I have a couple questions for those that have ordered them because the website doesn't make it very clear. Is $15 the price for two of the selection I make or just one? Also, are these like most other decals where the text is just the decal, or it it the sticker style where it's text with transparency between it? Also, has there been any signs of other's wearing off?

Also color recommendations. My fit is black and I'm debating over making the style of my car black on black (black everything) or doing black with red accenting. So should I get a white decal or red?

Thanks,
Indie

it is $15 for two of them, it is just the text and if you are going with a black and red theme i would go with red.

Thanks DD. If I decide to go black/black I'll get the white and if I go black/red I'll get the red. If there anyway you could take a pic of the red vinyl sheet against a black background? I know sometimes the reds can be a touch dark and hard to notice against black.

Thanks,
Indie

No worries Indie!
DecalDude's decals are high quality and I've had mine on for around.... 6 months and they are still looking sharp! No sign of tear or wear...
Also, I'm with Decaldude on the color matching... I vote for black/red cuz it just looks better!!!! black/white is too plain for me.... if your car is white then it's a different story....

Yea I think I'm doing black/red on the outside and then black/blue on the inside. I think blue makes a better accent color when it comes to lighting, which will be where most the color on the inside comes from.

all my decals are made from either Oracal or 3M vinyls which an internet search will show you are the top manufacturers and the best quality.

but as i said it is your choice

Cleared argument that got off-topic:
- "$15 is way overpriced"
vs
- quality and reputation

Consult DecalDude and/or theindiearmy if you are interested in the minutiae of this issue.

I really like those decals but I hesitate on the color that I should get. My 2011 Fit is Vortex Blue Pearl. Any suggestion?

Dark gray or silver would look really nice especially if you have stock rims

Thanks for the suggestions. Is silver reflective? Do you have by chance color samples on your website? Thanks again!

Personally, I think black or white decal would nice on your car. As you can see, Java's decal looks good with his white wheels. Black decals would go nicely with black rims....

Thanks man, I do love it, it pops quite nicely and looks really sharp. I prob would have gotten a matte black if i did black rims so that there would be enough contrast or maybe a cf texture.

Black gloss on this color fit might not pop that much, unless u dont want it to pop, in which case u might reconsider getting these at all haha.

Right now I have cf texture and, no offence DD, you really can't tell if its cf or just black in color unless you look close enough. But I just luv the fact that it is cf!
