Default Fourth Circle Designs??

Does anybody know anything about this place. I just bought some SS "badges" from them and Im starting to think they may not be what I want. If they are just stickers Im gonna be pissed. Has anybody ever bought SSdecals from them?? If so, how do you like em and how do they compare to the origional ones? Thanks!!

I know them well, Shawn Ellis(Evilface) is excellent to deal with. Very reputable and great service. I am 99.9% sure what you ordered is overlays and not actual emblems though.

I have been very pleased with everything I have bought from Shawn in the past as is everyone else I know of.

Fourthcircle is the best IMO, great quality, great prices and UNBELIEVABLE customer service. Shawn really cares about his customers and it shows.

So if they are overlays, how do they go on? Do they just stick over the origional ones. Im kinda confused because I dont want take off my origional badges and make it look like I just slapped some stickers on my car. That would look horrible. Does anybody have pics of these fourthcircledesigns badges on thier car? Im kinda worried now.

Again, they are not badges/emblems, they are thin pieces of vinyl with a sticky backing.....They will lay over your factory emblems...just use a soapy water solution on the back side of the vinyl, so u can slide it around easily, until u get them aligned perfect......you should be happy with them, what color did u order??

in the advertised pictures those vinyls are not layed on the stock badges, if you compare my pictures to those, its impossible. and if they are, then i got a bad batch or soemthing cause anyone can see how horrid mine look.

Thanks for the words guys.

Phantom, those are not overlays for stock SS emblems, they are ment to be used in place of the stock SS emblems. So you can have a different color combination than factory. Sorry you thought they were different. Send me a email I'll get something that will work for what you were wanting.

I have had nothing but good things come from fourth circle designs. I have ordered many brake decals, A/C acum decal, headlight "pontiac" decal, etc.... Good stuff.
Only thing that is bad is I get an email everytime I order something asking me what I ordered, saying they money went through but what I ordered didnt, hmm.

Thanks, if you really want to work on an overlay, that would be cool, but I don't want you to go through alot fo trouble. I'm not trying to bash your company, as the decals were great quality, I'm just saying, as an overlay, they don't work out to great. Great product to replace the stock badges.

I just ordered a set of chrome/reflective black, I think they are gonna look badass, when I ordered them I assumed they were meant to replace the factory badges, after looking at this thread it seems I was right, I got a little scared about the whole overlay thing. What is the best way to remove the factory badges, fishing string? And alcohol to get the gunk off? Thanks guys.

blow dryer, or heat gun....fishing string......and then use a diluted mixture or either alcohol, gasoline, or paint thinner to remove the leftover glue....just be sure to not leave the mixture on there long b4 rinsing thoroughly. if u heat up the glue enuff they should come off pretty easily.

fourth circle rocks.

imo, taking SS badges off and replacing them with stickers would look stupid. i'd remove the red or silver edge from the badge then apply the overlay. it would look correct then. my. $.02
