If you really want my input email me, but just come up with a 2-3 choices, put it up for a vote, and I'm sure you all'll come up with something cool

Thanks for the go ahead, Carl. I just didn't want you to think the monkey's were taking over the zoo!

And ditto on the congrats for being busy. I'm in IT with AIG and things are a little crazy now, too, but not necessarily in a good way.

I like the white and red, the black and red, and also the white outlined with black background.

Are any of these the type where the letters are individual. IE: it's not just one large rectangular sticker, but individually cut out letters.

My idea was that this would be a cut vinyl decal, each letter individual, not a solid, rectangular "bumper sticker" with printing.

I agree. Also, what are you looking at as far as dimensions?

Personally, I like Image 3, line 4. Curious to what it would look like with the whole bottom line in red, as opposed to just the "Nissan Pathfinder".

I agree, this one is better as it will go with all PF colors and their tinted windows:

Well, the best place to put one would be right over the upper brake light, but I think DMV might take exception, particularly if we go with the solid white "nissanpath" version.

Another place would be to the left of the handle on the rear window, but you'd have to put another decal on the right side of the handle to balance out.

Of course there's the bumper itself, and also the chrome valence above the license plate, though the latter might be hard to see.

If you've got a roof basket with a fairing, that's a good spot up front. Maybe a windshield banner?

Any more ideas?

I think the bottom of side glass, just behind the rear doors and C-pillar would look good. This is where I plan on putting my Search and Rescue K-9 stickers. Check out the small picture in my sig. Just behind the rear door handles.

There's a guy who does the decals for the NPORA site named Josh who cuts their decals. I've got a set and they're real nice. Anyway, he does individual orders in a good selection of colors. I sent him a PM to see if he can handle the business. Unfortunately, he's not very reliable and his website is down again. Aside from that, I haven't found anyplace that will do low quantities.

Two color is going to turn out to be a major problem, I think. They would have to be ordered as two separate decals and you'd have to align them yourself. And, if we have to do a minimum quantity, it just makes it tougher to get done.

I have to tell you with everything going on in my life right now, I can't commit to organizing a group purchase. I'm more than happy to modify the designs I suggested if anyone has any input, or if changes need to be made so they can be cut successfully.

Let me check with my buddy here in South Jersey. He bought out some vinyl graphics store and got the whole cutter printer deal and stacks of vinyl and what not. I'm pretty sure he'd do a low quantity run w/o issue. I'll e-mail him tonight and let you guys know what I find.

I checked with my buddy and he pretty much re-iterated the same thing about fiddling around with a two color order. He is willing to do it though. I linked him to the first page with the images. The only info I really gave was each letter would be either solid or hollow and individually cut out, no bumper sticker style ones.

Rough prices ranged from $4 up to $12-15 each depending on # of colors and hollow letters. But he also noted that these prices were flexible depending on what options and all that.

Way back when we used this place, http://www.streetgraphics.com, to buy a bunch of custom stickers from. I forget the prices and how many I got but it didn't seem like a lot of $ at the time and I know I got a ton of stickers.

I don't know about you guys but I'm kind of partial to something like this:

Josh also got back to me indicating he is still cutting vinyl. He's in the middle of a website update, so there's nothing for you to see there right now. But when the site is up you can place your orders individually, select colors and pay via PayPal. I shot him an email with what I think we've agreed is the top three choices:

So it looks like we've got two potential sources, which is good. Let's wait for feedback from the cutters to see if any changes are necessary and restrictions on size (e.g., small characters are hard to cut and easily come off). Then we can figure out what size or sizes would look best.
