Where did you get these? i've been interested in them, but haven't found them. I've also heard that they seem to stick out making it look "embossed." I will be interested to see the pictures. Sorry I can't give input.

i have those. if they are from importtronics, they are real good quality. it will stick out later, but it's nothing too bad. the fit is also good; he corrected them after i got the first set as it was pretty ****ty. it should be much better now

If you get a pair make sure they are good quality like mentioned above.

A friend of mine got a so-so pair off Ebay, and not only did they stick out to the point where they looked tacked on, he actually had one fly off on the freeway due to cheap adhesive. Quality products are always the best bet.

I have them too on my car right now, but does not do too well in extreme heats. This is my second set on my car and they are slowly coming off again.

I agree, that was why I sent OEM mirror covers, inside door handles and the inside trim to have it covered in carbon fiber, instead of using that stick on type. I learned my lesson.

Yeah the sticky two sided tapes, even the good 3-M stuff, can have issues with high heat disolving or weakening the bond.
