91-92 TA Tail Light Letters

I love the tail lights on my car but the orginal Red Pontiac letters are long faded away. Taking matters in to my own hands I had a set made. There not the exact font, but are close and make those great looking tail lights look even better. I had some extra sets made. If you want a set email me (jwkbride@charter.net) $20

Not really 'vert specific, and it does look good, but $20 for $.50 of vinyl?

Go go capitalism!

Don't forget that you are paying for the persons time, cost of the shop, cost of the software, and the cost of the machines.
The vinyl is cheap, but everything else isn't.
I know the cost first hand since I do computer repair for a sign shop and I ask plenty of questions.

btw, it looks good, but I like the stealth look.
Only thing that says Pontiac on my car is the headlight bezel.

Yes that's true. I actually took my tail lights out and over to the shop so the measurements could be as close as possible.

......Its like the plumber who was called to a house to unclog a pipe. After careful listening to the pipes in the house the plumber takes his hammer and hits a pipe and "Whoosh" the problems are all fixed.

The home owner was happy that all it took was a simple hit of the hammer to fix his problems until the plumber said "That will be $100 bucks!" Astonished, the homeowner said $100 bucks!....all you did was hit it with a hammer.

The plumber retorted, is just $1 for hitting the pipe with the hammer, its another $99 for knowing where to hit it!


Best Wishes,
John

I like my tailights that don't have that pontiac lettering. I dislike badges.

I freaking love your car though. I always wanted a jamaica yellow vert.

I'll trade you a red one with a t56 for your yellow one.

Hell, the lust over here is more related to the GTA lights. I want a pair of those before I talk to John about some vinyls for them.
