Looking for an online (or brick and mortar that ships) tint/vinyl shop that can make this custom tint for my rear window (I understand I would need to get an un tinted one first):

and a pair of these:

I will be doing more research locally and online but, the one local shop that I checked with can do the murial, Z-71 decals and custom visor tint but, wants $400 for the murial, $100 EACH for the Z-71 decals and $50 for the visor.

To me the visor is the only reasonable price.:dunno:

ESPECIALLY the 2 decals since he said he had NUMEROUS variations which he has on file and has done. The only "extra work" would be a separate set of decals for the letters. I think you can get the Z-71 decals for $40-$50 A PAIR. So the letters would be "worth "$150-$160!! :eek:

I don't know where to tell you to get them but if you can find the Z71 decals for $20, buy them and just have the lettering done by any sign shop. Your Z71's have some issues in that image anyway so it'd look better too!

Do you have the actual font available for the shops, or the design in vector format? If you do, that should keep the price down. If the sign shop has to scan in and then clean up the artwork, that may be where your extra cost is coming in. It's much easier to give them the artwork or fonts.

The rear mural isn't too far out of line for a custom job. It's definitely pricey, but that price isn't too out there.

I agree daddy on the decals. He has that exact Z-71 in his system. (I only have it as a reference I know it's kinda crappy).

As for the font I have the font file he can install in his MS Word (and told him that) so he is basically printing identical decals he has and charging me about $9 a letter for the separate letter decal. So another local shop should be able to do better on price for letters.

I was hoping $200 would be more the price for the murial but, without knowing what all goes in to the machine duplicating it or the cost of the actual machine he had to buy to be able to offer the service I can't really argue.
