TL-S Front bumper lettering

I just got these letters in the mail and installed them. I like how they stand out, black against the WDP. The letters are not flat but are very thick and are held on by 3M backing. Perfect fit.

I got similar ones [faux CF]
The black looks nice on the WDP. Did you get them from domeddecals?
Or did you get them elsewhere---if elsewhere, do they have them in white? I'm looking for a set in white for future plans.

I'm on the fence about this mod. It adds a nice touch to the front end but i dunno...

Looks like you need to redo the R.

I too have gotten them from veneerzstore. The quality is alot better, then domed decals on Ebay. I have had both. The domed decal doesnt fit the inlay perfectly because it is too small.

Nice lead on Veneerzstore. They sell full kits...in just about anything/any color you want! WOW. Check out those interior kits...those have quite a few possibilities!

While you kind of showcased already covered and recovered mod....what you did point out and display is that these are a bit nicer than the ebay domed decal ones...and the interior kits available are crazy. Cool!

Does anyone have pictures of the kit from Veneerzstore?

^ the only thing is they don't have pictures of the kits so it's hard to imagine what something would look like. They have dark blue carbon fiber kit for something I forgot for what. Now how can you know if that looks good or not

Wait a sec...

Rocky, I'm with you. I wouldn't mind seeing the brushed aluminum. I can't decide whether to do the Carbon Fiber or the brushed aluminum on a Silver Metallic Type S.

I'm more interested in the kit for the 2 compartments, shift knob plate and the 4 trim for the door panels to mask the fake wood. Anyone bought them?

On the website they do have examples but not pics on cars. To see the colors, click on "Colors":

http://www.veneerzstore.com/store/p/...ts-5-Pcs-.html

Then click on the color boxes and it will bring up the color list. At this point you can click on each color to see a close up view.

You think the flat black is the best option on a WDP TL S?

The instructions that comes with the lettering is actually for the dash kits. Applies to both. Any way the instructions are very good. Nice step by step and in color to boot. It has you lining everthing up first before peeling and sticking the pieces in place. Just have to clean everything really well with alcohol, let dry, line up, peel and stick. Just be patient. Yes, they are just overlays, not a replacement.

OK...I took the plunge too. I ordered the Carbon Fiber lettering this afternoon. It came to $25.77 (30% more for the carbon fiber). Just don't tell my girlfriend. I'm not supposed to be buying anything for myself-so close to the holidays.

I like the flat black for sure! It looks real good! I just didnt know if carbon fiber or a different flat color would look good or not.

What you think?
