Trans Am Decals

Post by MCMLXXV » Fri Mar 12, 2010 9:39 am

Hey dudes,

I'm buying a complete 77/78 SE Kit with molded stripes as opposed to the roll.

I've priced them in a few different places as follows:

Year One - $695
http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/fbsh ... .asp?cat=4
NPD - $599
(no point in posting link as homepage of mag only comes up)
78ta.com - $485
http://www.78ta.com/store/product.php?p ... 251&page=1

Obviously the price from 78ta.com suits me best but does anyone have any experience buying from them? Their description sounds bang on but I'm a little wary about the quality of the product.

What y'all think? #[]'

They all get them from Phoenix Graphix 78ta is the cheapest around at the moment some he is even cheaper than the supplier.
Im fitting some for Craig at the moment and he said Phoenix Graphixs have very good customer support. :shhh:

It's the delivery costs from Phoenix that put me off though, way over the odds. Decent transfers though.

Yeah they are about $130 and 78ta is $39-$49 and he ships direct from Phoenix Graphix :think: ??) :shrug:

So y'all reckon the decals from NPD / YearOne / 78ta are all coming from Phoenix and are the same quality?

So I'm good to go ordering from 78?

Mikey? (if it's good enough for you it's good enough for anyone!)

GM, But finding them in good nick is hard. PG is good just a bit hit and miss on the colours.

Yes Phoenix have been fantastic when I had to deal with them about an issue with my decal kit and the delivery is super quick(less than a week). If they all come from them Id say buy from the source to save hassles down the road.
