97 GSX Wreek rebuild

Back in 2020 both of our skis ('97 GSX and 96 XP) were involved in a nasty collision which required hull replacement on both and an engine rebuild on the 96 due to water ingestion. They were both beautiful skis so I decided to rebuild them even though they were both effectively total losses.

I have the XP all done except for the engine. This thread is about the GSX. The replacement hull (white on top, red on the bottom) is in good shape on the bottom but the gelcoat is damaged enough on the top that I have decided to paint the top to match the bottom--all red just like a GSXL. I remember seeing a thread here several years ago where the owner of a GSXL replaced all the purple plastics on his ski with red and re-did some of the graphics and I felt it looked great. But I can't find the thread anymore.

The factory graphics are a bit much for my taste at this point. I am going for something more restrained--black carbon fiber outline style. I'll need reg numbers, the "SEA-DOO" script on the lower hull, and a plain "GSX" on the rear of the hull under the grab handle. Not sure what I'll be doing with the seat...maybe black, maybe red, probably two tone black and red. And black mats.

Are there folks on here who do custom vinyl letters?
