They never mess up, but I guess there is a first time for everything. That makes me mad, it never gets there when you really need it. Did you call them or how did you know it won't be there until tomorrow?

I am sorry on their behalf, I have never had anything but good experiences with them, even when I called as the receiver.

Evan...not you fault No worrys Can I have you do some rear stickers "07" in red. 7" wide X 8" high. Just use your best judgement for the font from the original pics. I trust ya and just send them ground or whatever is cheapest for ya. Thanks

Toched up the rear logo a bit, still have a bit more to fix though

I can do that, snail mail would be the most cost effective way. True red OK? Only other red I have is burgundy.

Those Dinosaur silhouettes came out pretty well considering I had a low res bitmap to work with. I had to "make" the teeth manually, but I stayed pretty true to the original. It's tough converting complex images in bitmap to vector.

Does it feel weird that we are talking about another forum, while they are talking about us. Both sites about a Jurassic Park truck...

Wait this isn't going to cause some type of rift in the ribbons of time that will lead to the eventual demise of civilization

Great stic-o your going to single handedly bring an end to the world, thanks
