    I've been in the vinyl printing/cutting business for a while and can tell you that the proper mirrored finish adhesive backed vinyl would work well. If someone has the templates I'll order a roll and cut some sets and ask for feedback. My machine can cut all of the contours without an issue.

    As long as I'm not violating any type of copy/trademark I'd be happy to do this and offer it as a service if there is a demand?

    PoMC says he has Cad files...

    I sent him a PM. Thanks.

    I'll have material here next week. If I can get 3 people that would be willing to test these out and provide honest feedback I will provide you with one set for free. I plan on installing a set in my TZ for testing as well.

    Please PM me versus posting so that I don't clutter up this thread.

    OK, I have 3 "testers" so I'm good on my end. I'll update next week with pics and I'll install on my TZ while shipping samples out to the three that volunteered.

    I do want to make sure I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here so if I am please let me know as my intention here is to help and not cause problems.

    Quoted from pinbuoy:

    Awesome, thanks for offering.
    But I'd think the cuts would be the easy part, w a razor knife,
    or am I missing something?
    what's the proper vinyl?

    If it's easy for you to cut manually and install then that's great. I imagine some people may prefer to have something that's already cut to spec and can be applied instantly. I have 3 different materials on order and my goal was to have these available for around $20 per set.

    Again, if its easier and/or more affordable to manually trim and install no worries at all. I was only trying to contribute to the community with machine cutting to spec.
