So you want your spoiler sticker to say "Shtee 986"? The way I pronounce that it really doesn't sound too good!

Illegal... at least in California. Scrolling message boards are specifically called out in California code as illegal. I imagine it's the same in most other states.

rick3000-

I kind of like the red. I agree, it ties in with the red in the tails...

I've seen it in white and yellow which I don't think woudl look right on an ocean blue car.

i don't know how to use PS, so I can't change the color. anyone have the ability to use Rick's photo and PS the letters so they appear the same color as the car itself? it might look nice, and it may be so dark that there's not enough contrast to really read the letters at all...

I kind of like that idea though - in that I think my car's color scheme is conservative and understated - it's ocean blue, and black. interior is all black. wheel crests are black. having a bright red logo pop up at the back might be "too much"...but if the logo were color keyed to the car - it would be visible..but not too loud. it would be a bit more subtle.

anyone here good with PS that can do that?? thanks!
