those decals look great, awsome price too. but do they have the metalic to make them look REAL? or just the reg. red, black and white (non metalic). im not trying to put the decals down b/c they look great, but how authentic are they thats all im asking

On the Alien cowling I think something could be done with a solid red back ground and the 1500XS decals trimed to fit the space.

Did a search on this same topic and figured I'd bump this old thread vs starting a new one. I too am looking at some retro decals for my alien cowl and ordered these from eBay. Saw somebody post pics of the same set on his motor, and I'm not sure I'm going to be happy with them when they show up. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151116091473...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Where's is the best source for getting a good, high quality set? Might even look into color matching them to the boat vs red.

I sure hope so as I didn't read the fine print on their return policy which basically says, "If you're not happy with your decals, we'll send you another set just like them". I'm assuming they turn out a quality product based on their 100% satisfied score, but I also know I'm picky. Seems mine are hung up in Detroit for some reason with no information as to an ETA.

My uncle can still make a set like Ronnies. I believe someone else on the board got a set from him as well. He uses all high quality materials. A always, you get what you pay for.

Shoot me your uncle's contact info if you don't want to post it here. If I'm not happy with the eBay decals, I'll just post them up for sale or something. I have no problem paying for quality.
