Pipkerx Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Decided that having the same Journey as everyone else wasn't for me. Worked with a graphic designer and came up with the custom designed and unique graphic for my 2012 Journey R/T. My neighbour owns a tint shop so he did the installation and also tinted all seven windows. Added 30% to the factory tinted rear windows and 50% to the front windows to avoid attracting attention from the local police. Overall I really like how this looks and I love that it's one of a kind!

Pipkerx Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 $485 CND for the graphic design consult and printing (I paid extra for the high end outdoor vinyl with a no fade guarantee). My buddy installed it for supper and a case of beer :-) Windows set me back another $200 CND. So all in all an expensive day but totally worth it in my opinion. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipkerx Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) It wasn't cheap but you're right, if you want a unique design and quality products then that's what it costs. It was 2hrs just to design it. I'm loving it, especially in the daylight! Edited December 19, 2015 by Pipkerx dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipkerx Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Sweet man, it's always great when you have a one of a kind ride. Makes it feel a bit more special, unique! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Being in the printing and graphics industry for over 25 years, it appears to my eye that there is a piece missing. The piece I'm referring to would go from the door cut line to the fender flare. It's awesome, but it looks unfinished by not continuing past the door.

Pipkerx Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I did that by design, I didn't want the bottom to extend as far as the front. This is the look I was going for and the pictures don't do it justice, in person is so much better. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the look I was going for and the pictures don't do it justice, in person is so much better. The top would still extend past the bottom. If he saved your file, all he would need to do would to extend the bottom about 2" and stop it at the flare; just like he extended the gray drop shadow past the rear door cut line. Just me, I guess. There are a lot of boat manufactures around here and they would come in every year for a one off design for the Boat Show. One year, we had a dual axle boat trailer in the shop, making a set of sea green and deep blue stripes that crossed over each other, the whole length of the black trailer. What a job, and each skinny stripe comes off of a 12" roll! Edited December 21, 2015 by dhh3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
