My brother picked up a vinyl cutter for cheap and i've been doing some experiments on what I would like to cut and this is what I have come up with.

The ones I added are the Best Tank 70.4 mpg, PRIUSCHAT.COM, and the Averaging 59.5 mpg on the lower window. I have not cut these yet and just wanted some opinions.

Anyone have some better ideas for information to be added, different fonts, graphic designs, different locations?

I really like the look of the Priuschat.com one. Especially the way you have it curving.

Likewise, the Priuschat one is very cool curving that way. Personally I prob. wouldn't put the best tank and avg. mpg thing on, but the way you've done it is tasteful.

But I'd put the PC one on my car in a heart beat.

Thanks. I wanted to make them up and out of the way. I did not want to make them large IN YOUR FACE and smug.

I like the Priuschat.com decal and would buy one right now - the one I ordered has not come in and it's been a LONG time.

Where did you get the vinyl cutter cheap?

Can you make a big HSD decal as discussed in this thread?

I like them. They're small and out of the way, not ostentatious.

And face it, those are the two most common questions. Now you don't have to be cornered in the parking lot to answer.

I would like to sell them or even get them in the priuschat store if Danny would like them. If I got the OK from danny I would like to sell them and give a percent of the profits to priuschat.com Unfortunatly since i'm doing this for my own personal use I dont buy in bulk. That means stickers would be expensive.

My vinyl cutter only cuts single color vinyl so something like the HSD decal would require a $1000+ cutter/printer. Wish I had the money for one of those. My brother picked it up for about $200. Its a 20 inch cutter. Roland Camm1 pnc-1000. Its not a bad little cutter.

I'd be interested in Toyota logos the exact same size as the one on the hatch and the hood, so I can remove the chrome ones (they're the last raised chrome badges I have left on either car, but the locator holes under them need to be covered by a decal matching the dimensions of the Toyota logos).

I'd be interested in the logos in black or silver. Probably black as a first choice.

Thanks for your interest but right now all I have is white vinyl. I dont plan to do much cutting and because of that I dont plan to order anymore colors at this time. Viny is expensive to invest in when you only buy a small supply and have a very small group of people interested in it.

This is only a guess right now but it looks like for me to recoup the loss in vinyl/cutting equipment/time/PC donation it would be around $10 per linear foot used. If I could get some more ideas and how many people want of each thing I might be able to make a package of decals for $10-20 plus shipping.

I also would not want to sell anything that is all ready in the PC shop. I would have to get danny's permission on the priuschat.com bent center decal because I dont want to interfear with the one that you can buy in the shop.

If there are a lot of people interested in this I might go into the vinyl cutting business
