Are badge overlays best professionally applied or can I do it myself?

DIY. I did the 05' SLE badges I got with a chrome overlay and it came out great, that is, if you are talking about buying ones pre-made and sticking them on. IIRC Nholds makes them? I might be remembering wrong...it's been a while...

you are right sir

and some find it easer to apply each letter seperately

Take your time, make sure everything is lined up and you should be fine. Be sure the surface you're applying them to is clean. I used isopropyl alcohol on mine. I've had mine on for about a year and a half, pressure washing and all. No peeling or any other problem.

I also got mine from NHolds. PM him here or visit his website:

or, go directly to the badge overlay section at:

I was told to cut each letter of "S" "S" "E" "i" and "SUPERCHARGED" separately and apply each one at a time. Worked great.

i guess i never really thought of doing one letter at a time...would make life a lot easier, although i got both of mine to line up pretty well.

Here is a picture of my car (gotta love gravel roads). I'm thinking chrome overlays would look good. I looked at the flaming decals website and there are no overlays specifically for impalas. I pm'ed NHolds this afternoon to see what he can do and am waiting for his reply.
