Mine are slightly peeling up at the corners. I didn't notice it when purchasing the car but after cleaning and waxing it I noticed. I have under 800 miles on the car so it's not like I have much wear and tear.

I received 2 sets from ridergraphix.com, one in "gunmetal" and the other in the standard "cardinal red" because they couldn't make a single set with 2 colors. I first got a sample color chart so I could match the hood graphic colors as best as possible. The colors are a really close match. The gray is a "custom" color so there was an extra charge for it. It was a toss up between two reds that were each so close I couldn't decide. Brian (the owner) told be the one choice was the standard red that they use and wouldn't require an extra charge so I chose that one. The color codes are:
Gunmetal - SC7708M and Cardinal Red - SC9340O

I will probably be putting them on sometime next week. I will post pictures when I'm done...

Just got my engine brace back...with signature! John Hennessey was kind enough to sign the engine brace just in time for C5 FestIII! I reinstalled it today, but this pic is just after clear coating.

Anyways AAC has some ABL lighting that matches pretty good to that aqua blue color. Heres the link: http://www.automotivelightstore.com/abl.aspx
The AAC ABL lights are an excellent match for the stock ABL color. I just replaced the dome light a few days ago (about 90 second install) and am going to do the footwells in the next few weeks. Will post pics when all done.

Ok. Changed my mind. The colors didn't match as much as I would have liked. I should have went with the "Fire Red" which is just a tad darker and would have been an even closer match. The gunmetal color was a little lighter than the hood but I liked both hashes in red better. I may redo them at a later time but they still look pretty good (not sure about the hood badges just yet, have them scotch taped on to see if I want them...):
