Re: Show Display Boards? Hey guys i am a professional graphic designer and i can tell you that you will not find many places that have already made up ones. You might find ones that have templates made up so that they are cheaper that let you put like 2-4 pics of your car on the board with your mods but its not really personalized. Maybe the color scheme is different from board to board but the over all design is the same. Most graphic designers get between 80-90 bucks an hour to design a things. Now i am not saying that i charge that much but i will work something out with anyone interested in a fully customized board. Email me or PM me if you are interested.

Re: Show Display Boards? They are nice but like i said they all basically look the same, its not really unique but i suppose that not everyone in your state/town will have them anyway.

Re: Show Display Boards? holey ****! 18x24 for $140....
Dont mean to offend whoever makes them, but it looks like they are made in Word. Office Depo will print full color 18X24 for under $22.
Just call up some sign shops, if you dont have to have a pic of your car, just your mods and info they can do that **** cheap. A whole roll of vinly doesn't cost them more than $10.

Re: Show Display Boards? Here's some I made for my girlfriends Z06. I made them in Photoshop, then had them mounted on Gatorboard. The piece in the middle is her window sticker, signed by chief engineer Dave Hill. I made these smaller than the norm. I really do not like the huge, "taller than your car" showboards. I went with simple and neat.

, but here goes.You can not buy quality vinyl for $10.00 per roll???? Hi-performance cost around 170.00 per roll. The signs w/ pictures are done on a type of large format printer, so you have machine cost, vinyl/paper cost, ink cost, substrate cost and labor. The main cost is labor for design time. I'm doing a few signs for Bowling Green and it takes time to come up with a design layout. I don't think her prices are out of range. I'm a graphic artist so I know

Re: Show Display Boards? I keep seeing this vinyl vinyl vinyl crap. What are you guys talking about? I worked for a sign shop and the showboards we did were done on either coraplast or foamcore. They were printed on large format paper than laminated and applied. Most places charge labor, design time etc. That is why it gets to be expensive.
