I gave up trying to get any decal to stick on my C5's (99 and 03) and my 06 coupe.

I'm not even going to bother on my 07 Z.

Thanks, I can see I'll need to buy stock in GoodYear. Half throttle and I get more tire spin than my modded 06 @ WOT. This could get expensive

Getting ready to order some "accessories"

. Let the games begin.

I have installed several sets for club members. As long as you clean the surface where they will be attached really well. Clean with alcohol using a Q-Tip you should be good for the duration. I will also use a Q-tip damp with Lacquer thinner just to make sure it is clean, especially if the dash has been treated with 303 or similar substance.

No-- but it leaves a white residue - - I used alcohol a few times on a Q tip just in the indentations both on the dash as well as the tail, then an adhesion promoter used the same way.

I got mine from Josh at RPI designs in Ohio and they've been on for about 18 months now - - look great.
