Flag on Moonroof?

[PepiMartinez]

Anybody have it done? I wanted to put the original 13 star's flag or the British Union Jack flag on my moonroof (because it's the perfect shape). I called up my local decal shop (Vigg Designs in Freehold, NJ - awsome place), and they said that it's impossible to do. I know that SUV's get elaborate designs on their back windows, and they are transparent, so I know its not IMPOSSIBLE. Anyway, just seeing if anyone has had it done, or, of anybody knows somewhere I can order it from. Thanks to anyone who responds. I know it's an odd post, and I honestly don't think anyone has done it, or even thought about doing it, but I'm just tossing it out there.

if it was like a tint, wouldn't it get damaged from the some hitting it hard?

[PepiMartinez]

nah, I wouldn't want it to be a tint. I would want it to be something that could be removed when I sell the car, so it would make sense to have it be a decal. I know they make transparent decals, so that is what I was shooting for

I can imagine it would be expensive, but yes you're right, it can be done. Try getting a hold ofSpeed Graphics. They will do custom stuff, and they already have one that's exactly what you're looking for, only a different design. You can see it here.

if you can find a shop that will cut the design or let me know what all you need to do it i sell the rear window graphics from 3 different companies and maybe able to get the material.. it would have to go on the outside of the sunroof though

[PepiMartinez]

Yeah, it was my intent to have it go on the outside of the moonroof anyway. That is what my local decal shop does. They have a very, very light adhesive on the back of them, so if you don't like it after a while, or it starts to fade after a few years, it can be taken off and replaced. N2OInferno, thanks for the site. I'll check it out, and KYMP5, thanks for the help. If you just take a look at the Union Jack flag, I just want it to look like that. It would be a completely blue backround, with a wider white stripe behind a thiner blue stripe. Here is a pic that might help:

Other than that, I might be misunderstanding what you are saying. Again, thank you for your help.

You're right. Damn, that is way more than I thought it would be, but yes, I am looking for the same material as that, just a diffrent, simpler design (in the Union Jack Flag). I'm gunna check my local shop again, and bring my car with me this time, because the last time I asked about it, I did so over the phone. So, maybe explaining it in person would be better.

Just figured I'd update this older thread, and let anyone who's intrested know that I found a plave to do exactly what I want. Vigg Designs in Freehold. They're the place I called originaly, and they said that thay couldn't. I spoke with the owner, and he said it's no bigge, and it's gettin put on this Friday. If anybody's intrested in pics, just lemme know.

Is there a perfectly good reason why you would put a British Union Jack flag on a Japanese car and that is not made in the U.K.??

He might be from the UK...

I've got an american flag on my car. I don't think there's anything wrong with that...

Close... I'm half English. My father is Italian, my Mother is English, and I have no mannerisms of an Italian. I seem to get a lot of traits from my moms side of the family. But to be perfectly honest, above all else, I think it would kinda look cool.

[Phoenix5]

Whoops!!My bad,sorry

[PepiMartinez]

NP. That's most people's reaction - lol. Some people still think it's stupid for the exact reasoning you gave, but I think it's gonna look pretty cool.

I took my roof rack and my wind guard, and it looks like a diffrent car. I got so used to those things bein up there. I'm not sure if I should leave em off or not...
