    Anybody considered reflective white for these? They would look normal during the day but at night a car behind you can see the glow from a pretty good distance. I did the back lettering on my car this way and it definitely makes me feel safer knowing people can see me sooner. Most of my rides are older and have dimmer taillights than modern cars.

    With a decent image and some good measurements most graphics that are on a Jeep are readily recreated. MW I appreciate the comment and I try to do the best I can in whatever I do.

    He's right about the price, I just bought a roll of blue and a roll of orange reflective to fix an ambulance that was hit by a deer. Already stock white to fix Sheriff's cars because none of the deputies can drive worth a crap. I would think around $12 each in reflective.

    That would be about right, Doug charges 15 for his aluminum signs.

    Not bad. His signs look good and that price is not bad for what they are. I give hive credit if he makes any money on ebay because from a selling point of view with anything graphics related it all comes down to price. I never had any interest in selling on ebay for that reason, would rather charge a little more and be able to spend the extra time on the work I put out at the shop. I know a couple other good guys who sell decals and shirts on ebay to add that little bit to their bottom line as well.

    I used this to make my own stencil for the CJ5.
    http://www.cj3apage.com/index/Tech_Tips/4 Wheel Drive Stencil.html
    Just print it and transfer the outline to a stencil transfer sheet (sold at local craft stores). Presto! You have your own stencil to use as many times as you want. I modified mine to put the 4 to the left of the words.
