BlackSheep is right. Since the vinyl is black and your car is black, it blends the both together. Just leaving the writing exposed to red.

Now if you really wanted to tint the light, you could. But, the light will not be as bright shinning thru the writing.

and when JJ makes them, he makes them right. And you pop the 3rd light off wrap it all the way around the light, and you don't get the red around the outside like I have.

I was asked by MonteCarlo01SS if i could make a SuperCharged over lay with out the SS on it. Here is it. Also he asked me about an overlay for the center caps. Here it also.



The round overlay is 3". That way you can just remove the cap and install these perfectly.

Forgot to mention. These are scanned also. This is exactly how they will look.

finally got a chance today to put the brake light cover on that JJ made for me. took just a few minutes to pop the light out and take off the old overlay. cleaned it up and installed the new one. looks really good and fit like a glove! there's a small gap between the top of the brake light and the trunk, so i have to realign the light a smidge, but otherwise it looks great! Thanks JJ!!!







on a side note, i quick waxed the back before i took the pictures. when i went back in the garage to put the wax away, i noticed that the clay bar kit i had bought last week looked like it'd been opened. so i opened it and there was no clay bar in there!! just the detailer and the little bottle of polish. so i took it back to autozone, go up to the counter and told the kid that i bought it last week and just noticed that there was no clay bar in there. he says, "the yellow square thing?" (the picture on the box....) i said, "yes....the yellow square thing." (sigh.) he opened the box, inspected the contents thoroughly, and decided that "i bet someone probably ate it. it looks like cheese."

my thoughts exactly.

I'm glad you liked it. The Tony Steward sig really looks good. It took me a while to find a good clear pic of it. But when i did, i used the pen tool and worked my magic.

My dad was instantly in love with it.

I put it on for him and it came out really really nice. But I couldn't get any pictures. Sorry.
