Default Overlays....No, Not Guage Overlays!

I'm looking for overlays...I'll give an example, on my door it says, "Trans Am" in red, well the car is also red so it's not really seen, I'm looking for a black overlay to clear the confusion that its not a V6 . Now I found some stuff on PFYC.com but are Wayyyyy overpriced, any members on here making overlays?

also the rain guards are also on PFYC.com but I'm confused how the rainguards would mout if you have T-top....

If youre just looking for some random vinyl pieces something like ebay should have them....probably 5 bucks for a set. I feel like some sponsors on here make some, but the names escape me.

i just got silver ones from ws6store. great quality, i am really happy with them. i got the overlays for the door, replacements for the factory bird and firebird lettering between the taillights, and the inlays for the pontiac lettering on the back. you'll get what ya pay for when it comes to that stuff. cheap vinyl will fade and wear out a lot quicker.

hehe, there goes the link I sent everyone. Better take it down, non-sponsor. Lets give the sponsors their respect and keep the non-sponsors off of the actual posts. They pay a lot of money each month to keep this site moving smoothly. Not to preach, but I say pull the link down man.

Emblempros is a great company and I have a few products from them. If I could justify the price, I would use them for this. Eventually I may, but right now, I can't, so vinyl overlays are it for me.

+1...on the doors though, personally, I would take the old lettering off, depending on what you go with, as there is a difference with overlays & emblems. if you go with emblempros, i think it would look to thick, you can replace them with the new ones & they'll look stock...

yeah, they're a little high, especially when compared to the vinyls. Evne worse when you buy them and end up removing them, i feel ike i threw away that money.

personally , i like it best with NO emblems, or side moldings. thats what i recommend. to give you an idea- https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...lots-pics.html

To be fair here, we are not making stickers. We purposely avoid that stuff.
We make actual emblems with thickness to them/
Thanks, Roger

Last time I had my checkup. I was still sane.
