Did you replace the front arrowhead too? If so, how does it come off?
Those, both front and rear are the stock arrowheads with inserts or more accurately, stickers that cover over the red plastic piece inside. They make them in a bunch of colors, even reflective. They are $5 each and a bit tricky to put on so i bought 2 of each, just in case.
They are from Grafxwerks.com

If you take the front emblem off it will leave 2 holes, it isn't a stick on.

:woohoo:
I had overlays like that on my G6. They look great.
One tip when applying them - use soapy water. This will let you move the overlay around on the arrowhead, until you get it lined up right. Once the water dries it will still stick.

I bought a red car so I would have the arrowheads match!
Thanks for the headsup. I hope the orange matches the IOM.

I just ordered a few of these. Any further tips on applying them? I only bought one of each and don't want to fux up......
Clean, clean, clean. A speck of dirt under one can really show.

Just picked up the arrows for the front and back. I applied after a good cleaning and left some soapy water on there to make sure it was lined up properly. I'll post some pix in a bit.
I just got and installed the arrowheads for my wheel center caps. They still need to dry and settle down but look good already. Here is a photo:

I also noticed that the arrowhead would almost fit the steering wheel cap so I tried one. It is not bad but i think if I took another and trimmed it slightly and outlined the center star with a black sharpie before putting it on it will look pretty good.

just got mine in the mail. so seriously, soapy water will not keep it from sticking when it finally dries?
I'll let you know a bit later when I check to see how well they are stuck.

The soapy water allows you to re-position the decal until you get it in the perfect position. You don't need a lot of soap, you just need a little to make it slippery.
Also, I'm working with them to tweak the size to allow a better fit on the steering wheel arrow head overlay. The wheel centercap overlay is close but a little large for the steering wheel. When I get some reduced samples, I'll post some photos.
Now that I've done a few they are pretty easy to do if you are careful. I suggest buying a spare so you have one for practice.

Are these stickers or decals (peel off backing or soak in water to get off backing)? Stickers I think but not totally sure...
Stickers. A little soapy water and careful alignment followed by a little blotting, checking alignment and a little hair dryer. As they start to dry you can press them down more with a soft cloth but be careful to not mess up the alignment.

Thanks. Concerned about doing them, never been good getting shit like this on without bubbles.
Put on my orange ones over the weekend. Not sure if I like them yet. I'll grab some pics and post them up soon.

I don't recommend using soap - water is fine (for non-reflective) and will give you the same repositioning opportunity. Soap can be bad news - too much and you're toast.

Thanks for the tip. Water it is!

Thats looks great, Im going to have get some of those. I also painted those red reflectors.
Grafxwerks as has a set of reflector overlays. I have a set of smoked ones on the way and will post photos once they come.
really? I didnt see those on the site. I need to grab some.
They are working on a bunch of new items. I thought they listed the reflector covers. Could be my bad. They have some new items listed but do not have photos yet. I have a set on the way to me to evaluate. I'll post when i get them.
They are listed on their home page:
http://www.grafxwerks.com/
I'm excited about some of the other items to come soon. Stay tuned!

I wish... the economy tells me stickers. Next time I have some cash (after performance) I'll be heading your way. no doubt.

How much drying time do these things need if water is used? temp= low 70s.

Maybe 15mins, and then dont wash the car for a couple of days.

Well, as I pretty much expected based on previous sticker work, this ain't happening for me. I tore the back arrowhead, couldn't get it straight and water does not allow movement or removal, the glue is good and if you hose it up you're done. You guys must have steadier hands and better luck than me. I'll go with the Third Shaft version someday.
No biggie, wasn't sure I'd like the look anyway :)
