Default Car billboards

When you go to car shows you see these neat signs done on plastic with an image of the car and all of it's specifictions nicly etched into the sign.

Where do you get these signs made?

Many members make their own. If you're able to design your own, and you simply don't have the ability to print the size you want at home, you can try a copy&print place like Kinko's or Staples.

I like the idea of a more durable sign like what space posted first. I wonder if it would be less money for them to just print out existing artwork on the material they use? I did inquire about it.

Car boards have actually become a profitable business and there are a lot of places that do them now....

I heard one guy in a lot paid $350 for his...I was shocked...granted the person came out and took the pics and made the board, but after looking at the pics, me and my friends said I could do a better job with the pics.

As stated to save money you could be able to do something yourself....take the pics, do a photochop, have a place (Like cafepress) print out a poster size photo get a board and glue/stable it on, get a small stand....probably could be done for less the $50 if that.

I keep wanting to make one, but I keep changing stuff on my cars so it'll never match the board lol.

Hi Tadd,
I have to give the credit to my search engines : )
Yes, they are expensive, but it pays to get the best : )

You could place a Rush Order ?
Let us know what you decide, & if you get one, please post/share it with your Monte Carlo Family...

Good Luck @ Michigan & I wish you a fun/safe Trip
p.s. Pictures please
