Looks much better than the spacing on the ones that come from the factory.
I like it.

Not for me, the typeface is all wrong, looks out of place.

Ford uses a different font.

Keller: Typeface = font. Goes all the way back to lead type. :-)

Alan: I certainly didn't mean to dis your stripes, after all, they're what YOU wanted and that's the only thing that matters.

But what I was trying to say was, if I had designed the new side stripes, I would have done them something like this, as Earl mentioned, with the OEM logo.

My dad was a printer for about 35 years, starting back in the late 70s, and did everything from typesetting to machining, to building completely new presses. I used to love going into the press building when I was a kid, and see the massive machines, the impossibly large rolls of paper, and smell all the inks, chemicals, and solvents...

Those were the days, molten lead spraying all over the linotype machine, ink and solvent, where was OSHA then

Thanks for that, Michael, I truly didn't mean to come across as rude.

But you and Jack brought back a couple sets of good memories. Old guys do that chidt, you know. <laughing>

The first was working in a small print shop for a Rubber Company in Akron, OH of all places. Just a little AB Dick 360 as I recall but we accomplished a lot with it. I was just a flunky and gopher but I SO wanted to play with the photographic plates and the press.

The other was working summers in the small, family-owned soda pop company. No really big machines except the huge bottle washer but I too marveled at them all as a young kid. But unlike the print shop, over the years they let me learn how to do every job in the plant except mix the syrups which was the sole domain of my great uncle. Secret formulas, don'tcha know. <grin> I didn't much care for the hard, eight hour workday when I was ten, but over time, I got used to it and it was certainly good exercise and even better life experience.

But I sure had a lot of friends as a kid with a frig in the garage stocked to the gills with every flavor pop you could imagine and glowing every color of the rainbow from the frig's backlight...and they were FREE. I ended up with LOTS of gold in my mouth when all the silver fillings from all that sugar generated cavities. <grin>

Thanks for the mammaries, gents. :-)

Hey no worries I wasn’t aware of the font type and was kinda a last minute discussion when he was getting ready to cut the vinyl I originally was going with the two side strips the font u showed looks good two however he hand cut the letters out looks like the original would have to be done on a machine

My preference is the way it comes from the factory or not at all.

I may or may not add aftermarket side stripes. Had they come painted on, I would have got them for sure.

Thanks, Alan and I was MOST surprised to read that he handcut at last part of it. That is a bit old, OLD school me thinks as everyone doing vinyl today is using a good cutter. Mine would cut that all three of those stripes out including object borders in about sixty seconds.
