If you guys actually look at a car and see the way the sheet metal is formed, you will see that our inserts fit exactly the way the metal is formed. These were CAD Designed on actual GM 3D Models of the body panels, and test fit on two cars personally by me.

It is an optical illusion on the photos. Print one of our photos of the decals here... http://www.ridergraphix.com/customer...o_Gallery.html

Take it to an actual car and you will see exactly what I mean.

This image might explain it better. it is the actual GM Sheet Metal file we used for the design. The top angle and bottom angle are not the same so maybe that is what is throwing you off.

Yup. I see what you are saying. Look great!

IMO closeup pictures on something like this would be a selling point especially when not view by your own eyes. At first look, they don't appear to align. No offense, just some constructive criticism. Picture says a thousand words!

We appreciate your inquiry! However the ony colors available for the Vent Enhancement decals ar Black, Silver, Gold or White. They are printed using thernal technology and these are the only colors available to us at this time.

We suggest Silver Fades on the Black Camaro.

Still waiting on Autoguy to answer my question on the charcoal color :(

I have not seen a CGM Camaro in person yet, but as soon as I do, I will check it out. From the Pictures I have seen, I think our dark charcoal is a couple shades darker than the CGM.

We will be able to make these in any color to match Our Side or Hood Stripes too.

Mine are ordered from AutoTrim. I like the way the fade looks alot better then the solid. It makes it look more like a real vent.

I've never had decals on any vehicle, how careful do you need to be when washing your car with these things on them?

If they are a quality product, you will have NO issues with washing the car. They are very durable.

We have sold Hundreds of Decal kits for other cars and have never heard of any issues while washing the cars.

The only thing you need to do is make sure you give them a good 24-48 hours to dry and do not hit them direct with a high pressure sprayer.

Take it to an actual car and you will see exactly what I mean.

This image might explain it better. it is the actual GM Sheet Metal file we used for the design. The top angle and bottom angle are not the same so maybe that is what is throwing you off.

I am in the printing business / Pre-press / High End Photo Retouching Studio, but we also do cad cut and vinyl lettering professionally in NY City. I know you guys use the template. When I cut mine I am going to Square the top right to the top edge, it will look better. Sometimes you need to go away from the original template to achieve the proper VISUAL PERSPECTIVE. If everyone is seeing the same thing, I think it is worth trying and seeing how it looks. It is a matter of moving ONE POINT in the EPS file. Takes about 3 seconds, but you need a car for test fits.

Have at it. We actually HAVE test fit these on the car and determined the way we have them is the best fit for the shape of the sheetmetal. I am curious to see what they look like installed.
