I can make those at work all day. I plan on putting my aftermarket parts names on my window in either etched glass or white vinyl. Etched glass is certainly sweet though.

Do you work for a sign shop?

...yeah, I do too!

I had that same thought about using vinyl for part names, but I was gonna use black. It just barely shows up...looks real cool!!

I don't necessarily work "FOR" a sign shop, but I work very closely "WITH" a sign shop and we also have a vinyl cutter in our office. I never thought of black, I might have to try that. Vinyl cutters are sooo handy, I've been able to make brake caliper decals, white face guages (although I'm too afraid to take my dash apart) and all sorts of good stuff.

Well, I've been doing some glass etching for my bird, here's what's going in the back of the console. It's going to be backlit also.

Actually (at least on 2nd gens.) The bird doesn't always scream in the same direction. The 10th anniversary screams to the left(1979) while a 77 screams to the right. I don't know about on third gens. though (Bandit IIs)
