Hi everyone!
Sorry I've been away...I sure have missed alot, I'm sure.
I ordered a custom windshield decal a few weeks ago and have been dying to get it. Today it came in the mail, so I skipped out of work early and took it over to the speed shop to have it put on. :Racing:
The young guys working there had a go, but it didn't go on straight and was full of bubbles. Well, they got most of the bubbles out, but couldn't straighten it. :shakehead:
Standing back to look at it, I was appalled to see my nice red lettering now looked more orangey. I guess that's the downfall of having such a nice deep red paint on the Nitro.
Anyway, I decided to live with it for now, but as I was leaving, the owner showed up. He was less than impressed. He took some pics, some measurements and told me he has a woman who does decals and stickers as a customer, so he'd get me a better and proper one made, something in a deeper red with my custom saying. And he said he'd install it himself. :smileup:
Needless to say, I can't wait to get the new one and hope it doesn't take forever. I will post photos, but not until I have the new decal installed; then I'll post before (orangey crooked decal) and after (brand new deeper red decal) pics.
It's already getting me second looks so I know it will look awesome when I get the better one finally installed!
