    Haven't seen them mate.

    But it would pay to make sure they are safe for 2 pac paint if you plan on using it. I know there are some people who have mentioned to me about some mask kits out there for different things that the vinyl is of poor quality and the vinyl bubbles because of the 2 pac paint. Something to make sure of.

    Cheers

    Luke, I bought the sticker kit from pontiworld and they were not exactly accurate, but close. Still had to use masking tape. Also recommend using 3 coats of clear. I only put two and on some of the rims it is a little thin.
