One 24" x 24" on the hood...
One 24" x 24" on the roof...
One 12" x 12" on each of the side door pannels...
One 12" x 12" on the trunk lid...

The local shop in town is going to be printing them out, and they are able to control the ammount of glue that is used to make them sticky... The guaranteed that they will be easy to remove at the end of the rally, or they would re-paint my car. They are pretty confident...

I'm going to the shop tommrow to get a proof made, if I like it, I will order them on the spot. I'll put them up on the car with some scotch tape, to take some pics... I don't want to put them on the car until a couple of days before the rally, I don't want to attract negative attention from the police in town. They might get smart and notify the city of Prince Rupert... [:@]

LOL if it does screw up your paint and they have to repaint it you could have another rally back up there and then another back again, then it would be a 3000

LOL, yes, you do have a point on that one! They couldn't pay me for the 3000 mile trip, not to mention the extra miles on my engine... I'm sure they would just pay a shop down here to do it! I'm sure it will be fine... It's the same material the logo's for the gumball 3000 use. If they are willing to put them all over their lambo's and ferrari's, I'll probably be fine!

keep me informed. i can definatly give you good directions to get you to seattle pretty fast starting from about 1/2 way through B.C. I had family that lived up there and i had a cabin on watch lake for about 5 years so i have travelled that road quite a few times. let me know and i can give you some maps and good directions to get you all the way to seattle in the shortest time possible. I will definatly meet you on the other side of the border for the last leg of the trip. we will have to time it just right so we meet about the same time and get right back on the road. talk to you soon

Just got the external scanner antenna installed, let me know what you guys think. I wanted to go for something that wouldn't look totally jacked on the car, but still perform. It works great, conversations between the police are very clear...
