Default Lettering under Spoiler

Hey guys and gals, I manage our family T-shirt and sign business. I was bored today so I came up with some lettering for under my spoiler. I'm going to to do the lettering in reflective black or chrome. Let me know what you think, all comments welcome (including ridicule).



and GO!

EDIT: I forgot to say; I drive a 2000 GEM electric car daily to work. I normally drive the crossfire on Fridays if the weather permits.

If you stop by the shop I'll make you one. We can't "legally" make them for resale, I'd hate to guess the licensing fees from MB.

Sadly we can't legally make the stickers and sell them. The licensing fees from MB would be outrageous. If someone came to the shop in person I'd be happy to make them for free (making it a grey area), or I can email you an .EPS file that has the art work in vector form and you can take it to a sign person who doesn't mind "breaking the law." Sorry, we had a little problem with John Deer a few years back.

Thanks,
Cory

A donation would be "payment", I'd rather not mail them, that makes more work for me and is getting out of the grey area.

I just noticed that you live in FL. I visit my grandparents every Christmas, they live in Sebring FL. If I don't forget I'll get in touch before my trip and see if we can meet up. I can bring along some stickers.

Jim, I think Chrysler gave up the rights to the AMX logo a while back. Looks like somebody else grabbed it up.

I’d do something more to the point, maybe “Auf Wiedersehen.”

Excellent suggestion! I'll look for a good font.
