Re: vote on this design idea...

the font is pretty close. except for the fact that you are looking at the passenger side and to make it fit in the stripe the italic is reversed. when i was masking it off on my car i printed a logo off of the web and measured everything out. it was just to lay out the idea though. i was not going for perfection...yet.

Re: vote on this design idea...

I don't know what font was originally used, when I redid it I grabbed a copy of the original IROC-Z decal that I found online and just scaled/slanted the letters to fit the original space, so it can't be anything besides the actual original font.

Re: vote on this design idea...

Wasn't sure, it just looked a little thick IMO. And some are faded from top to bottom as well. Just thought I'd mention it. I do like what you're doing BTW.

Not the best pic to show it I guess.

Don't like the pin stripe on the bottom. Other than that it looks badass!
