OK, guys, I'm almost done with the *much -requested* quarter-window NICO decals. They look KICK-A$$!!!

They will be die-cut vinyl, full-color, with the logo and web address.

Here's the question - I can have them done two ways:

1) Red and blue logo with white lettering (NICO and web address in white)

2) Red and blue logo with chrome lettering (NICO and web address in chrome)

I will be picking up a prototype in chrome on Friday and will put it on the car and post a pic. Based upon your preferences, I'll place an order the same day to have additional ones made.

White or chrome???? :D

I'd vote chrome, the only problem is if it will show up. Sample pics would be nice.

On their way - Good news and bad news.

No chrome - Too many tiny parts (the dots in the webaddress and over the i's), and too hard to transfer correctly.

SOOOO, I'll post the pics I took first thing tomorrow morning and you guys tell me what you think (silver decals on my car already).

Here we go:

This is the silver decal - I'm not too pleased with the way the red and blue turned out, so I'll be back in touch with the shop here soon... Let's hear some feedback.

looks great, except for the red and blue. they might have to print a layer of white behind the red and blue to brighten it up...

cant wait for a public release

I thought they were going to be the kind that transfer and have no plastic surounding. Also I can't believe it took me this long to see this stickey.

Hitman, those pics are huge! Were you trying for a full scale pic, or what?

I just installed my 8" silver decals on my silver car, and they are big, but I like the look. I will post a pic soon. I am borrowing a digital camera tomorrow.

I think you ahve the right changes in mind. Brighter colors, white lettering, and no clear background, just the lettering only.

You know I like the solid color ones like jeffs. Only in the 4X6 size. I want white so it would be easy enough. Just a thought.

Sorry guys - I have some massive drama going down in my life right now. Didn't mean to leave anyone hanging.

I'll try to get with the shop later this week to make the changes.

Skwerel, Repo has the ones like Jeffs in white....
