These decals doesn't look like they will look any good on the heater panel switches.
The after picture looks like they were refaced, and not with these decals.
Asked the seller this, and he assured me that the after picture was the product of these decals.

What do you think? too good to be true right?

Think they would hold up in use? Are they "stickers" or "decals" (I would think "decals" too flimsy)  :scratchchin:

I did it on my car over 2 years ago and they look great. They do not show any wear as of yet.

Can't be the same.  Let's take the "OFF" for example.  Look at the positioning of the word on the sticker itself on the top ones, and then look at how high the "off" is on the original/after picture.  No way that is the same exact set.  The "off" in the first picture would have to be up a bunch higher.

That's excactly what I was thinking, the seller must be lying. Besides, wrapping these decals around the buttons won't look good, and the words will be too far downwards compared to the original.

Yeah, Chris thinks he's better than everyone else  :nana:

Bought a set from Performance Car Graphics instead, the price wasn't half bad, worth a shot.

How come you have A/C and no A/C vent Chris?  :scope:

I think I talked to him about that once, his car is a A/C car but he doesn't like the A/C vent look, or hoses around the engine, so he removed them.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I thought it was cause the A/C didnt work.  Chris, care to shed some light on this?

My A/C don't work, but it's still nice to have these vents for hot and outside air!
Do non A/C car only have defrost vents and underdash vents? all new cars have vents in the dash...

resq302

Yup, non a/c cars got the heater vents that go out on either side in front of the console (or hump if you have a buddy seat) and the defrost vents in the dash by the windshield.  Non-air cars also got vent cables that worked the fresh air vent on the driver side by the parking brake pedal and the pass side by the kick panel.  Both were controlled by cables.
