I have an 07 Nitemare at my house that I have to do some paint work on and I'm just gonna paint on the flat black trim. Anyone know what the Nitemare font is so I can make a stencil ???

I would just do a google images search and then print off what you need to trace a stencil. Do you have a perforating wheel, pre-mask, etc? If so, you should be able to reproduce the font more closely this way.

I have a vinyl cutter lol. Just thought i'd ask the experts so I'm not going thru fonts for ever. Tree fell on the truck. Roof was replaced but I still have to paint it and repair hood, fender, door, bedside, chin spoiler, and wing. Doesn't look like comic sans though

How big do you need the image? Can you work with vector files? I can try to do it in Illustrator depending on how big you need the image

Is this the font you are talking about? I doubt it was a common font. You might be able to find something similar online though. You could call or email Roush and just ask them if it was a designed logo or a font. Before they try and sell you a new decal, tell them you are into scrapbooking and want to make a page for your truck using that font.

Yeah, tell 'em you are into scrapbooking, and you also want the design on the back pockets of the jeanshorts you just macrame'd.

I knew I recognized the font. I've used it before. It's Batman Forever, although slightly modified. Found here:

Good call. I was wondering why I kept thinking of Batman when I was looking. I just chalked it up to hype for the movie coming out this week.

It should be pretty easy to chop the letter flares and reposistion them.

NICE, I love you man !!! I called Roush but I didn't have the vin on me. "You gotta jump thru a bunch of hoops to get those decals" from their parts guy. Need proof of ownership ect.ect. still wanna know how much they cost. I bought a 31 " vinyl cutter for $250 my buddy had one I used to use so I have all the stuff to paint them on.
