Hey, Most of my decals came with my car but ive also made afew of my own on the computer. I just found high quality pictures/decals and printed them on photo quality paper (they look better than on normal paper) and stuck them onto the body with sticky backed plastic. I think they look ok although they dont look as good as the brought decals.

Yes you can. Just need to get the decal paper for your printer.

Another idea is to get a design that you like and take it to an import tuner shop. Most of them either have someone in shop or someone near by that will make vinyl decals for you. There is a booth at one of the malls here that does this stuff and I'm gonna get the to make somedecals for my new Supra body I'm setting up for night driving.

If anyone wants some decals made. Drop me a PM. I usually charge $10 per sheet. Each sheet will contain any (4) decals scaled down. Shipping depends on how fast you want them. I will send you a catalog of what I have and you can pick from it.

Can your $10 sheet be my own designs? I have the stuff worked out, just no vinyl cutter.
