Default best vinyl windshield banner

I have a windshield banner on my Trans Am that I've had on for a little over 2 years thats cracked and starting to peel and I want to replace it where the best place to get a replacement. The banner has trans am on it in white letters approximately 5 inches tall. I got it from rksport and I've looked around and seen others that are cheaper any recomendations?

mine is made of metal/aluminum, well it was till i took it off. I dont think it would have ever fallen apart.
You might check metal ones if you want durability.

I really want durability. That metal one looks just like the vinyl and is white so thats cool. The only problem I could see in a metal one is the glue getting old and have the letters come off

Check out this site http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/vinyl/vinyl.htm although I don't have a windshield banner, I have several other vinyl overlays and inserts from this guy and his vinyl products seem to be of a very high quality. Might be worth a look.

Go to your local sign shop. Cost me $20 for a huge bowtie that I put on my Blazer, 5 years and running sitting out in the sun everyday, no peeling cracking nothing.

My metal ones are Brushed Aluminum looking,not white,
and i dont think the glue/letter would ever fall off, they are only a micron or two thicker than vinyl, and apply the same way
