Trans Am Door Overlays Just wanted to know if anyojne has ever used put door overlays on their car from Phoenix Graphics. I got a set of red to put on my Black T/A. I thought I did everything correctly but I could not get them to stick to my door for nothing. I tried peeling them off individually and could not get them to stick. What brand is everyone using? Are these even any good. The decals ended up twisted, and I couldn't separate them from the covering. I threw them in the trash 
and now have to get some more. I really hate to spend another 39.50 for them if there is some you guys are using that aare easier to apply than these. Any suggestions?

I just bought whole new emblems. Was like $40 on eBay. So they weren't stickers to go over the stock ones, they were brand new Silver emblems for a silver Trans Am. I recommend going that route that dealing with stickers over the emblems already on your door.

Yeah I don't want stickers, but the emblems. I'll look at Ebay. Were the ones you got easy to apply?

That looks nice. I'm wanting to pull off my stockers & replace them with another set of actual emblems. I got a extra set I was planning on having done with a chrome plastic plating like some new car grills are done in.

Don't just wash the area, you gotta prep it. I always wipe the area down with some rubbing alcohol to remove any wax/polish that might be there. If there is any wax/polish on there it won't allow the adhesive to stick.

I just used my thumb to get most of the remaining old adhesive off the door. Peeled off the new and started putting them on. Here are some pics.
