scale stick-on roof graphic would be!! No slam on the company, just not a workable idea
