Wrong and wrong(well the second one isn't really wrong it's just they are teams with race stickers).

Thanks. I just used a spray can it came out pretty good.

I emailed giant and they said they don't stock them so i would need to get them made up from a sign writer. Its too much fuss for something thats just going to get scratched up in shuttles.

 

[adam_lavv]
