Default Custom graphics

I've just had a bad experience with my former suppliers for vinyl (eDecals). so I am looking for a new online place that can take my EPS file and make it into a nice frog.

any suggestions appreciated. If you have a preferred vendor that supports motorsports, all the better. And reasonable prices are a must.

thanks
Sebastien.

I was super happy with the decals Gary designed and cut for my car (GT-graphics).

There's a couple shots of my car here under front and side views (the reflective/chrome decals were redone as white - same drop shadow; rules thing, that was my fault). Very reasonable prices and quality work and materials. I was the installer so keep that in mind

I've tried using their services, (above mentioned vendor) but was seriously unimpressed by their lack of professionalism and organization, let alone their actual "work". I've been in the "graphics" business for ... well a long time, and I know when I'm getting "snowed". What's the saying I know a BS artist, 'cause I r one.

Anyway, now that I've relived that unpleasent experience, I have a great graphics person local to me. Jill Canuso has raced everything from Monster Trucks to flat track cycles to Panoz blah, blah blahs. Anyway, she took care of the SlideRule Cup stickers for nerdsracing.com this year and handles most if not all the work for the South Jersey Region SCCA. Her and her partners main-stay is motorcycle number plates, but they can do just about anything:

I had a great experience with Fast Signs (www.fastsigns.com). They actually have bricks and mortar stores and were very helpful.

I can't vouch for the quality, but this guy quoted me some *dirt* cheap prices: http://www.jonahgraphics.com/

He advertised on a local university website: http://www.thewolfweb.com/mess...37501

have the art of something to work from-then Fast Signs or Signs by Tomorrow are both good "brick and Mortar" stores. There are race car specialists all over the country too. Some advertise in Sports Car and Speedway Illustrated. There are 2 shops in Charlotte whose work one sees every week-if you wan that sort of thing. Personally-I went with Signs By tomorrow as they gave me the service and type of decal material I wanted (Lo-tack Scotchcal)
