Some dude named BurgerBoy had some on his web-site (for 4th Generation civics only) and posted a link in the 4th gen. civic forum...

I've never seen any anywhere else. I think it'd be real easy to scan some in though...

It is hella cool. CI5IC your car is getting progressively more vicious with each post updating the progress. Your hatch cartoon fits right in there.. perfectly. If you don't mind where are you going to get them printed at? I'm going to do a White Face replacement soon and it would be awesome if I could get a one-off like that.. Nothing near that ornate though lol. I don't think my Hewlett Packard deskjet is up to the task of Vinyl printing (i don't think you can do that on a regular printer ... can you?).. Anyways keep us updated

I'm sure you've got a local shop that prints and cuts vinyl... usually for signs or whatever. The one I'm going to uses photoshop, so i'm just gonna give 'em the PSD file.
hehehe... I work for Hewlett Packard. LOL (actually, it used to be HP).

How would I go about getting templates for my car if its an oddity? Take my old one out, scan it and PS it? Thats about the only way I could tink about going at it.
