Vinyl-ed markers...

I just blacked out my reflectors and side markers last week. I went down to the vinyl shop and bought a 2x2 piece. I measured all the areas and added about 1/4 inch on all sides. Cut them out and placed them on. I used a credit card and exacto 4 the fine detailing. Then I used I needle to pop the the bubbles around the lettering on the markers. Here are some pics of them. I think they came out pretty decent, not as glossy as the paint job but it solidfies the black on her...

Thumbs up

did mine last year.....holding up fine even with "jersey salt" over the winter.

pulled the rear bumper off to access the rear reflectors (it was not that hard)

I own a sign/graphics company and for the rear reflectors the local sign/vinyl shop should have or can get reflective vinyl in several different colors. this would help for those states that require reflective. this is the same vinyl that you see reflective on cop cars at night. this is also great for, those that ride motorcycles at night and want to be seen. we do quite a few decals for car windows and bike helmets.
