Default Need some opinions on my CF wrap

So I cant decide if I like the CF wrapped arrow of center caps, please give some opinions. The front bird, sail panel triangles, and rear lettering are all the same pattern.

The "Pontiac" letters were a huge b*tch. We took painters tape and completely covered the writing, then took a pencil and shaped along the letters. Then took the tape and put in on the CF wrap and cut out the letters. Honestly it was a PITA, but it did turn out good.

The only CF inserts I have found look like crap or are the hydrocoated plastic letters. This seems to be a layer of CF on a decal paper.

All looks good, hit up ELMAPA818 on here and have him make you some decals. He just did mine for my SS and they match the factory one to the tee.

I love the center caps!

Not sure on the pillar bird, I think it should be lower.


I wish I had put mine lower.
