I myself actually printed the marquee (also the Mame logo) at kinkos. Nothing hard about it. Go into whatever paint program you used for the marquee and make sure the size is exactly the size you need it. Now go to kinkos and see what size paper you can print on. They may have paper that is long enough. If so just print it out on that, it will look good. Cut it out leaving a little excess and tape the excess edges to the plexi edges. You may have some sort of trim on top and bottom holding the marquee to the cab so compensate for that. Hook yourself up a flourescent bulb behind it in the cab. Now, adjust how much light you want passing through simply by cutting out white rectangles the same size as the marquee from that same paper you printed on and fastining them to the back of your marquee until you get the desired lighting.
