Ok guys, I finally got an email back from Brent Franker about the fill in lettering vinyl decals for the rear panel on the car today. Has anybody else used him and comments about the decals?
For the price it seems like an amazing deal. Can't wait to get them in and installed already.

Looks like he has a great assortment of colors and decals up for sale. Here's a link to his site with the vinyl:

Yes I have them in red they fit pretty damn good. Putting them in and lining them up nice is a bitch. I got two sets don't remember if I ordered two or he gave two incase I fecked up...

I also got two steering wheel fill in decals from him that fit but don't stick at all (always find myself pushing them in with my nail in traffic) and I put the other decal on my headlight bucket looks sweet. and got the camaro letters for the brake calipers in black. All shit fits great only thing is steering wheel letters dont stick to the plastic well.

Figured I would give him a shot, hell it's only $8 for the fill-ins. Was thinking of painting it, but didn't want to go through all that just yet and besides it's still early in the year yet. Don't need it to go all orange peel on me lol.

Its cool to give the dude the business he basically started the decal scene for the 4th gens lol.

I agree with mike tho I kinda wish I got those stick in letters from like 6le designs they make black w red outline ones but they pricy. I had to have red with mine..

I have the rear fill ins and the bird for the center panel, they look great and have held up very well.

Looks great man! Can't wait to get mine in and on the car already! Maybe later on down the road I'll grab some fill in letters, but for now vinyl will have to suffice

Just to clarify, those decals are regular flat vinyl from Brent, they are not the thicker kind. The Formula badge is stock and the LT1 badge I got on eBay.

Yup, the bird and the pontiac fill in looks great man. Nice touch with the add of the LT1 badge, looks like it belongs there :)

Yeah, so I'm noticing. I get impatient with stuff when it comes to the car. But would prefer doing it when it's warm even though I've got the heat gun. But with me being me, I'll b*tch and complain the whole time till they get here lol.

So I got the decals in the mail yesterday, ordered and paid for them on Tuesday. Got them really quick and installed them today. Took me about 30 mins at the most. here's the before and after below...

I think it came out great, only issue I had was with the "O" but that's my own deal there, pressed down a bit too firm too early. But removed it and hit it with a lot of water again and reseated the letter. I'm extremely happy with the end results and overall shipping time. Glad I bought em!

I was really impressed with the shipping time. The vinyl itself seems fairly good quality. Definitely good adhesion and it matched up great to the car. Definitely willing to buy from him again and give him the credit deserved.

$8 shipped for the basic colors, for that money, I ain't b*tchin one bit and put the order in with him on tuesday and sent the money same day after 3pm, got the decals in on Friday. So like 2-3 days shipped from Florida. Have you checked his site? Guy has a ton of stuff up there.

i think fill ins are like 6 bux plus ship.

Pretty close!

I'm not a fan of decal fill ins. I usually get emblems from emblempros and decals from fourthcircledesign
