If this is an iPhone, open the pic on the phone and rotate the picture 180 degrees and submit it again...just replace the pic you initially posted.

if its a laptop, open up the picture in an editor and flip it over.

The vinyl has the same pattern upside down

Is it possible to see the different patterns side by side ?

thank you very much!!

Off subject, but does anyone know of a source for the 1976 non-catalyst stickers?

George if you look in the original workshop manual they also show this vinyl pattern being used. Those photos were all taken on early prototype cars.

It is the same pattern on early targa 911 roof material.

Never knew it was used at the end of production.
