Sweet... that's kind of what I was thinking, but I was worried about cutting/scratching the actual bowtie itself by accident... did you have any problems with that? Or is there a little groove in between the "edges" to make it easy to follow? I can't go look cuz my car is still in the shop :( boooooooo...

Also do you have any fear that the vinyl will come off? Or does it seem pretty good?

I'm really considering ordering some of this... I like it a lot! I just have to decide on the color now, haha... Your silver one looks darker than the silver picture on that website... I didn't think I was gonna like it, but yours definitely looks much better than the pic! My ideal color would be like Indpowr's door panels... On the website, the "gray carbon fiber" looks close... I was considering the black, but it just doesn't look right in the pic for some reason... ahhhh I dunno!

Anyway, thanks for the info! It really looks awesome
