Default Vinyl graphics for the wind deflector

I'm trying to find someone who carries graphics/stickers etc for the wind deflecters. [SCION] or whatever...

I'm no internetz idiot, seriously....
There's nothing on ebay right now and searching this forum using phrases like "vinyl graphics wind deflecter sunroof moonroof stickers"... no combinations of any of those have given me any results. I even Googled the same terms adding Scion and tC checked another Scion forum with zero luck.

So, where does a person get a product like that?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Any vinyl shop should be able to cut it for you. They'd just need an image of the Scion text logo and then blow it up to about 4" x 40". That's how big mine is... perfect size, IMO.

Cool, thanks. Photo? Is it perfectly straight or does it need to be a little domed to match the curve of the glass?

Mine was perfectly straight... but how it looks will depend a lot on how you apply it. A good guide would be to use the top edge of the deflector as a guide... so keep all of the letters equal distance from that top edge (and from each other, of course).

I actually forgot I had seen this one (but didnt wanna buy that actual one), thanks for that.


This one's for the windsheild. Thanks though.



I'll get with a local vinyl company. There sure are plenty in the area. I just didnt know how much of a PITA it would be to start from scratch, especially if it needed to be domed in shape.

Please don't put a Scion sticker on the wind deflector. It's been done so many times and everyone knows what kind of car it is. I think a few small decals on the deflector can look good.

I never actually said I was going to get SCION on there. I was actually shopping around and thinking of alternate ideas along the way.
You're certainly entitled to have your opinion, and I'm entitled to do what I want.

I prefer to go against the grain. You should have seen my Jeep when I had it. It was anything but a factory lift kit on it. I really tried to reinvent the wheel on that one.

Anyway, I'll figure out what I want, and when I get one, I'll pass on the 411 for you doodz
