Default any problems with acrylic mirror from spinnerpremiumdesigns?

i am planning on buying some acrylic mirror products from spinnerpremiumdesigns and was wondering if anyone had any problems with their products yet. Does the acrylic mirror scratch easily? how does the adhesivness hold up? I want the chrome look but dont know if i want to go with the acrylic mirror or just chrome decals.

I have their rear fill-ins, been very happy with them.
Been on the car for 8 months, no scratches, no loosening, no problems.

I've had some problems. Ordered 3 sets of "SS" emblems and 2 of the letters have fallen off. I do know how to install emblems correctly so it wasn't prep work. Don't know what kind of adhesive tape they're using but not good luck with them.

Acrylic sounds like a nice term, but what he should really call them is plastic. Give this stuff some time and it can fall off your car (there are many reports on this happening), and it will eventually start to deteriorate due to weather. I can't stress enough that people are willing to spend thousands of dollars on their cars, and skimp with stuff like this. Buy good material - stainless steel.
