Nice. So what's the trick to getting the lettering to stick?

Will do.

 

[TurboTGuy]

these are the ones i make

Is yours officially licensed by GM?

Just asking, because they WILL come after you if they are not.

 

[Kellysgn]

no , but have that covered

 

[TurboTGuy]

no , but have that covered

With big money litigators on retainer like GM? Jus' sayin'............

Good luck to you.

I have a Hoodskins product on my car and I LOVE it.

 

[Kellysgn]

good point

 

[TurboTGuy]

good point

Not trying to piss on your parade, just letting you know they are VERY protective of the Buick V6 and Turbo 6 logo.

Kellysgn, the hood pad I purchased from Castle came in a GM box? He told me that these were a GM licensed product?

I have my original 9 hole hood liner sitting in a box its still in decent shape little peeling some of turbo six missing, was thinking of taking it to a sign printing/ silk screening place to see what they say . put one of those ebay ones(395$) on for now fit great looks great but already peeling not even a year old be careful one of the eBay ones is poorly done the turbo 6 symbol isn't uniform looks like some one did it by hand

Yeah, the one I bought is doing the same thing. The pad quality and fit is excellent, aside from the lettering not sticking.

Would a couple of light passes with a heat gun and a lightly damp (or not) terry cloth hand towel on top help, maybe? Getting a bit closer with each pass and pressing down on the decal a bit, being really careful, maybe even using parchment paper (like bakers do) between the layers? Maybe even using a steam iron on low/medium on top of some type of insulator to press it down?

Just spit-balling here, guys.

Simply brilliant. Thanks TurboTGuy

 

[grass doctor]

thought about trying some clear nail polish

 

[johnnycasx]

Looking for one, where the best place to buy one? (Either the hoodskinz or OEM one)

 

[T What?]

Is hoodskinz still in operation?

 

[Hahny]

I don't believe so, but maybe one of our moderators can confirm.

 

[TurboTGuy]

Their stuff is the coolest, if they are.

Very nice guys.........
