Re: Auto grafics

I ordered some hood decals for my '83 Z/28. They should be flat black. What I got was a very high gloss black. I emailed them, thinking it wouldn't be a problem to exchange them. They responded that if I had wanted the correct flat black ones, I should have specified them. Of course, that wasn't one of the choices. In other words, tough luck.

I'd avoid them...

yikes...this isn't sounding too good...

one yay and two nays so far...

glad I didn't send them much money...

I did however make the order very specific and used their own site's listed colors in the order...

we'll see how it works out and I'll be sure to let the members here know what happens...good or bad...

seems like these people would not want to tick off members of 3rd gen since it would be a gold mine of potential biz for them...

dunno if it's just me but seems like customer service is really sucking in general these days...

I looked at other sites for the decals I need but most were either sky high or wouldn't sell anything but full sets which I don't need...

I ran a white pages search for an autografics ph # and couldn't find one...oh well...

like I said at least I didn't send them much money...hopefully they will treat my biz as it should be...we'll see I guess...

Re: Auto grafics

You guys do know that guy basically just cuts vinyl that sorta looks like the real thing but isn't licensed and is in no way the quality of just about any other provider? He also has a history of stealing images and using them in his advertisements. Some of his decals that are based on licensed, copywrited emblems are slightly changed. Basically his legit business is barely even legit.

Oh, and if I remember correctly he's tried defending himself on this forum and done such a poor job he got himself banned.

Re: Auto grafics

Any local sign shop can make what you want. I could, but I don't have any of the licensed rights anymore to do them.....I didn't renew the licenses (pay the fees).

didn't know any of that Drew....


this just keeps getting better...

at least I didn't send very much $....

we'll see what happens I guess...finding the decals isn't so hard just finding somebody who sells them individually vs a whole set seems to be a prob....anybody know who will sell individually?

I need Formula decals...don't need them all, just certain ones...


TIA

Re: Auto grafics

To add to that, just about any vinyl sign shop can make you the same quality as Auto Grafics. If you want restoration quality, try http://www.phoenixgraphics.com/ or http://www.stencilsandstripes.com/ Both sell a high quality product and have a much better reputation.

Re: Auto grafics

I have ordered from them in the past, but they seem to have poor communication and shipping takes a long time.

Re: Auto grafics


wow...wish I would have seen all that before I made an order...


at any rate I finally rec'd my order today...all the decals I ordered were there..took almost 4 weeks from the time I mailed cert funds...

there is front and rear bumper Formula and hood scoops 5.0 Liter FI

now that I look at them I'm not sure I even want to put them on my car tho...I'm not sure they are even the correct dimensions...I'm leaning towards buying some more from somebody else...haven't made up my mind yet....

anybody know how I might check on the proper dimensions for these particular decals?

thanks


Zeke
