Did they outlast the tire?

Yes they did. I noticed the company changed up the instructions this time around to further improve the adhesiveness. Takes about 1 hour per tire. I must note that of all the things I have done to the car. This add on gets the most favorable comments by far.

Aren't they about $100 per tire though?

You are allowed 15 letters per tire. You must purchase 4 sets. I paid $120 CDN (roughly $90 US) If you are going to use 15 letters per tire I would recommend ordering a second glue bottle. The company is TREDWEAR based out of Nova Scotia.

That's not a bad price at all

I just run more air pressure on that side.

Did nothing to my 86, but I did get the mail.

Today my bucket came in a week early but I can't install it because my base and sliders haven't come yet.

Installed silver climate control knob covers. First saw these in a post by StraightOuttaCanadaEh http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...ostcount=18852

Got 'em off eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MCE-Air-Con...53.m2749.l2649
A bit pricey but what aftermarket part isn't.

Gotta love Chinese to English translations. Made from Aerometal???

If going for the all black look don't get these. I personally like the silver look.

When it gets cold you will want the 3m. Mine fit fine when it was warm but thermal expansion made them loose

They also come in black, just in case anyone is wondering. Also when it's super cold outside, they do tend to become loose as the guy above me said, but I found that if I grip it harder, it's fine. But yes, when it gets super cold and they slide off easy, do the tape thing. Otherwise it's nigh on impossible to take them off again.
