Review
So I just finished installing the vinyl chrome letters on the rear bumper and I do not think they will last very long. These letters seem to be the same size as the indent in the bumper and no matter how I position them they do not fit good. I did however pick up some trim and installed it along the top of the rear fascia and I like it very much.

I picked up another set of the domed vinyl letters for the dash and they look pretty good. They were however a pain in my *** to install just like they were on the rear bumper cover, I do not have the patience for these flimsy wanting to move every way except the correct way. If in the future I needed to put another set on the bumper I would definitely go with a hard plastic chrome or stainless. I did very much like the chrome trim on the rear valance though, $16 for a 1/2" roll at advance and I did the valance the tail lights and have enough left over to do another valance........now where did I put that Camaro............................:thumb s:

The mineral spirits does nothing to the original paint, as long as you wipe it off right away. Add a couple coats of wax over the area, and you're done!
