What's everyone doing for vinyl lettering on the grill?

I saw these carbon fiber ones on ebay the other day and thought about getting some. Has anyone had any problems with them peeling off? Like at a car wash (pressure washer) or just intense heat from being outside in the summer? I know you have to be careful with the pressure washer but just curious as to well it sticks.

The ebay ones are 3M vinyl. You should hit them with a heat gun after you install and never use high pressure on it. I wrapped my whole truck and you shouldn't do high pressure on that either.

Heat will not affect it, basically to set the vinyl you should use a heat gun and get the temp up to 190 degrees to make sure it sets.

Thanks for the info!

I've hit mine with high pressure and had no issues. Mine are the Ebay ones as well. I wouldn't sit there and hold a high pressure sprayer on them, but a pass over them should be fine.

Anyone have another vendor for these? The eBay seller listed is sold out. Searched around and no dice. Thanks

I will PM you with the person on Ebay I have used several times for these and hopefully it is not the same one you are getting the sold out from. Thx

For those who ordered these from Ebay via DEVRIESSIGNS, check your letters closely before you apply!!

Just got mine in the mail today, and the D is cut poorly. Wife was actually in the Vinyl industry for 11 years and as soon as she saw it she knew if was from a dull plotter cutter. I took some pics and emailed him. At $8 a letter, they should be perfect!

So be sure to check the outer and inter edges of your letters before you install them.
