        Mine are printed out... on metallic Lachssilber backing.





        Looks damn good if you ask me, and they are a spot on color match to my exterior paint.

            No, they are only available on the CD.

                Jordan, what was the printer settings you had set?
                Mine keep on printing big, and have no idea how to set the printing options for the printouts to be the same size as the originals

                  Look in the same directory on the CD as the templates. There is a file called "instructions.txt"

                  OPEN IT. Read.... follow instructions.

                      They are quite visable. Either way, I think I've gone over this before.. when I drive at night I usually have the dash lights dimmed down to the minimum.
