Hey Guys,

I don't like the '98 decal scheme so this summer I was gonna buy some hood decals from a newer mach Z (haven't decided which ones yet).

Do you guys have any idea how much the cost, and where the best place is to get them? *I checked the microfishce at ronnies.com and it would be about $400 smackers....yikes, thought it would be a little cheaper than that. *I was thinking that maybe if I bought them in Canada I could get a better deal.

Also, depending on what stickers I go for I may have some spots on the hood that were once covered up with the old stickers, but won't be any more. *Do you think it will be very noticable? *My sled is in really good shape and it still has it's gloss on the hood so I'm just wondering.

Thanks fro the help.

-Josh

Yea, it's amazing how expensive those are. I was looking for a 2002 or 2003 hood set for my Mach Z, but also got to hear I'd have to pay at least $300 for a complete new set.

Find someone locally that does signs, there is a guy near me that does all his on computer and can copy or custom make any decal for a fraction of the cost, most all people in the sign business do it this way now.

Yea, that's a nice option.. A friend of mine can do that too at work, but he's the slowest person ever http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

<me> can you make me some nice stuff for on my hood? like something with flames or something?
<him> yea, sure! but it doesn&#39;t have to be done until next season, right?

in other words, forget it I&#39;m too lazy http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Thats too bad, because someone with the right equipment could make you set of decals like no one else, thats what I&#39;m going to do if I ever have to redo my hood for some reason.

i&#39;m no expert but it would seems vinyl cutting machines are limited to the vinyl stock they have. *the one we have have at work has lots of solid colors but i have not seen any multi-colored vinyl. *the software also came with preloaded logos, the only sled logo we have was YAMAHA.

Auto Graphics in Peterborough, Ontario can do fades & multicoloured numbers etc. My sister in law had numbers that went from one colour at the top, to a completely different one at the bottom of the number. When I wanted a different coloured Z 71 (as in zed) decal for my 94 K1500, I just took them one of the OEM decals & they traced it.

I don&#39;t know if they could do flames or what. Just phone around to any of your local sign shops.

Diamond Signs in Whitby did some bumper stickers for me & their "ski-doo" logo is spot on.

Just for the fun of it, here&#39;s 2 pics of my imported monster..

First one is from when I just bought it, with what I think is the original (and UGLY!) &#39;93 hood set (which also say Rotax 780 instead of the &#39;00 800 triple that&#39;s in it now)

And here&#39;s one without any decals whatsoever. I personally think it looks #### good, and I&#39;m thinking of just keeping it like this (I&#39;ll put back the repainted inlet thingies of course)
