Thanks for the closeup chevyvette1. It will certainly be an upgrade from the flat decals I have now. Now if those swatches would just show up in the mailbox, I could get the things on order...

If it were me I would just get the EB, I just love that color, it will be the color of my next vette (If I could ever part with red baby)

I have 2 tone black/electron blue Vette Essentials leathers in my car. They are not quite as dark as I thought they would be, but turned out to match very well with the blue LED lighting I've installed. Just trying to keep the color coordination in sync.

it really wakes up the steering wheel, I just wish the cyberdine sticker fit better. It's not even close at the base of the flagpoles.

if you match the flagpoles, then its off at the top. Look at the OP's picture, its perfectly aligned at the top, and looks completely off at the bottom.

I'll get you a pic of mine when I get home... I'm fairly sure it's level all the way around.

I see it was a little off at the bottom, I did try starting from bottom and working my way up, but I would have had to strech it a little to fit on top, but to be truthful, I didn't even notice it until I took the upclose picture, you dont even notice it when you are sitting in the drivers seat, and in my defense, I did it last night in the garage and the lighting wasn't the greatest


I'm diggin' the ashtray door decal

that is a decal that on put on each wheel, I also used them on the floor in my garage, they work nice

I have to agree. I wish the fit was better. Why can't they redesign them so that the fit is better? Don't get me wrong, but for $25 you think that they would be perfect. I have been emailing Mr Knight at Cyberdine and the problem is that the logo on the steering wheel and the door sill are slightly different. His decals were made for the sill and that is why they don't fit the steering wheel perfectly. He is not interested in investing in another set of molds for a new steering wheel decal so either do without or live with the short flag staffs.
