I know a lot of Indy owners out there are looking for replica decals to get thier Indy's looking like new. Since I always have been a Fiero love, and also do vinyl and sign work, I figure why not make the Indy decals. As some of you know, I already do the Door decals for the cheapest price around, but I had gotten so many requests for the red matrix stripe at the bottom. Well, I finally got them done and am about ready to sell them. They are THERMAL PRINTED (not just a cheap cutout) on clear 3M vinyl just like the original. Here is what they look like up close:



and this is what the full set looks like:



So, what do you think??

Kris


EDIT: Ok. From the people that have looked at these, the reviews have been very good. For the entire kit, they will be $40 shipped to your door. These are printed on the more expensive 3M vinyl that will conform to the curves of the car much better. At that price, I will be making about $10 a set. That seems pretty fair for my time. I'm not 100% ready to start making these in mass numbers, but should be in a week or two. At the above price, how many people will be interested?


Here is a side by side comparison:



As you can see, the matrix pattern in mine is sharper than the original. The colors are almost exact.

Looks good! A friend of mine has been bugging me to produce those stripes (also in the sign biz) but I just never seem to get time to work on them for him. I will pass on your info to him.

Could you put up a picture of your decals next to a pic of the original? If you don't have one, let me know, I'll do it. I'd like to compare the pattern. If they match, I'll take a few sets.

Lambo Nut sent me a pic of the two side by side. The problem is, it is on my other computer. I will try to post it when I get home unless Kevin sees this and posts it before then.

As long as they are stored indoors, the shelf life should be over 5 years at least. If they are outside in the changing temps, I'm not really sure, but I don't think it would be affected that much.
