Question Newt Generation of XFI Decal

I have had thoughts about changing the size of the XFI Decal.
Some folks have seen the smaller (about 1/3d the size) Decal I have on REDCROSS.
Also I have changed the background to red instead of black since I have a red car.
Lets open this for discussion........................
What would you like to see the decal evolve to??
Smaller??
Bigger??
Different Color Backgrounds??
Colors to match (not exact match-SSB could be a problem) cars?? Red, Black,Blue,Yellow,White,Silver??
Matte Silver vs Chrome Trim??
Whatup??
I'm posting this here AND in the open Section for input from prospective members, as well.
Don't go crazy because I initially narrowed to two colors to keep costs down and to be durable.

Redcross,
I like the black with chrome trim around it, Like the one you sent me. It's aprox 2 1/2 x 5. I plan to put it on my rear side window, I have a black car with tinted windows and it will look good there and not block any of the already limited view to the rear. This should work on any color car with or without tinted windows. I thought about putting it under my spoiler but then no one can see it when I'm parked as I always close the spoiler so no one can mess with it. (some people have no respect for nice cars). I do think we should get 2 decals so we can put one on each side. Please send me a pm with info to receive a second decal.

JD, I like the decal size as it is now for display on the rear window but the suggestion for 2 half-sized ones for the side windows is also very good.....maybe the option for one or the other, or both for a little bit more. I think the only problem I have had is it coming up on the pointed edges from washing, drying, & cleaning the glass. After rounding off with a razor blade it hasn't happened again. I'm not so sure on the colors unless they could be matched, but then they wouldn't stand out as much either (plus the additional cost). I just think a uniform color is, and should be, more readily identifiable (except for the red thing, of course) LOL. That's my .02.

Thumbs up Re: Newt Generation of XFI Decal

Hi JD
I have the origional black sticker and think it looks great on my black 04. It is under the spoiler so when is is up you see it.
ps more color and sizes to match the cars wouldn't be bad. Keep up the good work.

JD,
I know I've mentionned this before with you, but I'd like to have a smaller one that I can adhere from the inside. I know we discussed that some folks have tinted window and this poses a problem, but I don't have that issue (and won't ever) so that's what I'd like to see/have. Not flashy, just something that can be seen but not necessarily glaring.

Thanks!

Smaller. I could use two small ones to match on both small windows on each side of the car.

Thumbs up Re: Newt Generation of XFI Decal

So it looks like IF we had One Large AND two Small Decals with the pointed edges rounded we would have a "BINGO".
Two smaller would be available for purchase by existing members and the INITIAL MEMBERSHIP package would contain one large and two small ++.
No, I didn't forget the inside vs the outside installation. Gotta check that too.
I will check to see costs and we can discuss further.

Even CHARTER members?

I wouldn't want ones that adhere from inside, since there's so much of that black around the windows anyway you'd be really obscuring what little view there is. But to each his (or her) own. I like the idea of two half-size ones to go in the rear corners of the rear side windows.
