Bought a roll of Chrome Silver Vinyl adhesive decal material and was planning on cutting a custom flame design for the Pred since her plastics are a bit bare. Heres example #1, but rough but you get the idea, each pick is of 2 designs, will mirror the LHS to RHS when i decide on a design. any comments please I cant decide.
remember its Chrome silver on White plastics.

heres another couple, Im partial the the RHS on this one, simple mat be the way to go. By the way this stuff was pretty cheap so if it works and looks good then its def the way to go.

RHS on the second pic - LHS on the first if you plan on incorporating the numbers - They look good, let us know how it goes and post some pics when you are done!

heres the finished product, was very tricky to apply as the vinyl was very thin, thinner than expected, so I had to simplyfy the design. Any way rolled the pred the very next ride and destroyed the decals. Ha

that looks pretty trick man! (too bad you rolled it though:( ) do you think you're going to do another design or just leave it blank?

ive got enough decal to re-do it, when I can be bothered, will try and order sum thicker vinyl next time to make application a bit easyer and more intricate design.

the squares off at the bottom would be a perfect place to put your number if you were to leave it square like that
