Making your Own Decals

Got some special paper from Staples. its matte white with an adhesive back on it. Ran it thru my printer at work as a proof of concept. turned out pretty good. So I made larger ones at home. stuck them to my covers and started laying down the clear coat. Here is some pictures after 2 coats of clear.

...meh

I finished the other side cover today. it sucks that i spent all that time to get a finished product that i am... underwhelmed by? they do the job. they cover the electronics and intake but the left side cover had to be trimmed to clear the license plate bracket and taillight. I trimmed off a section with the dremmel and punch a slit for the strap to attach. i'll have to get some more straps for the angled frame section to secure both sides down so they don't flap up while I'm driving. Hopefully when i add the decals to the covers I will like them more. have a look.
