Default Vinyl Trans Am Emblems

THey have the stainless Steel ones (Which i want) and then they have the vinyl Emblems for the "P O N T I A C" letters in the back and the bird overlay in the front. They have them at a good price at WS6store.com I dont want to get the Stainless Steel ones just yet but i want something for the meantime. So my question is this:

If i get the vinyl Chrome inserts for the front bird, side Trans Am and back Pontiac is it going to look bad after a few washes of the car?

Do any of you guys have them? IF so how do you like them?

The reason i ask is because i would think that a Chrome Sticker would fade overtime but if it doesnt then ill get them.


Thanks in Advance!!

Yes, it will look bad. They were on my SOM WS6 when I got it and they looked like ****. Not that the chrome faded but the tips of the letters started to peel up after a few washes or polishes. I pulled them off and put on the stainless overlays and couldnt be happier with them. Its something to do with the material the chrome vinyl is made out of because I have black ones on my silver car and they are much thinner and don't have that problem. I have chrome vinyl "RAM AIR" letters on the hood and they do the same thing...so I actually change them every few months.

Like I said, I use to have them...and I hated them. Save your money and by the stainless ones (or silver vinyl.)
