Sure, takes us about 15 minutes to install one. We can ship it out the same day we get it. Include a copy of your receipt so we know what color you had.

IS there anyway to paint the chrome around the black?

bigwormgraphix · 10-08-2009, 04:54 PM

I would check with a custom painter. There is additive that can be added to the paint that helps it to stick to chrome. Without that the paint would chip off.

Vinyl is about $25 for front and rear - Replacement bowties are $134.95 for front and rear.

I just got mine from ridergraphix. They didnt come with any instructions, so i assumed it was just peel and stick.

Rear one went on without a problem. Front one is currently sitting in my trash bin. It bubbled a little while i was sticking the first part on, and when i tried to peel it back a little, it ripped.

Now i've read that i should have done a wet install... would have been nice if those instructions came with the stickers. $30, youd think the added cost of a single sheet of 8.5x11 wouldn't have been too much to ask for.

Also, the packaging they came in almost ruined the decals right off the bat. the decals dont sick well enough to the paperboard, so when you peel the cover (which is also adhesive), the decals stick to it. it stretched out one of the inside corners the back decal, so it doesn't look 100% perfect.

Oh well. I think i will stick to paint when it comes time to put stripes on. I ordered gills from them as well... we'll see how that goes.

When did you order these from us? We have been sending instructions with every order. If you did not receive instructions, a simple email could have solved that.

As far as the packaging, the adhesive "Cover" you are describing is the transfer tape. You are not supposed to remove it until the decal is installed. It did exactly what it was supposed to do. It lifted the decal off the backing paper as designed.
