ok so here is what im talking about i found this on the for sale forum. see how both "Rubicon" and "Wrangler" stickers are written the same direction, stay with me here i know im rambling, so when u put them on the right and left side of the jeep the "rubicon" will start on the left side with the R toured the cab and on the right side the R will start at the grill side this is the issue i have with the stickers i bought. soooooo is this the correct look or does one side need to be made differently so that the R starts at the cab or grill side on both sides?
These are correct. In the US we read from left to right. If you were to put a sticker on the driver's side that started with the R toward the cab, it would read "NOCIBUR".

And then the Zombies would eat you.

It just occurred to me why you might be getting confused. With text, the words always have to read left to right, so the sticker will look the same for each side. Other images, such as US flags, will be reversed for each side. The field of stars should always face forward, so they will be different stickers for each side.

are you talking about flipping the letters too? Always left to right.

Okay, the stickers look correct, but are you talking about something like this?

Ok so if the stickers are made in the same direction looking identical. when u put them on they will look like this.... No reading the same direction if u look at it from above I'm sorry I'm not grasping this easy concept lol. I jst wana make sure this is the normal way to put them on

That is correct. You are thinking too hard about this. The way you wrote that out, both RUBICONs read left to right. Don't get confused by the orientation of the jeep. Worry about the orientation of the words.
