I was looking at a few places online and they were asking a few hundred bucks for 250 stickers (for 3 or 4 colors) and that was the min. order..I am not shure we would have that many people interested.

That's kind of steap. that's over $1 per sticker. maybe I'll got buy some colored sharpies and some contruction paper and ham one up. but with the tinted windows I'd have to laminate it so I can tape it on outside.

nice big pic. I'm researching some places to see what I can find since I have so much time on my hands. I'll post if I find something earthshatteringly cheap. at this point I could care less about being die cut or whatever. if I got 100 for about 25 bucks we could all have about 6 or so each and just replace them when the previous one falls off.

even smaller would be cool with me. I don't really like stickers on my runner but I had to put a small arb one to signify my lockers and a small windsurfing one which blends into the tint so it doesn't look bad.
one of these days I'll get "Vertically Challenged" in big old english letters across my rear glass. I'll be cool then.

Yeah, I am not into plastering my cars/trucks with stickers. I have 2 right now. My USAF Enlisted Wings badge and a POW/MIA sticker. smaller wouldbe cool with me as well.
oh, I think it would take a LOT more then a sticker to make you seem cool.

OK here's the deal people. The guy I talked to can get 20-30 or so stickers ripped off for about $3.25 each plus tax. He can turn them around for me in about 2 days.
Now, what I would need is a vector art format of the image (.eps or something). he quoted me for a 2.5"x(length depending the 2.5" to hold aspect ratio) and I am just looking at basic rectangle with clear background. you could cut it out if you so desired but it is just way cheaper not to get it die cut around the lettering and just cut the outside away ourselves.
let me know and send me a vector format image and I'll get the ball rolling for distribution at Barnwell. I would pick up the cost as a kind gesture to the org from me but since I don't have a job I can't. so let's say 30*3.25= $97.50 + Tax. I guess I could make up the difference and just have people buy them from me if they want them, but I'd rather have a head count of how many want them in case we need more than 30 or if I'll get stuck with a bunch of stickers.

Here is another problem boss. I think that Scofco only made the one image..and I have no idea what a vector file is
So, someone who knows how to vector a file would have to redraw it.
I emailed that guy who did the Yotatech stickers ( or decals if you want to be a snob about it
) I am just waiting for his responce.but it sounds like you are on the right track.
BTW FWIW, I think the pink hat might make you look sort of hot after a few cold beers
( Hell, its all I got after you got me cut off Watchout on the trails ~Todd

I don't call it a "decal." To me, a decal you have to soak in water and slide on and then squeegie the bubbles out. Stickers come pre-adhesived and are peal and stick. Those dingus snotty decal huggers!
I'll do some more investigating on the vector art stuff and see what I can drum up. I wish somebody who knows about graphic formats would chime in.

Here is the email i got back from the guy who does the yotatech stickers
Hello Allen;
Thanks for your inquiry! We'd love to make those 4ROC decals. If you could
order 50-100 all at once, we could do them for $3.00 each. Let me know what
you would like to do.
Thanks;

no, what I was thinking was that if your guy can get them made with the existing image lets do that. plus he's cheaper at $3 each. don't worry about stepping on toes, I just want a sticker, not a decal.
I have my lars discos I got from my buddy Joey a couple months ago that I'll be putting on tomorrow. He said he didn't really need them and basically handed them to me. but being a gent I gave him some cash for them because I didn't feel right just taking them. Make sure you take pics of the SAWs install and stuff. it'll bring back memories since I did mine 2 years ago.
