Alright!  Got the steering wheel emblem overlay off and cleaned up the adhesive.  Looks like new.  Waxed the front emblem from trying out the overlay.  Check.  The only thing not stock from factory on the exterior is the hub overlays.  They look great.  No mods to the interior other than my IPASS.  Clean slate.

You know what it's like to have your teeth hurt -- by light, air, breathing, cold, hot. I'm not talking about a tooth ache! I'm talking about straight bleach/peroxide gel soaking that is what they call "Teeth Whitening".

It's not so much fun, but damn if it ain't worth it! I'm on day 3 and I already see a HUGE difference -- coming from guy who smoked like freight train and had yellow teeth.

Geswek - sorry to hear your teeth hurt, but its encouraging that you like the whitening.
My teeth have hurt ever since 7th grade when I got braces. That experience has made me an anti-dentite for sure!  That first orthodontist really was a sadist - he would ask if my teeth hurt after the monthly tightening, and when I would say yes (he saw me white knuckling the chair)... He would always say "good."   I now use toothpaste with a sensitivity ingredient- it helps, and I do notice my teeth hurt if I miss a brushing. Maybe something like that could help you through the process?

DJE: I'm glad to hear your wheel is looking great, but also sorry to hear of the decal issues. I wonder how much it would cost to hire a college art student to paint the emblem and sneek it into the kiln at school?  Just a thought, and prolly way off, since I have no idea what kind of paint or process is needed.
I think I might just pony up and buy a new one for my SHO, since I haven't heard of any new emblems having the same problems.

OOH; I don't think they hurt THAT bad--but its enough to feel it.

Though it's worth it in the end my friend. To have pearly whites staring at me in mirror makes me happy.

My dome maker guy and I are thinking of maybe popping the emblem off and making a dome that will work now.  I'll have to take a look at that.

Be prepared for a power loss when you hit that 90 - 91 octane. Texas has weird octane.
