no ur best bet it to take a pic of it and trace it out thats what i usually do but that bird was giving more problems then usual i ended up taking another pic with less glare and it came out perfect...

yup sometimes i take a picture of the emblem then measure the height n width then try to get as close as i can on SB to get the right size..i use the freebie vinyl to do the testing until i get the right size fit...but shadows mess me up like it did on this bird i needed help with but i ended up having him send me other pic and it worked out alot better see!  ;D

F-Body-Works, if your burning vinyl to check for size, invest the 25 bucks in a pen for your cutter. it will draw it out same as cutting and paper is alot cheaper. I think some people use a regular pen just need to find one that fits.

i dont mind buring free vinyl..its not like im going to give any customers that stuff....and a pen wont let me place the vinyl on the emblem to test fit and make sure it fits right..lol and y the heck would i wanna spend 25 bucks on a pen when my P-cut came with one lol
