Do they sell several models or what? Vital5er´s looks just as good as mine, and they fit just right. I guess is all about how good you are with your hands. Did you follow the tutorial method? First time I installed it I wasn't 100% satisfy but then I watched the tutorial and tried again (they sent me 2 kits of sticker so I had a second chance) and I realized I was holding the sticker in the wrong way with my fingers.
Cheers!

I watched the video and did my best to get these on properly, following their instructions. As you can see, they look lousy. Even if I had installed these cheap stickers properly, they are glossy and should be black, and don't fit- they are too narrow and too short. Waste of money, and when I complained to this company, based in SPAIN, they told me to pound sand. I installed a supercharger in my 997 without any problems, so, frankly, stickers should be no problem. Move on from these guys.

Based on my experience, I say this: it's $100k car, get it fixed properly or leave it alone. This cheap fix makes the interior look worse than if it were simply worn.

Hi mate,
First post here, I found this link from a Pelican thread where I've been a member for ages.
I'm wondering if you'd be interested in selling your spare set of buttons?
It would allow me to keep the wife's 997 on the road as she uses it as her daily until the buttons arrive, rather than having to pull the AC and send it to Maryland and take her off the road until it returns.
Happy to pay for button replacement, cost of refinishing and all shipping costs to here, Brisbane Australia. Can pay you by Paypal or direct deposit, your choice.
Let me know if you're interested.
Kind Regards
Al Walker

I taped off my buttons with painters tape. Sanded them with a little strip of sand paper and hand painted them with flat black spray paint (spray the paint into the cap of the can and use that as a cup with a little brush). They look brand new except I don't have the symbols anymore. For me 15 minutes of patience and $5 worth of material was worth not having the little fan icon - no one but me knows anyway - everyone who sits in my car thinks they came that way. Are the little white marking that important?

I would have no clue how to ship something to Aus.
I have 125.00 in the purchase of the control box where the donor buttons were harvested from and 90.00 in refinishing cost FYI

Thanks for the replay mate,
I would imagine just use USPS parcel post as that's how previous items I have received from the states have been sent but I've spoken to Robbie at sticknomore and will probably just send mine to him as it will be significantly cheaper.
Thanks for your help regardless, it is very much appreciated.

I agree. I took the expensive route which netted and extra set. The goal was to have zero down time. Its hot in Florida during the summer to hot to be w/o a/c.
Good luck mate.
