Inspired by MINIUSA, I had a local sign shop make these up today, and then installed them myself this afternoon.





Unless you are looking down on the roof, you wouldn't see these (thus the selection of the SUV theme). Inside the car you can't see the decals, because they are along the outer section of the roof where the tracks are.

Super cool, Dave! Man, that's funny! I can just imagine some SUVer looking down and reading that... by the time they figure it out, you're gone in a flash!

I like the sentiment and the job looks professional. But I'd be nervous, especially in Colorado: There are one too many SUV drivers who might have something very heavy to drop onto that cool roof.

Good luck Dave.

I just had "SoCal MINI Maniacs" put on the center top of my rear window today. No pics yet- did it in 2 colors, askew so it looks like a shadow effect. I love vinyl!

I'm looking forward to the pictures. In the meantime, what font and size did you use? My roof decals are 2.0" Verdana.
