If this is successful Andrew can you eventually make a karmann lettering or maybe just the logo ? I look foward to this

I may throw my name in the hat for a spare decal, in case my assembly ever loses an LED or needs to be replaced. I've gotten several positive comments on it.

I'm glad you guys like it! I always meant to post this, but simply forgot about it until now

Depends on what can be done with the letters.
Mine says unlimited in the 3rd brake light.....but if we can get "professional" help or a vinyl graphic cut out count me in.

My only problem would be getting it put on the third brake light. Because I really don't wanna mess with it and possibly break something. Who here is by the Chicago area who could help with it? I'll provide lots of beer for help putting it in lol

Looks good Andrew.... Just to confirm, is this a strip of vinyl with the letters cut out? Or is this a strip of individual letters?

Cheers,

Cheers,
~ they are individual letters and are made of vinyl like the other decals offered. i had them placed on a white board to give one a better idea of the look when installed. the set of letters have carrier paper on the front to assure proper alignment when installing.

Is there a chance that these could be made in reverse on the strip? Maybe have the characters a little bolder?
