yes, they stuck on just fine. I mean it's only been a few days so the jury is out on whether they will stay on but I suspect they will. I didn't use anything else to help them adhere.

As far as the Lexus logo in my center caps...Those are Drag wheels and the original center cap has their logo on it. So I had someone make me some black metal discs which has 2-sided tape on the back - high quality, almost permanent 2-sided tape. Then I went to my local Lexus d'ship and they gave me a set of the logos. Peeled the backs off and stuck those badboys on the black disc and there you have it...I basically covered over the manufacturer's logo.

That stinks! I ordered mine and they arrived in the mail in about 5 days. I'm sorry to hear about that. And it sux that PayPal isn't helping you out! I think a few others have had success with them.

Hence I am using a brush. Slow but will need little or no masking and overspray is not an issue.

Be careful with spray paint. Those tiny airborne borne will be all over the place. Trust me I ruined my Acura that way. I painted a rusted ceiling fan inside the garage (it was winter) and guess what happened? The whole sheet ended up on my Ack. To this day, if you look carefully, tiny little dots of paint. Since it is metallic, can not tell. But I see it all the time. Hence my fear of spray paint.

Hope you're right. Once I saw yours and the info you provided I ordered right away! I believe it was under $10 total and you get something like 12 decals.

I was going to pull the trigger too. I have to have the decals. Painted without decals no good.

Hopefully yours come in darnot, I will order mine when it does.

What was the problem?

There's a couple of guys on fleabay selling these too. But Xenonmods has the best deal.

Also, might want to modify your SIG....add V10.1 LOL!

And I sincerely hope you do not get a "tart" feeling in your mouth with the stickers...LOL!
