I am sure that this can be re-applied if you buy 3m tape.

GB will be announced soon

We will also offer these in 4 button

For those of you that dont want the bezel trim I am sure that people on the boards would have no problem buying it.

The price to get a full replacements(oem look) instead of stickers is probably a little less than double mayb 70% more than the sticker's price. Now is it worth the extra money, I would say yes but it depends on the person who's buying. Plus you can have a choice of 15-20 different styles with the replacements and can add the design to any piece you like on the car.

As far as quality i'm not sure you can really compare stickers to full oem reprints, its apples to oranges where the apples will cost more and the oranges might peel. Until we can have someone without a bias opinion check both we will never know 100%..I think this is a great inexpensive way to get the blk wood look compared to the other ways of going about it.

I have had both the JDM Full replacement black wood on my car and have personally installed the overlays on my car and you can't tell the difference between the two! Great mod for the price IMO and very easy to install...no need to take off the door panels for the replacement parts.

So the door blackwooed replacement parts (NOT the stick-ons)....you dont have to take off the door panels to remove the burlwood? How do you take it off then? Just pull?

Was referring to the overlays. But when I changed to JDM black wood I had to take off the door panels. With the LM Trim theres no need to take off anything...just apply
