They look good and thanks for pushing this forward. I also hope those 95 XP800 graphics are right behind them.
 
Monday is the day. Tracking shows the decals will be here. So stay tuned as they will go on that day. I will post many pictures of them and them next to oem ones so you will see how they compare to the stock ones. I am really excited to see these.
 
They are here! Headed to the shop now......

We got one side on.

Here is my rating/review.

The sizing is almost perfect. The detail is really close. For the money they are amazing.

If You have a faded set and want to replace them this is it. I will be buying many more sets in the future.

If you are looking for direct match then here is the things I notice that differ just a bit. I do not want to sound like I am complaining, because I am in no way doing so. Just making my observations known. The colors for the xp in the decal are a little more navy then the purple oem. The yellow around the edges are a tad dark, almost like a mustard tint. The gradient fill for the letters is not present. The circle in the seadoo on the bottom is not centered.

However if I did not have a mint set next to it I would never know. I am sooooo happy with these. It was worth the wait and I want to say Mike did an excellent job. The quality is amazing. It even has the same grey adhesive backing that the oem ones had.


Here is what you are all waiting for.

These are the graphics held up to the oem ones

The other side will go on tomorrow, plus the dash decal(which is amazing by the way). The hood decal is really nice too. I can not begin to say how much I really love these.
 
That is so slick looking. I can only image how much time Mike put into them. All the "background" fill looks sooooo nice. It's crazy to think that these are now available again!
 
Is it blasphemous to say I like the new ones better? Lol it seems to pop more with the more navy tone

That circle being off center on the seadoo decal is the only noticeable negative IMO
 
If I did not say it, noone would have noticed it. The color differences do not bother me at all. This is probably better than the 99spx resto We did and this is not even mine. It also did not come with the decals for the rear. I have some but they are in white not yellow. I also have the electrical warning for under the seat. That will all go on tomorrow.
 
This has come a long way since the begining. Not too much left now. Rest of the decals and the handlebar pad to be put on and she is done. I am really proud of this one. I cant wait to see the owners face when he sees it.
 
I forgot that's not a personal ski he will be blown away. Top notch work as usual jsg kudos [emoji106]
