I think they look cool and "old school".

Thanks to member Bob McLean who sold me a spare set he had.

Bro...... what? Why did you not install the letters to follow the curvature of the tire?

That's the curve they came as. Believe me, I centered them the best I could.

It's a start.

Coming from a guy who is a little OCD I will say this. You need to install them on the top and bottom of the tire so there is symmetry. Just having the one sticker looks incomplete. Part of the effect of the tire sticker is how they look when the wheels are rolling, and that comes from having the sticker on both sides of the tire. If you are going to do it, do it all the way.

Bob only had the four. I was going to buy a set of 8, but that was way expensive. We'll see. But, I like it. I admit the curvature doesn't match perfectly, but the other set is installed on another Gt350.

The set that I bought had a slight curvature, and separated into 2 pieces so you could best follow the tire. Did your set come in one part only?

Buy once cry once, you have a 60k car.

You could have just done one or two letters at a time...I'm just sayin! :gossip:

It was laid out on transparent paper. The letters could separate, but to try that would likely end up in disaster. But there is a curvature.

If I had a week to try that, I might have. I doubt I could have done it perfectly.

Holy shit, you guys are harsh.

It looks absolutely awesome on our cars(IMO), and this is the first time I've seen it glued on almost straight across.

I also don't think I'd be able to do letter by letter, that'd be insanely time consuming. I ended up just installing it right over the Michelin wording on the tire to help get the curve right.

Not trying to be harsh or hateful but you have a very nice looking car and most here are extremely OCD albeit helpful.

Good thing is even though a pain in the ass to remove not permanent when your OCD also wins over! :cheers:

There is a curvature, and I did notice it's a slightly wider curve than the tire, but I was committed and pressed ahead. I still like it, but not sure why it doesn't match the curve exactly.:shrug:
