need lexus template

Ok, sort of an odd request here. I need this for my custom stereo (extra DIN) project on my sc300. It's kind of my secret project. Anyway, I need a lexus template that will print out to be 5" wide by 1.5" tall on paper. I will be using this to trace onto another material. I just want it to say "LEXUS", but with the lexus style font.
Thanks in advance and reply with any ?'s you may have

so you want the font to be 5"wide and 1.5" tall with a little paper around it? you are going to cut out the letters and then paint or something?

.....

You have the sizes correct. I am going to trace those exact sizes onto a piece of plexiglass and then paint around the word.

in order to cover the 5"x1.5" area the font has to be stretched like this making it look kinda odd, is that what you want?

I can make a templete out from vinly from my plotter. But I will charge you 5.00 bucks. This will stick to your material you need to trace. And make it a hell of alot easier. I actually have done that for a certain high end audio shop around here a few times to many. www.cartunesstereo.comActually they did a lexus there last year. Dont remember the model but it was really nice. Let me know if you need that done.

hmmm....

Now I need to find a way to overcome the stretching thing. I need it to fill one stereo DIN nicely, hence the 5"x1.5" thing. I think the 5"x.6" would look kind of silly though- just not tall enough to fill the DIN. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to maintain the same aspect and fill the DIN?
Maybe if someone can elaborate on the above 5" x .6" , just include the lexus "L" with the circle around it at the top center. Maybe this would take up some of that vertical space and make it look nicer?

Thanks,
Tim

ps- Ill let you know about the vinyl thing
