My girlfriend got me a set back in november. I worried about them going through the winter with the salt and sand on the roads but they still look as good as they did when I put them on and they are still on there well.

yes...they are quality products....once they are on...they stay on....when u go to wash ur car.....you can rub it just as hard as u would on ur paint...the adhesive is pretty tough to get off....they stayed on thru the winter...and i put them on in the winter when its recomended to be put on during the warm season.....


my girlfriend has them and we forgot to dip them in the water/soap solution...and guess wat...they are still on there.....i got them both from MT

Shambles (MT's Customer Service) should hook u up if ur nice to him...hahaha

Did you get the inserts? or just the lettering decals? The inserts are raised up. The letterings are just flat decals. inserts cost more and I have not put those on. The decals come in different applications. Some are 3m type peel off and stick on. Others are use the soapy solution to apply. I bought some chrome peel off one's and they were pretty good. Not a perfect fit, but looked good for 10 bucks, The vinyl kind (soapy apply) were difficult to get the backing off on tended to peel away after awhile, E-bay has all kinds for every make of car..

Dont forget to use water/soap, makes it MUCH easier to install. Mine have been on for almost 2 years and still look brand new.

I have the black reflective bumper insert and they are peeling off after 2 1/2 months. Either two things happened. 1. The insert I had just don't hold up very well. 2. I used a little too much soap when installing them.

Although, they were fine for a month so....hmmmm. Anyway, I'll probably just go on ebay and get another insert.

well i know your not supposed to use too much soap a spray bottle with about 1 to 2 drops of soap should do it. not sure about reflective vinyl but you never know!

Yeah, I talked to Shambles about it and he hasn't heard of any "issues" with the inserts so it was more than likely my error. No big deal....I'll just use more caution next time
