Zimm,

I ordered these from RPI designs and they look awesome. They already come pre-cut and they are a piece of cake to apply too. Spray bottle with a bit of soapy water and squeeze the excess water off........and presto, done in 10 minutes.

Here is the link: http://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=3165


The look especially good on our Arctic White. Tones down the markers considerably.

Here's a pic:

GQ,

I got the standard (vinyl) ones. Very pleased with them. Perfectly cut and match up with no trimming required

Oh wondering what the acrylic looks like.. if it is thick might stick forward.

I wondered the same thing which is why I went with the vinyl ones. The markers are already flush with the body panels and I didn't want to take the chance on acrylic......

Sorry, didn't mean to highjack the thread!!

the acrylics do indeed stick up and look bad, the vinyl is nice and flush and work well - from rpidesigns.com:
