Interesting...I'd like to see some solid colors or carbon fiber as well!

I couldn't get the top-portion of my center-stack decal to adhere; I even had AC send a replacement that suffered the same problem. Did you not have any issue getting yours to stick?

It's a shame- I love the look of my carbon decal but it looks unfinished without the top piece...

I was looking at these decals; what's the quality like? Does it wrap around the whole handle or stop at the seam that's visible on the top-side? Your impression on quality feel in person?

Did you clean it real well with alcohol? Glass cleaner isn't strong enough. I have heard of these and other decals not sticking because it wasn't cleaned enough

Out standing! The pictures don't do them justice. I was amazed on the quality for the price. The metalic silver looks just like paint it is very nice. It is far better than I imagined it would be

The handles do stop on the seam on top. If it wrapped around it might unroll after many pulls on the handle.

Is yours not a solid color now? :wink:

I would bet the carbon fiber look great, if your into that kind of thing, The metallic silver looks deep so I'm sure the carbon would too. Maybe joshknot can post a pic of his :popcorn:

I attacked that thing with straight isopropyl; at this point I'm planning on trying to find some decent adhesive that I can add on my own that won't leave a residue behind when it eventually comes off.

Door-handle decals sound good too...you might've just sold me on them.

Thanks :thumbsup:

I have one from AC (See my gallery) in red/black. Mine also didn't want to adhere on the top section but after pressing it repeatedly over time, it's now stuck. I think it's because that section is so small in area...

Had a similar problem. The CD slot and the speedo coombine to make the center area very narrow. It was actually my very first mod. :)
Heres a pic of mine, before I installed my chrome line interior retrofit.
