Sweet Meef Vinyl Idea #3

OK, so i see this nice impala SS today just like our family's but more tricked out. Well, it had a way cool "Impala SS" reflective decal on the air dam.
Now, our cars are lower than Impalas, so this may be pointless and unproductive. however, I think it'd be cool to see "CAMARO" or "CAMARO Z28" on a fellow F-body driving down the road...

Post your thoughts and whatnot on whether you think Brent should make this and sell it to us for cheap like the rest of his meef decals.

Sounds like you want to try it? If so, shoot me an email and I'll give ya a good deal :D

Two things about the design tho:

First, the Impala SS was (i think) in cursive and slanted. So, it looked better than if you just slapped a "CAMARO" decal on then a "Z28" decal next to it (which arent the same size height-wise).
This means that you'd have to make a new decal that said "CAMARO Z28"- I'm guessing in the italic "Z28" style. Also, you could put the lines thru the whole thing like the Z28 overlay you currently sell. And, it'd all have to be the peel-off kind and not the individual letter kind.

that to say,
1) It would need to be the same height and "look" like a single decal rather than two side by side.
2) It would need to have the same style in either font or format (lines thru letters).

I don't have any templates for what the rear CAMARO letters look like, so if someone could PS a few prototype decals and we'll all decide what looks best.

ive seen it on alotta camaros around here.. to bad ive only seen it on 6 bangers.. but i love the way it looks. actually i want one in silver for mine.. BRENT!!! me = want silver that and (2 sides only)silver z28 overlays and silver bowtie. nownownwonwownownow

ill send you money soon...

even though i told you that befor and never did cuz im lazy like that;)

Brent-
Have you looked any more into making a single "CAMARO Z28" decal that's all the same "font"- ie: height is the same- for the air dam?
As you know the Z28 decals now are shorter than the camaro letters.
If you could make them all one size and look the same (the CAMARO letters are pretty square, the Z28 decal is somewhat italicized), I'll be your guinnea pig again; it needs to look like one decal and not two next to each other imo.
And I'm still gonna get some pics of the 30th decal when I put it on- I haven't forgotten.

Also, on that note, have you looked any more into fabricating a 30th decal with "nose emblem" decal for the seats? Keep me posted on that.
Later man,
Jay

or a camaroz28.com member sticker? i dunno if there is such a thing, but id put one on the top of the glass on my hatch

I can make an air dam decal that looks good. However, I think it would look pretty good to have the regular font CAMARO and then the Z28 emblem next to it. You don't??? To make the CAMARO the same as the Z28 or the Z28 the same as the CAMARO is HOURS of custom designing. To make CAMARO Z28 in Arial or something takes just minutes :) Did you have a particular font you were looking for?

I could do a 30th with the nose emblem but it would be a 3 or 4 color decal :eek:

i think it would be kinda cool if someone designed a camaroz28.com decal kinda like the ones that go on the front windshield. just a thought, any suggestions?

i know id have it on my car :)

i love this damn site hehehe

or even a camaroz28.com sticker for the air dam :eek:

just a thought :cool:

Brent,
I was just concerned about it looking like

CAMARO Z28

Cause not only is the camaro larger, but the Z28 is italicized...
Also, the Z28 has the lines thru it... I'm not sure how professional it would look (unless maybe the Z28 was on both sides to make it look symmetrical, but that might be overkill). perhaps seeing a concept PS pic would help i dunno.

Regarding the interior 30th w/ nose emblem- I'd do it all one color. I'd probably get reflective black if possible. I don't like the red/white/blue combo especially for my interior... I say stick w/ one color.

sounds like it would look cooll


i agree with the massive camaro and the small Z28

I don't think that logo would be much of a problem to make....

Look here:

Now, I don't know about turning that into a bigger vinyl decal, etc.

Making an image in a Photoshop/Paint type program is pretty easy. Turning that image into a vector image which is "correct" can be very time consuming. For example to make CAMARO with all those lines through it, at each point where a single edge of one line hits the other (there are tons in this example!) you have to break apart and connect each of the points and do some adjusting... that could take over an hour easy even when you know what you're doing. LOL!

I'm looking into it though! :D

Yeah, I don't know anything about that. I figured it might be harder than it looked. I just didn't know if anybody had realized there is already a logo out there in the same font as the Z28 logo (on this very site) and I thought that was funny. Hell, I don't even want one of these; I think a decal on the air dam would look tacky. But this isn't about what I want. :D

Yeah :) I do some of this stuff because it is challenging and I want to learn how to do it. Heck, I spent like 3 hours on this one thing for a guy and I think I charged around $15. DOH!!! :) Oh well, I learned a lot while doing it :D

great idea man
I'd like to see some pics of it on the car with GFX first though

YES- That's what I'm talking about!!!!!
Brent- if you could make this that would be super-cool.
Only change I'd make is to take off the ".COM" and put a space in between CAMARO and Z28.
But that's exactly what i was talking about with the "all one font" stuff.
Brent- no rush on this bro. And if you don't feel like doing it, that's cool too, but I'll put a "CAMARO Z28" decal on my air dam (looking like the above pic) and send u pics if you like.
Lata,
J

Working on it, Meef :) I'll post here when I find out more.

me likey ;)

Thanks Brent.
Just keep us posted. No hurry,

A couple of you expressed an interest in the air dam CAMARO Z28 decal. I modified a design made by my buddy Rick. Is this something like what you were thinking about?

http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/vinyl/Camaro_Z28d.jpg

Yup!!!
That's it- that's what i want (but in light reflective silver, and large enough to be readable on the air dam).
keep me posted on this- i'm all over it.

btw, my friend w/ the digicam came over today to take a pic of the 30th decal on the nose emblem, but the meefin batteries were dead so no dice just yet but do know i'm workin on it and will have it to you asap.

-J

one more thing, could you whip up real fast an alternate that has similar letters as the back (the wide M, the R that doesnt 'overlap' etc)... the contrasting fonts may look ghey, but just a thought...

[Edit]: Like this but w/ the lines thru it like the Z28 Part (and maybe italicized??? I dunno if that's even possible; if not, the design you posted (brent) looks great
like this decal (http://www.reflectiveconcepts.com/camaro/c-cam-f/cc-rmb-1.jpg)

There's a site that only sells reflective logos, and guess what, they have it in reflective silver. I found this site awhile ago, not sure if it's what you want, but I sure want the reflective logo for the rear inserts! :D

Heres the site: http://www.reflectiveconcepts.com/index.htm

brent has reflective silver :) Brent>anyone else who does decals

Found that thread I was looking for.
Just re-read what was said and keep me updated. Thanks,

Anyone know if anyone makes "turbo" decals or badges for camaros?

Brent can custom make about anything you want. he has made some custom "supercharged" decals for some folks if i'm not mistaken. Talk to him.

He did them for himself I know.

Crap, I had kinda forgot about this because I didn't think anybody was interested. I also missed how you wanted me to re-design those couple letters. I'll work on that this weekend!

Actually, no.
The decal Brent and I are talking about would go on the Air Dam underneath, not the front grille.
That looks nice though.

the emblem would look really sweet in the font Rauch LET, dont you guys think? I think the camaro in plain or a normal text would be good with the z28 emblem next to it :)

Meef, is this more along the lines of what you are talking about?

Thanks Brent.
