I won a $50 gift certificate in an auction at a car show. My design for a windshield banner was fantastic after one small tweak and I'm very happy! He even threw in a couple of small star wars themed vinyls so I got my entire value of my gift certificate! Great experience and will use them again!

We went to Bangor Neon for graphics for both our vehicles. We work with Ed, and he came up with exactly what we were looking for. He made sure we were completely satisfied. We are extremely happy with the work that he did, and plan on going back when we need more work done. I would highly recommend Bangor Neon.
