hey guys i think i have seen them before but can anyone clarify if trans ams ever had door lettering decals?

i have seen one on a junk yard car but was on the ground effects under the door


i think it would look good on the door in black letters and at the bottom be like the iroc decal with lines going through it

and if there was is there anyone selling it now?

anyone?


im pretty sure i have seen it on the early 82-84 models where it had a few layers of pin stripes going thin to thick from top to bottom on the lower edge of the car all the way around

and trans am would be spelt within those lines on the door


just never saw it again just in a picture i saw years ago



and i would like it for my car

Yea email phoenix graffics and ask. Im sure they could do it but it might cost extra since they never came that way from the factory.

The 91-92 Trans Am had some largeish "Trans Am" decals on the door on the ground f.x.

one thing I will tell you, make sure it is in the correct font for the year. If you just pick some lame font and have it cut out in vinyl they look like crap.

thanks i like the style 82-84 trans am lettering if u saw my car its not an 86 anymore haha bolted on 82-84 body style

Here,
I believe this was the correct lettering for 1982 - 1986 Trans Am's

I have the original in CorelDRAW! so you can have it vinyl cut.

hey thanks

that is awesome

what do you mean i can have it vinyl cut?


like take the file to a graphics decal/vinyl cutter to make the logo for me?

Bobby_80s

sorry i have no idea what coreldraw is haha

is it some kind of graphic design program like CAD or what>?

L695speed

yes it is a graphic design program but I don't think you need it to save the file. I would say you should be able to save it, print it out take it to a graphics maker etc. then they should be able to replicate it. Am I right John?

ok thanks,
john sent me a .jpg

is that good enough quality or can john send me the coreldraw document?

L695speed

yea I think so. Also I think they should be able to enhance it if its not good enough. (I am going by what I've seen and heard) The file John attached seems to be the right size for the decal itself anyway. Also I was looking on Phoenix Graphics and they should have the decals you want separately. At least according to this:
http://www.phoenixgraphix.com/transam/1984ta.htm
I am going to order the whole thing when I get to that point; so you might want to call and see what they mean by names can be ordered separately.

i already have the decals for the fenders and bumpers

i want that photo above that has the trans am logo from the 15th anniversary trans am in big letters on the door

i can ask phoenix grpahics to make it in black

but they are alittle pricey

if i can get the image document id like to see if i can find a better deal locally first

L695speed

I would take the font and the photo to the local vinyl decal shop and have them put two and two together to make it. Shouldn't be too hard for them to do with todays technology. Good Luck with it. It would look great on those cars if done right. I am sure you are planning on doing that anyway.

yes i wana buy from phoenix graphics the 82-84 lower decals which r just thinner to thicker lines that go aroudn the car above the groudn effects and make that trans am door logo

basically what the 15th asnniversary has but in black on my metalic gray car with black ground effects

here i took johns jpg and made a logo with the lines through it. i dont have the demensions so i tried to eye ball where the lines are based on the photo way above

CorelDRAW! is a Vector program, more like a combination between CAD and a photo editing program. The only other popular program that I can think of is Adobe Illustrator. They both do the same thing. Many Vinyl shops like CorelDraw because it is easier to use and less expensive...

If you go to a sign shop, ask them if they will make you a couple of decals, if I sent you the file all you have to do is give it to them on disk. They should make it on any type & color of vinyl you want.

Of course the easiest thing you could do is just get it from Phoenix.

thanks john, yea and but im not sure if phoenix does custom requests. ill call and ask

but im wondering if the cheaper way for the same result is someone local

ill compare both and see

I just called and purchased the door logos from the 15th anniversary kit in black from phoenix graphics

20 dollar custom request charge since they offered it only in blue and i requested black

also purchased 1984 lower stripes molding in black

6 stripes going around the lower part the car above the ground effects

the stripes go from thin to thick from top to bottom.

i'll post pictures in a month or so once the decals come in and i have time to apply them

thanks guys
