Can anyone help me with customized stickers and roof spoilers for cars?
Hi I just went through your entire thread.

Even I'm planning to start a car accessories business here in Mumbai so I need some help from you. I'm planning to offer mats, idols, perfumes, exhaust tips, seat covers and maybe even full car wraps!

1) from where do you source stuff like floor mats, perfumes, bumper protectors etc? any particular brands? Also tell me how to source car wraps and how much do these cost generally

2) did you undergo any training for doing stuff like fitting audio systems and getting knowledge about other electricals?

3) from where and how did you hire guys to carry out the work? how much do they ask for salary?

4) Any other advice you'd like to give?

Thanks in advice

Can we see some pics of the shop premises?

3M makes sticker material.All you need is a competent installer.
I dont know if i am right or wrong, but i suppose that 3m is not into cutomised stickers.

Some guy also sugessted me to get a sticker making machine, i have Zero knowledge about this stuff, can anyone please help.

3M supplies the material, the cutting machine will cut them as per the designs you make.A lot of people here use photoshop,corel draw and illustrator to design the stickers.

3M is the pricier one, there are local stuff too.

its a printer, which cuts the tape according to the designs, and is expensive, you need to install it with a desktop or laptop. ( but due to excess usage i will suggest you to install it with a desktop, if you plan to install it in future) i know a sticker guy in my area who purchased this printer way back in 2005 for Rs. One lakhs. i do not know the model but it supports tape up to 2 feet wide. it needs coral draw to customize the stickers according to customer choice but the one has to be familiar with it. if you want to get an idea about it go and visit another sticker shop. [;)] you will have an idea about how it works.
and about 3M i do not think that people will go for it as it is a bit costly when compared to other tapes. you can offer it as a secondary choice according to the customers taste. [:)]
