Where is Y?

[soulsea]

Hello.

So I asked this question on my hybrid thread, but since most of you ignore that section and my threads (I'm not bitter about it, really I'm not), I thought I would ask it here so it can truly get ignored.

What I am looking for is if anyone knows of a place/vendor where one can buy 3M backed lettering of the entire alphabet with the exact font and finish of TAHOE/SILVERADO/SUBURBAN/AVALANCHE?

What I am actually trying to do is spell HYBRID with those letters. Problem is even if I bought all the above oem emblems, I would still be missing a Y ... and the Y form the GMC Yukons is a different font and finish. Obviously non matching fonts are worse that death.

Help me find Y!!!

Soulsea-
I don't have a clue here, (Hey, at least we're not ignoring you) but I'm guessing you're not going to be able to find every letter of the alphabet, so....

Maybe this is your chance to make lemonaide out of lemons. What would it look like if you found a "Y" that was similar and got it in the color GREEN instead of chrome. If it was excuted well, it would play into the whole "green" movement and since it was a different color, it wouldn't have to be the same font.

Here's an example...

HYBRID

On a more comical note, if that doesn't work for you, just go to the local farm supply store and get those white block reflective letters (black on white) and spell it like this:

"HIGH BREED"...

LOL!

That is a good idea Art ... definitely something to consider as a fallback plan.

Where might one find a green Y?

--------------------------------------

Btw, the closest I found were a couple of fonts that are close but not 'it' here: http://youremblem.com/catalog/

(no, not the rhinestone one)

Probably located between a green "X" and a green "Z"...

sherwood forest? jolly green giant?

moldy alphabet soup?

If it helps any I do still have all of my suburban lettering sitting around that I'd make a good deal to you on if you wanna use it. it would get you at least part of the way there.

You could always go with this...

Just buy the whole word or else it may stand out and look weird

If I were you, I'd form the "Y" out of sticks and glue 'em on the truck. Of course the sticks shouldn't be plucked from a growing tree, nor should the glue be a byproduct of any animal testing.

I still have my Yukon lettering. You could paint the Y green and just make it a hybrid yukon

On a serious note how much different is the Y then the other lettering?

 

[07Burb]

There ya go, Serge. Grab Yates' lettering and my lettering and you're most of the way there to spelling Hybrid on the back of your ride

Wait a minute... I could spell YATES with all those letters... Of course fonts all mismatched and such but it would fit me perfectly...

This sounds like something I would do... I get these bad ass ideas in my head, then I start to realize it's damn near impossible to achieve. Even if it's something very minor, it still pisses me off when I can't do it, lol. To me, it can sometimes ruin the cool idea when you wind up "settling" for an alternative idea. Hopefully you're not like me... don't give up, my friend! Keep searching! Good luck Serge!

Yeah, that would be cool... you could always take them back off if you decide you don't like it.

Is the Y from the Cheyenne the same as the Tahoe and Suburban that I posted or maybe close enough it could be painted green and not as noticable?

 

[yukon2004]

The picture with the Cheyenne emblem is kind of small, but it looks pretty close...

 

[ChrisAU]

Cheyenne??? They are making Cheyennes again!?!?!

Watch it! It was the best I could find
