you can vinyl the bowtie quite easily. I'll take some photos when i redo my back one. I don't really want to mess with paint around my car at all. If i had a garage or something with a controlled environment, maybe, but i don't.

That is true. I have seen many overlays, not the same at all. A bad paint job looks better than vinyl! With that said, it is easier to redo vinyl, LOL! I have painted many, on and off the car. It is very easy and quick. No rocket science. Todd (Uma)

Very Nice

I did mine too awhile back. On my white one, they really blend into the car. On your's that black and orange combo thing is slammin' Nice touch.

The white on white looks pretty sick too!

Just got the tail lights today...tried to put them in, but my fat hands don't fit so well.

Does the vinyl stuff come off easily w/o leaving anything behind? You know so if I screwed up.

should peel off. If there is any residue, goo gone should clean it up. I can let you know for sure when i redo my back one if it ever stays warm and dry for more then a day.
