IROC-Z on Hatch Shade Idea

Hey guys was just wondering what you thought of my idea. On the hatch shade or roll up cover (whatever you want to call it), I would like to have IROC-Z embroidered into it. Maybe like 2 feet in width with an original IROC font. Would look good or bad? I think it would look great since im *trying* to make my car a show car.

Also do any of you experts no what font the IROC-Z would be?

Re: IROC-Z on Hatch Shade Idea

It sounds like a great idea...

One thing that would concern me is whether or not the embroidery would make it too thick. I would not think that a simple Line would matter, but when you roll it up and have compounding thickess added then it may bind.

You MIGHT consider having a silkscreen done, There is also a newer process where they can print directly onto a T-shirt, or even a Quality Vinyl Decal. All of them have potential down sides... Of course there is the stencil & Spray paint method...

The only way you will really find out is trying something.

Yes the embroidery might be too thick, and i dont know how big you can make a sewing machine sew letters, maybe 6inch? the t-shirt print idea sounds like the best. any other ideas people?
