Hey guys sort of an update here. I picked up a Supercharged decal from amazon for my front windshield and also some new tails The tail lights should be here by the 28th if I remeber correctly. And I'll have some updated pics with them in. Haven't got around to getting the banner on yet but hopefully soon. so in the meantime heres some pics for now. Sorry cars a bit dusty in the pics.

 

The first series of pics is just showing what I bought the pics of the car are attached below.

 

The same lights I have, they are great!

 

Have you ever had any issues with those lights? Also did you seal them up any more than what they came as? Just curious because I love them but I had an issue with aftermarket tails on my Explorer and I ended up having to reseal the edge of them and it kind of ruined the look because I got to them too late after the inside had already seen damage (the explorer ones were also a lot cheaper and probably cheaper made)

Either way they look amazing and really look sharp on black Montes

 

Never had an issue with them.

 

The only advice I have on the windshield banner is on the curve of the word "Supercharged". Or the lack of it. Most (if not all) aftermarket windshield banners are printed perfectly straight, and don't take the curve of the windshield into account. That's something only factory decals and custom cut decals take into account.

The Supercharged windshield banner in the picture seems to look okay to me. But I've seen some banners where the center of the word touched the windshield molding. And the left and right ends of the word were well in the path of the wiper blades, and looked like crap. I bought one for my previous car from an autoparts store. Didn't even leave it on the car 5 minutes before I ripped it off and tossed it.

Everyone that I've read who bought those LED tails said they like them. You could put some extra seal on them if it makes you feel better. As long as nobody can see it, go for it.

 

I'd seen them before but what sealed the deal to me was seeing them on your car. They looked so good on the pictures you had I had to get them.

 

I had thought of that after ordering it. My uncle runs a local NASCAR diecast store and goes to many dirt tracks around Iowa. He's made a lot of friends that way since he loves to talk anyway I totally spaced off a local company Grainger Vynls (idk how to speel it which is sad since I know them ) anyway my grandparents told me I should have had them just make one. So if all else fails I'll have them make it. When I have them put it on for mye I'm going to talk to them about getting a knights crest made up like my buddy Midnight02s and have them try acouple different color combos and such like silver with red or silver with some black inside it. Just kinda hard to mod much right now because I don't work much in summers due to working at a college which I plan at staying at for at least 1 more year. I'd like to get tint though next. when money allows it,

 

Thanks a lot!!!

And to think... pictures don't even do them justice!

 

In my efforts to come up with forum window decals, I've run into a common problem. And that is font. Many places didn't want to deal with custom fonts. Only regular fonts they could find on the internet or had already on file.

Most of the fonts GM used were custom made for them. And only the letters they needed were created. Like the 6th gen Monte Carlo font. Custom made. Vynil graphics/sign places have to do a lot more work to make a decal for a font that doesn't exist anywhere but in GM's office.

Most places told me they won't deal with copyrighted fonts, or I'd have to buy a bulk quantity for it to be worth their while.

The good news is that many of the more popular automotive fonts have been cloned, and are available on the net. You just need to do a google search for fonts to find them.
