Illusion Graphics update - Pics.
Well, I got my rear graphics put on today. Leave it to me, the hottest day of the year. 
The install is not too difficult, but patience is really the key. I made a few mistakes but so far I've been able to work most of them out. I'll see how it goes for the next few days with the heat from the sun and the pipes. I love the look. Sorry the pics don't show more detail but I guess that's the nice part of the graphic. They just blend in. If you're considering the painted lower look this might be an option for you. As far as an update on the front. I've had it on for a week and a day. I've driven the car every day since the install and put a little over 500 miles on the nose. A couple of 100 plus mile highway trips and my standard work commute. The front graphic looks as good as the day I installed it. No visible wear or damage from rocks or otherwise. Again, Thanks Vince.

The graphics are a nice quality matte black finish. I believe that the black would look good on pewter.Paul

I also like your website and the tech tip for window tip in instructions. Very informative, I need to do that on the passenger side.

Your ride looks great, I only wonder how much more of an "eye" you have to keep on the black sections of your car since it's right in the area that seems to pick-up the most dirt ! (fortunately, I haven't found dirt to be as unsightly on my "torcher" as I've found with most cars I've owned!)
Yours does too.
