Dave, decals don't work, rear emblems are all you need if your'e driving right. Racing is abother thing, Rob Lay's 328 looks great as it nose dives, he's out there making us other 328 owners look good! | ||

Paul I know what you're talking about but the vinyl sticker can be removed easily also. Transparent vinyl sticker is also available but cutting out the #'s mph and lines is really small to weed out, I've never tried it but if you send me a clean photo copy (exact size) of what you want I will attempt to make it. | ||

Modman, Do you know if it would be possible to make a round overlay for the KPH odometer in MPH? - In a clear type vinyl - not the adhesive type but the type that sticks but not permanently! i.e. to put over the clear plastic on the front of the odometer? - If you can understand that?? I have always wondered why the MPH odometer shows KMH but not the other way round ! Thanks Paul | ||

Lucky for me I have my own graphic plotter to make my own stickers, I can also make domed lettering and emblems like the real thing. When I have the time I'll post pictures of some domed emblems I've made. The vinyl stickers come in all sorts of colors like the chameleon one that goes from grn-brwn-gold-red-purple-to blue etc. and even brushed aluminum, you name it they have it, even an etched glass or transparent color too. | ||

Dave, if you're refering to graphics like racecars have, you need a business that cuts vinyl graphics, like a sign store. They will measure your car, and can tweak the lettering to size, you pick the fonts, colors, etc. Graphics can be placed on the inside, though it's shaded by the OEM tint. Installation on the outside is easier and may look better, depending on what you want. If you have patience, two drops of dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle of water, plus a plastic squeege, you can install yourself. Use the soapy water as a lubricant for placement, then squeege the water out. Once dry, it's quite durable, though can be removed. | ||

greg, I've been trying to get this one for my 78 gts...I have a template from one of the guys on the chat...how did you print it and what type of film did you use? | ||

Which decals? There is a tire size & pressure decal that I've been hunting for. In the end, I've had to make one myself...OK, my wife the graphic artist made it. She inverted the entire decal so when printed on the clear film and stuck to the inside of the windshield, it reads correctly just as the original did. | ||

A while back, there was a thread about decals for the top of the front windshield. Do these come precut to size or are they oversized, then cut to size? Where is the best place to get them? Is it best to get them so that they will stick to the inside or the outside of the windshield? What are typical prices? Thanks, Dave |
