You want the Monte Carlo script or Monte Carlo SS version?

There's also block or script lettering.

The '03 Pace car has block. If you want to know the dimentions of it, let me know.

I bought a spare factory original windshield decal for my car. The words measure 48" when you measure from the top left of the M to the top right of the O. But if you take the italicized (slanted) lettering into account, the entire decal is actually about 49" wide.

Not sure about the curvature. But here's a picture of my spare decal stretched out flat onto a wall. Hope this helps.

I do know of someone who was selling one of the factory original windshield decals on another forum. But it was a couple months ago. Not sure if he still has it. PM me if you want the info on it.

by the way, the example i sent was just for the dimensions and curve, not for a montecarloforum decal. you said you need help fast, that is why i used that example, hope that may have helped?

The curve looks like it's very close to the original.

The factory original 6th gen windshield decals are becoming hard to find. They've been out of production for a couple years now. Getting them custom made may soon be your only choice.

I know that many of the decals on the Jeff Gordon Monte are no longer available from a dealership. And all the driver editions, and pace car editions are starting to suffer the same problem. All the more reason for people to take care of the factory decals on these cars.

Sorry to hear your (03JGMonte) windshield got ruined. Hopefully you and the rest of the car is okay.

Incase you don't know. The factory decals for the Pace car were missing when we got it.

The windshield banner, spoiler decal, and the two Pace car decals were not with the car. the original owner said he couldn't remember what happened to them?

Pheonix Graphics supplied the replacements.

I paid about $130 for all four decals from them.
