You got to remember that my little photo chops on MS paint suck, they won't look anything like that. Its just an idea of location only.

If you're looking at the car from the passenger's side then I'd put a small version on the bottom left corner facing you as you're looking at the t-top.

Otherwise, I wouldn't do it either because large S's would look tacky, imo.

I think it would also look sweet to sandblast the logo onto the bottom rear area of the side windows even moreso than on the t-tops. I'm talking really small...like 3x3" or smaller.

maybe on the rear end of the outer sides of both tops, oriented so you read the from the side as opposed to the front/back.

Definitely the only way to do it if you infact go through with it.

I'm going through with it for sure. He is going to do it for $50 for small and $80 for large for total price of both. I just need to decide for sure what I want. He brought me some samples to look at to work today. I think it looks badass. He said he can do it first thing when the weather gets a little warmer. Most likely a couple weeks from now.

Looks like most voted for a big S on each top and nobody posted, so I'll be one to post. I think it would look the best and make it stand out more, in a good way. Just make sure the spacing between the S's are to scale and not too spread out.

I'd get it small in the middle of each t-top.

I dont know.. at first it sounded cool but then I started mentally picturing it... and changed my mind.

How about having a couple of the silver transparent vinyl logos made first, simulates etching... try them out for a while and see if you still like it after a few weeks... if you do then etch it.
