Wrong. I have installed several sets without removing the needles.

Not sure, I'd guess you could but I'm thinking you didn't clean the mounting surface well enough when you installed them; I've never seen a set shift position... Shoot an email to the company you bought them from and they should know the answer.

Well, i bought it from macewen directly. a couple of days after it was installed, it was super hot out, and it might have softened up and drooped, i dont know. i guess all i can do is try.

i'll save you the trouble of trying to get ahold of that guy, there are two different versions of macewen overlays. the older version of his overlays have tabs on the side that are used to stick the overlays on. those type of overlays are known for the exact problem that has occured to you, they eventually shift (hence why there's a new kind). the newer style uses strips of adhesive (like double-stick tape) on the back of each overlay to stick them on. he told me that with this adhesive (not only does it stick better), but you can readjust the overlays as many times as you want. when i installed them i was able to do just that, to get them perfect. so if you have the newer style overlays then you should be able to take them off and stick them back on. although you need to be careful and do it very slowly or you might crease the overlays. with the older style, i'd just clean up the tabs, and put some double-stick molding tape on them and slap them back in.

No I don't sell any decals. You'll have to go w/ a local decal shop or find it on the internet.

When you place your order, select "Silver" from the drop down menu on the right: http://store.specializedstainless.co...1&sfs=b0baad79

It will be about a month or two, but I'll make a post when they're in stock.

The overlay comes in 3 pieces so you can slide two needles through at a time. Then the Trans Am bezel covers the edges of the overlay.

Thank you
