Got mine from ninosport and they are great. I messed up a couple of the letters and Brad sent me some extra one free.

Bobby, any more pics of yours? I'd like to see how the stripes look.
BTW, cool looking floor mats. Where'd you get them?

I can sell you mine? I changed my car color so I don't need blue.

man those were not that easy to install!
I saw that someone painted his. I think I should have done that. I may paint the stripes soon though.

What was so hard Kevin? I'd like to know what to expect if I decide to get them.

I kind of expected it to them to be attached where you peal the backing off and then the front off. I did not think I was going to have to peal the letters off individually and place them into their respective place.
It might just my unstable hands though as the letters kept sticking to themselves. I ruined quite a few, luckily I receive three of each letter.

I'm glad you posted your experience Kevin, because I had been thinking of buying the letters too. Now reading your report, I think I may just go the paint route. I've done some detail painting in the past so I should be ok. Thank you!

I tried painting them. Paint wouldn't take. Maybe the kind of paint I used, though...

I saw a post that somebody had used Testors model paint for the letters. What kind did you use?

I painted mine with Howard Hues Model paint, then I masked off the area and spray painted with enamal and then acrylic sealer. Works great and looks great too.

you are very welcome!
I probably will either paint over them or just peel them off and start from scratch with paint.

I was planning to paint mine using a bottle of factory touch up paint. Any reason that won't work?

I don't know much about paint, and didn't even think of using model paint. any thoughts would be appreciated.

Wow, that is devotion! Did it take you forever to mask off each letter? I was trying to figure out how to mask it without using 80 tiny pieces of masking tape. Also, did you just do the Mustang letters or did you do the stripes too? Thanks for any tips you can pass on before I tackle the project.

I don't see where that would be a problem. I would think though that a bottle of touch up paint is going to be more costly that using a similar product like model paint.

I did not mask the letters. Steady hand and a fine brush. I masked off the aluminum from the plastic for the enamal and acrylic.
