Default Rear Hatch Chrome Accents

Working with a designer and manufacturer this week and next to perfect an application for the rear hatch handle and likely the lower trim. Take a look at the following shots and let me know if you'd be interested. Pricing will be reasonable.

Hatch before:

Default Here's the plan

I am trying to have something like this designed as a thicker decal than the door handle, for ease of handling and application. It will be UV coated so as not to fade or discolor. It should cover the flat section of the rear hatch handle (on both sides of course).

Curious that you only put one highlight on, on the left. I would have expected it to be on the right.

Seriously, it looks nice.

Default Yo Kett and Jay

A close up right now would not be flattering. I am left handed and wanted to show a picture of the change in appearance ( plus the decal stock is expensive ).

I will a better idea of pricing for the two decal and possibly a three decal set by next week. The third decal would go ont he lower trim, but may be too thin to apply easily.

Shooting for a price for the 2 decal set around$30 plus s/h.

The third decal is pretty long so I don't want to quote a target price yet.
