nah styleflip doesnt make a clear "flip"

stencils would be to tiny to realy do yourself,,u need to have it screen printed...thats the way the letters are put on originally..it can get expensive,,but i agree with everyone here....

i think its funny when everyone says,"i think it looks cleaner"
what they realy meant to say was "i dont know how to get it done" lol

or i guess you could use the excuse that it costs dam near 200 bux to do it..

but if ur gonna customize,then customize,,quit half assin it..

because we all know,that one day we might feel like upgrading or even down grading....and in that case,,u might want a piece of equipment with the lettering on it for sale purposes

i know my machines also,and i love to customize,,but if i didnt re-apply the lettering,i would feel as if i didnt complete a job started..

I personally would prefer to have the letering , but when your working with chrome, its not that easy, paint just doesn't stick. I may just order another face and get some kustom paint and even maybe get the stenciling re-printed. Anyone have any ideas on where I can get the lettering stencils? I really don't need any letters on my machine, I know it like I know my own ballzack.
I think I paid around $80 for the crome, I painted the candy myself. Got the logos printed out by a local guy I know.

it looks really exclusive.

ifind chrome looks best without lettering at all. somewhere on a pic, i ve seen a tr808 all chrome
