I can probably do these for about $13-15 each. Get me 6 people and we'll make them.

Here's some pictures of the "GP" lettering in the hood scoop, along with a ruler for measurement reference. Note that the lettering isn't actually white, it's more of a "dull silver"!


Click the pic to head over to my GPMINI Gallery and see the pics with measurements. You can click any thumbnail there to see a medium pic, then click again to see "full size" (nearly 2000x).

Hopefully this gives you enough info to make some letters - waiting hopefully!

You can always have 'em done in silver metallic or silver reflective (that'd be hot).

So is the font Eurostyle or a different one, and where can I pick it up for free? I've checked out dafont.com, but they don't seem to have it...

Another font to look into is called Microgramma. I don't remember the differences from eurostile but there are some.

Eurostile is close but not quite it. Even in Bold the lines are just too thin to look right If you don't want the outline look, then I think Eurostile Italic is close enough (IMHO). It's the outline that makes it a pain

You need Illustrator (or Corel Draw). It allows you to adjust the weight(thickness) of the stroke (outline).

I knew you'd want them, George

DVLMINI, as soon as you can create the "GP" letters for the hood decal, you have sales here!

Make that four - two to apply and two spares.

Also interested in the GP 2006 badge you have, most awesome design.
Can you produce that to go on the inside of the glass?

Size please...height and width...I'm trusting you to measure correctly. White? Right?

Nevemind...I see you all done your work. Okay, I'll get a group buy together and sell them in pairs in matte metallic silver. I think that will look great.

Okay...group buys are a pain for an item this small. The link to order is up.
Have at them!...Will wait about 2 weeks for orders and then produce. Should ship about Feb 2.




Direct link. The weirdness you see is due to the JPEG...the lines are straight and true.
