Hahah! Well the Sonata isn't much to look at. But that explains it, I spend 90% of my time at UAMS with the occasional trip to Best Buy off Bowman. Have you ever been to the autocross meets at War Memorial?

That explains alot! You have to have surgeon's hands to put those on so perfect!

I started to put gills on myself, but then realized I will never be able to get them the way I want them. You my friend have skill!

Don't you love the color combination!

SummoneR · 02-21-2010, 07:48 PM

Thanks for the close ups. Looks good, my car is ABM I think it might be better at hiding the cracks than say yellow silver or white. not as well as CGM though. THanks again for the pictures.

I have done gills, hood spears and mail slot in vinyl, but I may have my buddy help with this he has done tons of vinyl.

Thanks again.

These are flat black and are very forgiving of any gaps/mistakes on the cyber gray metallic. This comes as a taped stripe so there is a piece of tape on the back (adhesive side) and one on the front (on top) of the stripe. I removed to top layer and just handled the stripe itself. It made it easier to see how the fit was. I put the large piece on first and then the 4 small pieces which worked fine. I thought it would easier to make the small stripes fit the big ones than vice versa.

In this picture it looks like there is a gap where they meet but it is actually just reflection.

That kit looks perfectly installed on your ride! If you ask me, that looks better than some paint jobs that I've seen trying to pull off that look.

Absolutely perfect!... And I ordered that front fascia piece like you did too. Big question is, how will this look on the IOM as this is probally one of the worst for not being forgiving.

Definitely going to be using your car so I can photoshop those blackout pieces on mine.

I want the same thing for the front and back, and I ordered an IOM too. I only want to get it if it lines up perfectly so you cannot see the orange at all.

To the OP: Are there any gaps at all?

No Gaps at all and it is really hard to see the seams. To get that you have to shift the 4 pieces just slightly which makes the very thin portion of those pieces not want to line up perfectly - I ended up trimming those just slightly and using a blow drying to work with the vinyl letting it stretch just slightly.

I have to say that I really was impressed with how well the kit worked. I took my time and got the large piece exactly where I wanted it and then fit in the smaller ones.

I understand not wanting a gap - I'm a perfectionist and I would have torn it off if it didn't look right.

IOM will be less forgiving but I think you can get it in place. I think it will look incredible on the IOM. Just gorgeous - the contrast will be striking!

I would just have it done by a shop. I am not good at DIY stuff.
