Question trans am door decals question

Here's a simple question. I see many of these Trans am/Firebird door decals on Ebay and various other sources. Do these decals stick onto the extruded "Trans Am/Firebird" logo on the bottom portion of the doors? If they do, I'd like to buy them. However, I'm not sure if they're very durable. Does anyone know if they last a long time, or are difficult to apply? Are they a good fit? Thanks!

Yes, They do simple overlay onto the existing raised emblem (Trans Am, Firebird, Formula etc.)

Most vinyl is very durable (5 or more years in the weather) with the exception of chrome (which is more like 2 or more). I have had chrome vinyl on one my cars and it lasted pretty well for the price.

They are pretty easy to apply... just clean the area, dry it... use something like rubbing alcohol over the application spot to get any residues off and then just carefully stick them on one letter at a time.
