and cannot find it agian.

any pics of custom graphics would be great, want to get rid of the old pink ones

If you're looking just for something custom like that......have you checked your local vinyl and/or sign shops? Or an auto shop that does vinyl wrapping?
 
I can't do that kind of stuff. I only cut vinyl. You will need a shop who can do a wrap.
 
Here you go cal these guys and see if they will make you something or have different larger scale stuff. http://store.factoryeffex.com/Rockstar-Graphic-Kits_c_265.html

I remembered seeing a bike all dressed up with that stuff. Perhaps you could fit the shroud pieces near the black air intakes at the front edge of the seat and the ones on the swing-arm on the hull where it says SEADOO. Put the fork ones towards the back near the foot wells almost where it curves around the back of the ski? Please don't take this the wrong way but when I see this stuff it makes me think of one thing, Pom Wonderful: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold. Now things done tasetfully (less is more) I think looks great. Although, one day I saw a kids civic COVERED in Sunoco bumper stickers and it was over the top but looked real cool, so sometimes less isn't more. Sorta like the one I posted below. Race skis is where I'll let go and say more is more, but personal skis I don't know, but done right it could look good!

That is one of their standard sets, they have 4 i think. I know they have that set, one with flames and one with a tribal look. I was very dissapointed with their quality. They are just cut vinyl that they have layered. But I think I only paid $135 on ebay for them. Im sure doc could make some up but I wouldnt recommend layering the vinyl. I put them on a 94 xp many years ago. It was my very first seadoo and i was desperately trying to get rid of the pink and purple.
 
I got this one made at PWCgraghics.com Oh and there quality is great! I have another kit that I put on my 95 xp and that one was great also...

From that picture, it looks like they have improved their quality over the years, the decal that goes by the key and choke looks way better than the one i received. The one I got just was black and then by the choke it had white letters that said choke and a grey xp. I have a question though, have you ever bought larger decals other than the ones you have bought from them? I have and I have purchased from sign shops, pwcgraphics and just people that do this on the side. I was hugely dissapointed when i peeled back the mask and saw that they were just layered, the description that they gave at the time was misleading. I took them to sign orama, its a sign place that we use to letter all of our work trucks. he showed me the quality of vinyl they use and showed us how low the quality was that pwcgraphics used. he agreed for the price it was just OK, but then said he would not even produce a product like that. He said when applying layers you should do one at a time, and with them already layered like they were you could run into problems when installing them. Again they were only $135 shipped so for the price they were fine. From the pictures ive seen of their recent stuff it looks like its printed graphics now which is nice. I bought graphics from them about 6-7 years ago so they may have changed the way they do things, they may use better vinyl and equipment now. I bought the razor kit and put it on the 94 xp, it did give it a better look but they scratched easy and the top layer began to peel. If you are happy with them that is all that matters.

Maybe not but very close. The xp is silver and the bottom decal is in seadog font and silver. If your is layered all he did on the top graphics is didnt put the white decal over the main area, he added a silver one in a different font on an angle. I would actually have to see the decals to see if it is layered, beause in the images he has made they look like they would be printed graphics and not just cut vinyl

This is the stock razor set. This is the one I ordered and this was 7 years ago, so I had not seen it in a long time so it looked like the one I had ordered

I have seen some nice half wraps, but no full wraps like posted above, but IMO, that black one is sexy... ! and would look even better with a single gauge hood.
a friend of mine had a nice wrap that cost him around $300, I asked him to send me some pics, and i think it was $300 installed, which for me would be important, I can't imagine installing a wrap, i have trouble keeping 5 inch stickers straight !

if it was me, just strip every sticker off, stuck on a few vendor stickers and called it done, spent the $200 I saved on ECWI and I was a happier man for it !

I love those wraps but they SEEM to not do a 100% coverage so you will see your color in beteewn the seems of the decals. Major deal breaker cause I love the digital camo but in yellow, black, and gray, which unfortunately is not a listed color combo. But they still look cool none the less!

that would be my concern also, i think everyone would prefer to see an installed version with some closeups vs a generated graphic.

If you click on the pic it will zoom in and you can see the white background in the gaps. Heck, even the stock graphics in some Digi-Camo would be awesome. Crazy thing is, I'm not a huge fan of camo but the digital stuff looks cool.
 
The install looks like it would be a nightmare, then again I thought the same thing the first time I took apart a carb. I can not find a single picture of these anywhere. You would think they would have a demo ski they did with at least one color scheme on the website. The pictures look better on the website. Then again they are suppose to make their product look good.
