Vinyl Graphics Question
Where is the best place to get vinyl graphics for cheap. I've pretty much seen all the eBay ones and so far none have rally appealed to me for my FM tC.
If anyone has anything to say other than no graphics, please stick them here. I was reading a tread and got a link off one to a great site, but now i lost it.
So if any help on graphics would be great. and what color would be best for flint mica? I was thinking maybe black, so its not so out there. but maybe like a silver or dark grey.
Thanks in advance,
NightShade

im not a graphics fan, but i would go with the color of my rims which are silver. I actually have the ScionLife sticker in my window in silver to match my rims.
just IMO, i dont like them.

when i was looking for a vinyl for the car what i did was i went to the local store that made vinyl and asked to see what could be made. I then asked them to make a copy or small image of the vinyl and then looked around online. dont know if that will help you very much, bu tmaybe just going to a local shop might help you out.

there is such a thing as "cheap" vinyl...it will shrink and fade... Go to a vinyl shop and have them do the work... As easy as you might think it is, its not, there is a art form to being able to lay something that is flat on a object has many angles and many curves.

there is such a ting as good vinyl too.i own my own vinyl shop. and to install it is more than just sticking it onto your car but. if you have a good installer it will not crack and it will hug all the curves of your car with no problem. but if you have any questions on vinyl please feel free to email me at sol1racer@netscape.net. if you come up with any designs that you like email them to me and give me a color and how you want them to fit and ill hook you up

niteshade, the price depends on what kind of vinyl you want. the average price is about 75 dollars for the average sticker, specialty colors are more though and i can get almost any kind of color you want anything from carbon fiber looking vinyl to dimond plate looking vinyl you just name it.
fayt, i can do roll call vinyl just let me know what companies what color where you want them to go and what size you are looking for.
if anybody else has any questions on vinyl or grafix just let me know i will be checking back daily now that my internet is back up so ill get back to you guys quick.

just find a local vinyle shop , yall heard this b4 but decalkits.com is one of sponsor's, and when they sent me my hood decal, i had to get my sides done custom to match.
so i called up my local vinyle dude and he made the ones that are on the sides of my car.
its a very tough vinyle last 8-10 years. although i will be changing the scheeme of my car and the color of vinyle, the vinyle is pretty nice, many colors many shades, chrome, sparkelz ect.
a lil hard to see but on my club sticker the blue of the lil tc is actualy blue blitz mica that my vinyle guy had special made check it out (it sparkles)

aww the art of vinyl body work. the vinyl will covver that scratch perfectly and you will never even know it was there but if the scratch is deep enough there will be a grove in the vinyl where the scratch is. but as for the grafix just soot over a pic of someting you like on another car or on line somewhere and i will customise it to fit your car i have a flint mica scion tc and to go darker thatn that will be border line black but if you want it ill will try to find vinyl for you.

Vinly graphics when done tastefully and professionally looks totally sick. I'm working on a design myself right now, and I have been quoted near 500-600$ out the door (and that is friendly prices). A lot of tCs that roll out usually have the typical racing stripe that is sectored in blocks (such as you see on all the hondas) while this looks nice, it's very unoriginatly.
If you are going with vinyl, go with something that no one has.. and try to wrap the car if you can.. Sprawl up over windows and hood keep the whole piece flowing and it'll look incredible..
And while we're on the topic...
I'm still puzzled why people create a vendor roster on their cars when they are not even sponsored or even worse yet when they don't even have a part on their car from that company... it's laughable/ricey at best but then again that's my .02c
