Something Wrong with my Stickers?

I bout a pair of "SOHC VTEC" stickers off of EBAY. I just recieved them today. The thing is that one of them reads "SOHC VTEC" and the other is reversed, it says "VTEC SOHC." Is this normal?

Yea that's messed up! The one that says "SOHC VTEC" is probably worth 25 hp or more but who know's how much of a gain you'll have with the other one! :P

To be honest, I REALLY hestitated to put them on!

Stickers aren't my style. I promised myself that I would put them on for a few weeks, then take them off if I didn't like them.

Then, I took my car to the dealer to have my car re-coated in teflon, and forgot about the stickers. Now, they're on there permanently!

I don't know what color they are. They look less bright in person.

I am definatly an anti-rice type person and I don't really consider putting SOHC VTEC stickers on my car rice. Maybe I would consider it rice if they were purple or red but they're not, they are black.

Teflon was a dealer applied option that guarantees no waxing/paint damage for the length of the contract. I chose 3 years. So, every 6 months, they apply a new coating.

The cost was $350, but I got it for free (as an incentive to buy the car--along with undercoating protection and a 3 yr/36K bumper-to-bumper warranty).

I've never waxed my car since I've owned it!

Damn Rick i didn't know that they "guarantees no waxing/paint damage for the length of the contract. I chose 3 years. So, every 6 months, they apply a new coating." That's awesome! I looked into it around here and called the largest "big money" car dealer in the area, and they have never heard ofteflon spraying. I would love to get it done though. No wax ever again!

I got it through Rosenthal Acura in Gaithersburg, MD.

A friend of mine just bought a Chevy truck and had it applied (5 year contract).

All I do is wash and dry! Comes out looking like I put several coats of Zaino!!!!

Best $$$ I never spent!
