where to get best decals?

i'm looking to get a few decals...specifically a set of 4th gen "Ram Air" decals for a hood scoop i'm getting and a big 3rd gen Firebird logo decal for the rear windshield (etched glass vinyl).

i was looking at autografics.com and everything looked good until i saw a few bad reviews on here. are they really that bad? they seem to have everything...

where can i get good quality decals at an affordable price?

Check out Fastsigns

I used to work for my local one & the etched glass vinyl is really cool to work with.

Unless your local store is a bunch of pansies, they'll hook you up with what you want. Not all stores do the higher levels of service, like the ful colr prints my story got into, just before I left.

Re: where to get best decals?

there are a bunch on ebay...any good? any insight? i don't want to get decals that aren't going to last...this car is a daily driver at the moment.

better yet- anyone know where i can get NOS GM Ram Air decals?

if i can't find them anywhere online, i'll check out fastsigns.

Look over this site:
www.phoenixgraphix.com

They do decals for all the F-cars (and a lot of other stuff). They list the stuff in kits, but you can buy them piecemeal, just call them. excellent quality.

Re: where to get best decals?

Try patriotdecals.com I used them for my decals I used on my f150. I spoke with Cindy there and she sent me pics and was very helpful on getting what i was wanting. They specialize in different designs and color combinations. The only draw back is they dont do it over the phone but they were very helpful and fast shipping with great quality. Just to let you know I wanted 09 style fx4 decals for my 08 f150, and the dealer wanted 75 per side. I got both sides from patriot in the color combo i wanted for 40 bucks a pair.

Re: where to get best decals?

decaldriveway.com has some firebird decals, and they do custom work. Its not orginal but its also cut out fully where alot of the factory decals are solid so if you go away from a factory color you are out of luck on GM decals.

I second the recommendation for Phoenix Graphics. I recently purchased the windshield graphic for my TTA. The quality was very good as was the customer service.
