    If i understand you right, it can not be done
    one side will start at the front wing, second side will start at the rear wing. You can control some graphics but text reads left to right end of
    My apologies if i have misunderstood

    You will have to use a special vinyl which has the glue on the other face. 😎

    If you mean the slant of the text, i.e how Italic would look (leaning right) then you can skew the text in most graphic programs I’d imagine

    Illustrator you can expand appearance and then skew left and right. Be warned though left slanting text looks awful

    no need Phil just cut in reverse apply and show to client over their shoulder viewed in mirror – like at the barbers when they show the back of your head.

    Otherwise as already said its not possible

    Ah its funny how often this question comes up but you still you still stop and think for a second – hilarious. Just put what Peter suggest on the car and watch your customers face!

    Nice shades though Johnny – I had pair like them and Rob nicked them!
