    So i am finally ready to get a Pontiac overlay decal and i need everyone's help. The only thoughts i have so far are reflective white or silver ( i heard something about reflective dome too) Show me what you got or give me some guidance on this please (exhaust tips are being changed soon too)

    I deleted the pics because they were pretty bad. I have decided to go in a different route.

    This..


    But orange would look good or what about lime green? Be different then the typical black/silver/red/blue that you always see.

    Mine are painted silvermist to match the car. Just another idea. I tried reflective silver and it was to light. It was almost white in color. I didn't like it.

    Thats a winner right there. I was just thinking about painting mine to match the car. Yours is exactly how i want mine to look. I think mine would look best with those tails too. Are those just the LED ones from ebay? Darkangel (yes they DO look that great in person lol , i didnt do the final step of polishing them up yet. i don't really care to though. Too ghetto for me) Was it tough to paint in the inlay area? did you have to mask anything off or just use a small q tip or brush?

    You can buy the inlays from Reflective Concepts, super easy to put on, 5 min laying on the ground. That's what I did.

    Tails are from ebay (although they're not as easy to find as they were before), if you'd like them a bit darker get the Smoked Red instead of Clear Red.

    Thank you, i just spent today messing with galaxy silver touch up paint to paint the PONTIAC part, **** that ( I had to restart with primer, then 3 coats of gloss and 5 coats of clear now for a fresh start. I will be ordering the Clear/Red Led tails and most likely the reflective white inlays. DONE
