Exclamation Airbag Warning Spoof Decals

OK guys and gals, I saw a decal on my friend's (early/mid-90's?) rx-7 and it was a replacement decal for an airbag warning, it said something like caution powered by a rotary, excessive rpm may cause women's clothes to come off, and had a picture that basically said "no bras" from the design.

It really looked funny as hell, and he can't remember where he got it at, any other folks have one or know what the heck I am talking about?

TIA

Too bad RX8's don't have boost out-of-the-box. Claiming boost and not having any would be like the ricers that put stickers on their cars when they don't have the parts.

I also think they "For competition only" is a bit of an extreme claim, since there are tons of rotary engines that have never and never will compete. However, this is a forgivable claim.

The boost, however, needs to go (unless you are one of the few with aftermarket FI). So, the following has the boost comment removed, and some of the JPEG artifacts pulled out.

It has to be sized to fit over the airbag warning decal, but otherwise, lets get a cost!

Make sure he can die them properly to fit over the current warning label. That would make these things a lot of fun.

Mazda Font

This is a mimic of the Mazda font. It might help with the vector version. Not to mention the word "Rotary" doesn't look quite right.

EDIT

Actually, it looks like the font above was used in the sticker. If I may make the suggestion, maybe a lower-case "r" should be fabricated, as the upper case "R" in the font looks particularly stupid. Perhaps a modification on the "n" could be used (flip horizontally, and chop off the bar).

If you need / want any help with creating vector version, feel free to PM / Email me.
