Default nose arrow

hey I want to put the pontiac arrow on the nose of my white bird. I am going with the all white and black look, and I was wondering if I should just get a black decal made, or try to find an actualy black and white 3D emblem? what do you guys think?

P.S. this is an awesome site guys I just joined a couple days ago, and I have seen a lot of cool f-bodies and read even more helpful posts. Awesome site guys keep it going.

The front nose arrow I bought was not a decal but the actual arrow emblem from a Pontiac Vibe. I carefully cut carbon fiber decal to go in the area around the center red arrow and the outer chrome edge.

I think I am just going to go with the vinyl. I found this arrow online
I fixed the lines up so they are straight, and brought the corners to points so they aren't rounded anymore, and sent it to a guy here in town that wanted to charge me 46 bucks to have this file made in to a 3x5 inch decal. Is this the right price. I was looking for something a little closer to $15. Does anyone know anywhere I could get this from for a little cheaper because there is no way I am paying $46 for a 3x5 piece of black vinyl.

$46! Holy $****!

I use a company here in PA called 'Signs by Tomorrow' he usually only charges $10-$15 for a decal that he has to actually design. I usually supply him with a file that he may or may not have to tweak. Once he has the design it is saved in my file for the rest of time - then cost is $5 for 10 decals after the design.

Most he ever charged was $65 for my first set of show car signs with the text over a ghosted out background of my car. I have since had a much more exclusive sign done by someone else - but this is just to give you an idea of pricing in my area...

I was thinking about something like that. Either the arrow, or a Firehawk emblem. They look pretty good too.
