I know that Russ at Rapido used to sell them... not sure if he's still stocking them though. I'd check with him.

I had a set of overlays from those guys in my Saab - really high quality stuff, and they're nice to deal with...

Seems kinda steep. IIRC I was seeing the exact same thing on Ebay a year or two ago for $35.

They went as low as $25, after the "group buy" that covered their setup costs.
I got a couple before they changed to the (ick) "Halo" style...

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the halo stuff on there. Looks too generic ricer style.

Yeah, definitely. I'd like a set, just without the halo.

I've had a set for the Scorpio for year or so but never had a chance to install them.. I started to but they didn't come with any adhesive??? No sticky backing to peel off... am I supposed to come up with some glue or something? Any tips?

Get some double sided tape.

Would respectfully disagree with that, as it will add thickness you don't want, separate the film from the cluster surface, possibly degrade the illumination, and probably show through.

Contact the manufacturer/supplier, but I'm guessing it's a sort of press-on application like, say, the little oil-change stickers put on windshields, that doesn't need an adhesive.

Hmm. I know for some Focus applications you use double sided tape. Not the 3m body stuff, but the very thin Scotch type.
