Thumbs up Reflective Inserts

Check out these reflective inserts for the Camaro, they fit perfectly and are cheap. I'm thinking of buying a pair, what do you think?

Just click on the Camaro link, it will bring down options.

Reflective inserts are cool

I can do them as well but a little cheaper than those guys. I do this for beer money and to help out my f-body buds... not to make the house payment so the percent profit doesn't have to be as high

Are they just as good as the mass produced ones, I mean the fit and finish. The "R" won't look weird right?

No complaints thus far. All my R's fit just fine to my knowledge I don't make these by hand either... I make them with a computer and vinyl cutter so each one is just like the other.

Brent,

You rock.. I can't believe that other place is charging like 3 times more than you. I wish you had reflective white no-one seems to have it..

Do you have any examples of your "blue" 5 year vinyl ?

How hard would it be to get a sample pack ?

They have to pay bills I'm sure with the money off their graphics so they mark them up accordingly as any business would. However, I spend a lot of time on this board helping people for free (as do a ton of other people) and I happened to come into a good deal on a vinyl cutting machine so thought I might as well continue to help my f-body buds with high quality vinyl graphics for their cars at, often times, less than "junk" vinyl prices. The money I make off the vinyl helps pay for my web site band width (3 gigs a day!) and also some goes into my beer fund. Since I drink Milwaukee's Best Light, even my beer fund isn't all that expensive. LOL!

pu12en12g, nobody has reflective white because everybody calls it reflective light silver In reality, all the vinyl places sell this vinyl as reflective white, however, it is really a light silver so everyone calls it light silver! I do believe because of what it takes to make it reflect, it isn't possible to get a pure white in reflective. The reflective light silver I have is, like I said, actually supposed to be white but isn't really white so I sell it as light silver which is more accurate as to what it is.

I just ordered some reflective bright blue and it should be here anyday! I think that'll be some cool stuff If you are looking for something in a certain shade of blue, send me a picture of the blue and I'll match it as close as I can. I have I think 5 or 6 shades of blue. Rather than sending you a "sample pack" I'll make you what you want (assuming it isn't something huge like stripes or something and if it were, I wouldn't make those with that vinyl anyway) and send it out to you. If it meets your satisfaction you can send me the $$$, if it isn't the right stuff or the right color then consider it a free sample Shoot me an email if you'd like to do this. Thanks!

Excellent! I'm not sure what goes on with this vinyl and the mail??? I've been paying bills via USPS for like 15 years and have never not had a bill show up because it got lost in the mail. However, in the last few months the USPS has "lost" like 5 of my orders. I sometimes wonder if people are stealing them or what??? Some of them are borderline on weight at 0.9 ounces but I didn't think the USPS was supposed to just THROW AWAY mail if they believed it to be overweight??? I don't know what's going on but glad you got this order

I have a Red Camaro, so I figure that Black lettering would look the best, since I am trying to keep the Red/Black sceme going on with my car. I guess that your black would reflect white, right?

Yep, a white/silver look. This is reflective black at night with a flash...

I just ordered some reflective lettering for my car, not from Brent here, but I won't say the name to keep his profits up Mine are a little more expensive than his and there wasn't as much of a selection. But I didn't see Brent's store until now

I let you know how they turned out

I got the light silver reflective from Brent, and it looks white on the car day or night. The only time you can tell it's light silver is when the decal is on the white paper. But against a black car it looks white.
By the way, if you have a Z28, i definitely recommend brent's Z28 decals. They're separated so that each raised portion of the emblem gets its own vinyl covering. The install is a bit difficult but not impossible and they look great. I parked next to another black Z28 the other day who had pulled his emblems off and painted them, and mine looked so much better. Painted emblems don't look as sharp, especially since the lines that go thru the Z28 emblem get painted too. With the decal, the lines thru the emblem stay black while the letter and numbers are covered. Looks VERY sharp. Good job Brent,
J
