I was wondering if anyone else had gotten the American Revolution Decal from Chevy Mall. Most vinyl decals leave the letters on the glass or surface and the clear backing comes off but the decal I got came with no instructions and appears to be a simple, primitive stick on decal, clear backing and all. If so, the price certainly does not justify the effect. The cost of doing a high quality decal where clear backing is removed and the letters stay is as cheap or cheaper than one of these. Any one else get one of these? I am really disappointed that the edges of the clear backing are so visible. I was hoping for a vinyl applique. :mad

:agree Same one I got from them.

Mine is the same way. I don't care for it at all.

Guess What

Based on what you folks have said, I think that maybe I will pass on this decal.

My Dad always told me that the biggest lie in the world was "Experience is the best teacher." He told me"Somebody else's experience is the best teacher."

Based on this, He was right again.

Hey Ed,

Can you post some closeup photos so we can see what you are talking about?

Will be glad to after work today Marc. The resolution of the Bow Tie on the letf of the decal is terrible too. Very pixelated and low resolution for the price. I thought it was going to be like the one on the pace car, but looking back, I see that one has a red bow tie and the one on the decal is an attempt at a photoreal gold bow tie. Usually these things are vinyl and the clear backing comes off and the letters stay on but not on this one. Hey, on a brighter note, I peeled off my boot, yes boot, they gave me that instead of a cast so the injury is not as bad as it first felt. I may be gettin better sooner than later! I actually was walking baby step around the house yesterday! Without the crutches! :seeya :thumbs

I was hoping to get the decal - guess I'll find someone who does vinyl lettering and have them "create" it for me.

Glad to hear you're starting to get mobile again! You'll be back in the driver's seat in no time!

Hey Ed get Marc or someone that is with the SSR's Chevy puts out on the speedways as parade lap trucks. Those are the windshield vinyl letters you are looking for, I have a California Speedway parade lap truck and thats the lettering they put on my windshield along with the 42 others and the pace truck. I just don't know where they came from but somebody from Chevy should know :thumbs

Every SSR's thats hitting the speedways and every pace truck has the decal you are looking for. Gm has contracted with someone because they are making hundreds of them, should be able to buy them! I have ran into guys that have bought SSR's from dealers who have been pi**ed that the dealer has taken them off . Lets run till monday if no answer I will post one. AGAIN MARC ANYONE FROM GM CAN YOU FIND THIS INFO OUT FOR US, THERE ARE ALOT OF FANATICS THAT WOULD LIKE TO BUY THIS DECAL EVEN THOUGH IT'S FREE ADVERTISING FOR GM!!!!!!!

... THERE ARE ALOT OF FANATICS THAT WOULD LIKE TO BUY THIS DECAL EVEN THOUGH IT'S FREE ADVERTISING FOR GM!!!!!!!

I remember getting one of those at last years SSR Chevy event at Coney Island/ Woodward Dream Cruise. (I asked to get one of those banners off a SSR that had been in the parade.) I think those are the same as Ed got off of our Chevy website.

I believe they are designed like that so you can take them on and off easily. If you apply some WD-42 onto the plastic decal they actually appear to be almost invisible so I was told anyways.

Can anyone spot some GM Executives in the photos? Bob Walczyk Chevy SSR Marketing Mgr. is one.
