Project,
I agree with you. One thing I learned in 6 years of working with F-Body owners, is that, my opinion should remain muted. We began producing overlays for HVAC and Headlight switches last year. This was sparked by competitors trying to capitalize on my very own designs. I pioneered the overlay concept in 1998 to preserve cars I felt were definite classics. Pry off the factory overlay, the adhesive and calibration is shot. I designed our products so that, when installed, it works like it was supposed to. Smaller brands started to immitate our concept, and we created HVAC overlays to devert attention back to us, who dared to experiment. Search ebay and you will find all kinds of variations of our original concept.
Our HVAC and later 1997-2002 Camaro overlays can be installed and removed without a trace within 2 years of installation. We spec'ed a unique adhesive which had to be developed for us, by 3M. Have fun, install our product, and go back to factory (or not), if that is what you desire. But, ours will remove within 2 years. Pro car parts, etc, are cheap imported kits. We explored EL kits, but found most owners preffered stock illumination. They are beating us on price, but NOT quality.
