I know this sounds like a funny thing to post considering my other thread about whether to change the original (but flawed) stickers on my second Q-Bert.
This Zaxoxn however had really pooched side decals. The front ones on the other hand are pretty much mint.

I knew there was a reason I have kept Goo B Gone in the house!

Took some doing but I was able to remove the pooched original decals. Oddly enough the game looked kind of cool sans side decals...

The decals come ready to go but there is still a little but of white sticker to carefully cut out. I was impressed with the quality of them and once on the game they made it look really sweet...

Now that the game is all cleaned up and has the new decals on it looks great displayed with the other games. It also plays great...
Edit: This is probably a moot point around here but the e-bay seller who has these decals is:

He seems to sell games that he has fixed up as well as the replacement decals. I am thrilled with how the Zaxxon game turned out. A mint Zaxxon with perfect decals would be preferable but being able to take a game with significant appearance issues and bring it up to this level is really nice to be able to do...
I also just noticed that the original side decals were bilingual (I do live in Canada after all) and the replacements are English only. I will run into this issue when I replace the front decals on my Coleco Donkey Kong Jr. which is bi-lingual as well (it came from the east coast of Canada).
