Default 3D Decals

I wanted to let everyone know of a 3D decal vendor that was very fast and efficient. The contact name is Alex Knight at support@cyberdinegraphics.com. I ordered the steering wheel 3D decal and the airbag 3D decal on Tuesday, and I had them in the mailbox by Thursday. It took me less than 10 minutes to put them on and they look great. It adds a nice bit of color to the dash and steering wheel. I wish I could post a picture here, but if you are interested in seeing these, just let me know and I will email you a photo. In fact, if one of you guys can post these for me that would be great. ......Dwayne

Thanks Holly for posting the pictures for me. The camera flash kind of takes out the red coloring, but these are the red color. These decals come in brushed silver, yellow, blue, Navy blue, white, black, carbon fiber, and red. Now, what mod can I do next?.....

I ordered the same air bag 3D decal from cyberdine, and it was a POS...even though I followed the instructions on the web site to the letter (pun intended), the only ones that would stick were the "O" and the "V". Ended up using Locktite just to keep them down.

Maybe I just got a bad sample, hey?

JDs00PewterCoupe, those are the pics just a few posts above yours.

BubblePuppy, sorry to hear you had trouble with yours. I just used a Q-tip and some denatured alcohol, rubbed the surface that the decals would come in contact with and applied the decal. I made sure not to touch the sticky parts of the decal. I just peeled back the paper backing and when I had enough of the decal exposed, I just laid it in its place and pressed it down. POC (peace of cake). I ordered two sets, one for myself and one for a local friend. It will be interesting to see if his works well too.

Alex at Cyberdine Graphics is awesome! I ordered the door sill, airbag and steering wheel decals. Alex went out of his way to make what I wanted and ship the same day.

Here is a quick photo of the door sill...the flash makes the blue look lighter than it really is...it is actually a good match for Lemans Blue.



Thanks Alex!

Yeah, I followed the same process. I even used tweezers so that any oil from my fingers wouldn't get on the adhesive...they just wouldn't stay down. Oh, well, the Locktite made everything better. I have to admit that the "rounded" cyberdine decal looks much better than a flat decal. I ordered the "brushed silver" and it looks very nice. I'm just a little disappointed that, for $20, it didn't perform better.

I just received my 3D air bag door inserts. I hope to install them in an hour or so. I like the fact they are much stiffer than the vinyl inserts that never seemed to work for me.

I'll let you know if I have any issues installing them. I will post a photo after they are installed.

I just finished installing these decals on my air bag door. I will say these are the best looking of any decals I ever used. Easy to install too. I used paint thinner to clean off the surface area. These puppies really stick. They have super high gloss finish and since they are raised vinyl instead of a flat vinyl they really fill in the Corvette script.

Take a look:


I'm not sure if Alex is a CF supporting vendor, if not he should be. I did caution him that these threads will be closed if he's not a supporting vendor. He makes a great product worthy of your money.

I also have his 3D decals on my car. Without a doubt it is amongst the nicest pieces I have ordered for the car. I get compliments on them where ever I go. It looks 100% factory. Alex is also a GREAT person to do business with. He is also a CF supporting vender. What a combination!!!
