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

This idea is on another forum that I visit, and I think it is a great idea!

It's early here, so I haven't done anything to mine yet, but a top to bottom cleaning is needed on my R. I hope to get to that today. ;)
I currently have two SSR's where the stowage compartment panel Part #88980416 is broken. This part is where the top cylinders attach. I have two
Southern cars and this piece gets brittle and breaks in half or gets hairline cracks on it. . Part is unavailable from GM. Don't know of anybody...
SSR’s sustaining damage may have varying Title Designations:

SALVAGE/FLOOD Titles may be repaired, rebuilt or modified.
JUNK TITLE: I thought a JUNK VIN was never to resurface but we are seeing JUNK TITLES resurfacing as SALVAGE or REBUILT
