Default Looking for Lightening bolt decals or something electricish!



Does anyone know where I can get some snappy hybrid-themed decals for my HCH? Just a simple little electric lightening bolt that I can put above my hybrid logo....maybe I'll move onto flames down the sides!!

...still waiting for my HOV decals too. Come on, Sacramento DMV!!!!

Seriously though, I've thought about getting a vinyl sticker for my rear window which would read "I'm getting over 55mpg. You need to get over it."

Or maybe "Get over it... I'm cruising at over 55mpg."

Or "Please pass to the left... I'm saving gas for your sorry ***."

Or "Hybrid drivers do it soft and gentle."

Or "Get the **** off my *** mother***er!"

Let me know what you find out. My HCH has changed my outlook and impression on driving. No longer do I need to drive for performance or status, but rather for practicality and efficiency... I like that plus I feel more relaxed and have a few extra duckets in my wallet.

Friends suggested (sarcastically) that I add to my HOV exemption sticker. Things like:

- Save the Whales
- Save the Bay
- Tree Hugger
- Make Love Not War
- Etc.

Funny, but it is a different mindset! We should be proud!

How about this one:

Of course nowdays you can have custom decals made up. I have to admit, besides our license plate, it's hard for people to recognize that we're driving a hybrid. I'm tempted to add a decal, but that's just so I can be smug.

Wangofree:
That's a nice one.

Outlooking:
I'll be sticking something on my HCH next month when I fix my machine that makes the vinyl stickers. Reason being......yesterday my tree pruner fell over in the garage and the blade/saw left some NASTY scratches . If I can't find someone to repaint that section cheap (not likely) then I'll be covering it up. Soo, I'll be sticking something on it. Not sure what design I'll do yet. Still thinking. I've done some pretty intricate stuff before though.

Hi All:

___I do not know if this is something you may or may not be interested in but a good friend of mine owns my own favorite looking hybrid … I absolutely love the beautiful paint job and the racing appliqué just adds to it imho.



___Good Luck

I remember seeing that over on another hybrid board. I like those graphics (though I probably won't do that to my Insight). That looks like a good cantidate for my HCH. Hmm, how about it Outlooking....instead of ovals...lightning bolts for you. The only problem is the sharp edges are more prone to peeling.

There is a decal out there that has a lightning bolt with the phrase: "Eat my voltage!" Pretty funny.

How about the emblems from a Ford Lightning pickup?

Go to a wrecking yard or e-bay?
