I would hope it does, otherwise you can't make it red. :confused:

Spray over the top, use 600 to get it ready.

i dont see anywhere on that site for 240's and how do you contact him about ordering the overlays once you find what you acutally want?....also what stores sell overlays like that for universal stuff if you just wanted to cut off the extra film instead of waiting for a custom overlay?

it's a very complicated process involving a hammer and a chainsaw.

Seems like "overlays" is a new term for decals/stickers..so it doesn't sound ricey.

No one would probably buy them if they were called "head light stickers", or headlight vinyl...

Yes it IS a Toyota, but then again it IS a Pontiac.. I guess he couldn't fork out the extra grand for a Matrix, so labeled his Vibe TRD. :keke:

The irony there is that Toyota doesn't sell the NUMMI-built Matrix in Japan, but they do sell the Vibe (badged as the Toyota Voltz). So, the TRD sticker works :D.

[email protected] meant he prefers amber over red, as do I.

They could have some TRD parts installed on the car, making the sticker correct, if a little silly.
