    Good job, they look nice.

    How thick are they and how did you attach them?
    The one on the side of the truck looks thin, can't really tell about the one on the back.

    They are more than likely magnetic. There are several companies between my house and the office, and I am fairly positive that there are numerous sign shops around him as well.

    Signs look great Amigo! Looks really nice !
    I would however, like to offer a little advice on putting signs on vehicles though. You may know this already, but sadly there are people out there that look for signs of companies/businesses on vehicles (know or thinking that they have big insurance) so they can set them up for vehicle accidents.... (they get in front of the vehicle and slam on breaks or at stop light they take off ahead of you then slam on breaks). Unfortunately that's what this country of ours has come to in many places. It's all about people out there suing and trying to make money any way they can .. even ways like this. My daughter has a T Shirt business (cookiejarink.com) and as much as she wants to advertise on her car(s), this is the main thing holding her back. It's sad, but true...... sorry amigo and I hope you're not offended, but just wanted to let you know cause I consider you a friend and just in case you had not thought about it, I wanted to let you know.

    The signs look very good. I understand Jerry's concerns very much. In my day job, I run an engineering and land surveying company. A number of the folks I know with survey field crews (mostly in urban areas) won't put their company names on their trucks as they feel it is also a billboard for potential theft. I know a number of companies who have had a lot of equipment stolen out of their trucks over lunch or while away from their trucks on a job site. We haven't had that issue, but are always concerned. I guess it is the area where you are that can make the difference. Either way, I still like the signs and hope they do help light up your phone..

    John,

    I too understand Jerry's concerns and I weighted on that point for a long time. The signs have been in my house for better then 8 months.

    Yeasterday I went for it, and pray to God that all the things that could happen will not. In this day and age we live in what to do what to do.....

    I do greatly appreciate Jerry's and your concerns.
    No were any of us live today is safe, from the type people who sets out to do bad things.

    Thank you both for your concern and thank you all for the feed back.
    Happy Carving

    Well, with the limitations of the machine, I don't think it would have been a wise move to place the metal tailgate in the machine anyways...

    Now, if his tailgate was wood.... It would be a different story.

    Great signs. What is the font on the door sign? How did you attach them? About safety concerns - depends on where you live. If I still lived in LA county I would worry, but where I now move about in rural Riverside county area I don't think there would be a problem. And my truck is a 99 and signals correctly, no money.
