Default Custom Hood Decal

Hey everyone,

I want to put a custom decal on the hood of my Jeep
where the Rubicon decal usually is. I got advice to go
to a local decal shop and they could make it, problem is
there are no good shops around where i live.

I was wondering if anyone knows anywhere online
where i can make a custom decal for the hood,
and also if anyone knows what the height of the Rubicon
Decal is so when i make my custom one i know what size
to choose to it fits and looks good

Thanks!

A friend of mine has a vinyl shop here in PA.
I wanted mine bigger than the rubicon sticker so I just measured and he cut it to fit.

He sells some stuff on ebay, when you know what you want I can ask him to make it and mail it to you. ... If he has time.

You cann't make then online, unless you have a plotter and vinyl. You might be able to find what you want online then print it out with the sizes you want and take that to a vinyl shop. The town I live in is about 1 square mile and there are 2 vinyl shops, 1 mostly does big signs and the other does cars and window painting (like at a dealers lot). I'm sure there is one not too far from you. P.M. me if you cann't find anything.

Several folks in my local club have used this online source for making there custom hood decals. They all look great and i am in the midst of designing mine. I did notice that there isn't an actual JK to use as a template, but I can't imagine that the TJ or YJ's that are available to use wouldn't get the decals close for any application. I was planning to call them and find out if they could get us a JK up on their site. When I was first looking everyone told me to go here because of the "speedy" turn around. Good luck...

I had WRANGLER decals made for my JK at www.signspecialist.com . They did a great job and they look like something the factory should have done. There are tons of differant fonts to chose from . I hope this helps , it helped me.

Try edecals.com. You can have them do custom text with a bunch of different fonts.
