I like the idea. The bow tie seems a little crooked. Maybe a thin outline would help. I took my third brake lite out of my '92 but the '86 works.

might have been me putting it on. I was in a hurry before I left the house when I did that.

Then again the pic is at a slight angle also.

You know you want one for the 86 then...lol.

I can put anything in there that anybody wants.

Not masked off. That is a decal thats made outa vinyl. Do the art work in Illustrator and send it to a vinyl cutter.

Its very clear to read in person. compressing the pic so Its not a 5megapix file makes it look funky.

I think that looks cool...I'd like one that just has RS in the bowtie, think that would look killer on a black paint job. do you put the vinyl on the inside? what holds it in place?

Great idea, I never would've thought of that... but the horizontal part of the bow tie is crooked(mainly the left side). Look at how much space in between the bottom of the left side of the bow tie and the bottom, where the black starts and then look at the space between the top of the bow tie and top where the black starts again. It really makes the car look unique though.
