We use glass-etch vinyl at our sign shop and you CAN'T tell the difference between real etched glass and vinyl. It's a great product.

...that being said, I don't know that I would put it on my tees. Doesn't look bad though, and it's something different.

looks too odd with the gap in the center of the bird. Maybe if they had carried it onto the t-top center bar. That way the bird would look whole from directly above. Then planes and helicopters from al over would compliment you!

No seriously I think one bird for each side would have looked better. I have a friend who got his tops eched on his 4th gen TA at the on site etcher @ the TA nats in OH. They even rube some paint in to tint the etching. An interesting look.

The seller could have at least repainted the sides, lol.

They are interesting though.

I saw this on e-bay and almost posted it myself. It's an interesting idea, but I saw all the same downsides mentioned on here. 1- the guy sounds like a tool, talking it up as if it's high quality when it really isn't. 2- the gap in the center definitely makes it look half-a$$ed.

I agree with redraif that a bird on each side would be much better.
