I just got the trim pieces from Sport Trucks by Ed on eBay. We got the center of the wheel stickers and the door and tailgate sill inserts. I didn't get a picture of the wheels yet and the wife has the truck today.
It takes a little patience to get them lined up in the indentations, but I think it adds a nice, subtle touch.
Is this a thin vinyl or domed? I had trouble lining up thin stickers( which was bought at e-bay) and ruined them.
Domed decal seems to be the best from all the threads read. Who can tell me how to get them?
I did not get the domed type and also had trouble lining them up, but took my time and used a pair of tweezers, actually two pair, to manipulate them into position. I used the round end of paintbrush to push them into place. I wrapped terry cloth over the brush handle to prevent damaging the vinyl too and that worked nicely. They were pretty inexpensive so I would just order another set and try again.
I got the domed decals on ebay. Had the flat ones first and couldn't get them to line up right. A real pain. The domed ones look better and are much easier to install.

You can get both on Ebay. I bought the flat door sill stickers from sptrucksbyed as well as the wheel hub bowtie stickers and had no problems. I cannot justify the added cost of the domed stickers. $45 vs. $5.99.
Kinda like the difference between zircons and diamonds - you get what you pay for. Liked the domed ones enough that I ordered the hood emblem domed decals in yellow - should have them next week, and will forward a photo. The sill and tailgate ones are exceptionally well done - the red R glows in the sun - great finishing touch, and they fit the outlines much better than the flat decals.
One bit of advice - each letter is separate, which makes them fairly easy to work with. If you peel the backing halfway and fold it back, it makes a nice handle to control where it drops in. Works great.
I was offered the domed decals for the front grill, but since I didn't see a picture of them I didn't get them. When you get them be sure and post a picture of them on the truck then I can decide.
Tacky Slacky, we all have different tastes folks. I was hoping the decals for "under the hood" meant for the heat shield. I hope they have them for that, but I doubt they can create a substance that sticks to that material, other than velcro and it also has to withstand the heat under the hood. I think I may just end up putting frisket paper on it and airbrushing it myself with some of the materials I have in my studio. I personally like all the variety coming out of the woodwork for customization. I don't subscribe to a lot of it, but it is interesting. All part of the creative process. We all seek to have something a bit different, which is why I bought my SSR in the first place. I want to preserve the incredibly beautiful styling yet make it unique to my own tastes and whimsical ideas without destroying the flow and beauty of the SSR's unique attributes. :seeya

Hi All
I am Back after moving from AZ back to GA and sealing my 2015 Vette and my 2018 Z06 Vette the wife and I was trying to find a nice low mileage 2005 or 2006 SSR so after looking for a month I was about to give up and just order a 2020 C8; up popped on carGurus a nice Low mileage Silver...
I was wondering which stare has the most SSRs? I would imagine it would be one of the southern states. Florida would be my first guess or could it be Texas or California. Does anyone know? Arizona could also be in the top of the list.

I know a lot of people look for parts and help either locally or on the road and like to know who is where...
Got our genuine embroidered dash pad from Dicktator installed today.
Top quality embroidery work, these are the good ones, not the thin swap meet stuff!.....Fits great, looks great!
Thanks Dick
Don and Anne J
Upon removal of the dash, I noticed several 7mm headed screws with washers were missing. Does anyone know the part number for these screws? Thanks and Regards. Bruce G.
