Random vinyl question

I saw someone's signature where his white Fit had a red tow hook cover and it looked exactly like a Japanese flag. I want to do the same thing but since my car is red I want to make a white vinyl sticker with a hole cut out of the middle so that my tow hook cover can show through. How or can I find or make a rectangle vinyl that would last and not fall off or something?

Thanks in advance!

can go to a vinyl shop and ask for a sheet or scraps, then use a metal ruler and exacto

Thanks guys for the replies! Here's what I plan on doing. Admire my awesome photoshop skillz



I want the center of my decal to not cover the towhook in the off-chance that I have to use it, so the red cover can show through and be the red dot on the flag.

I looked at the front of my Fit today and realized that the hook cover is actually farther left than it is in the picture, but I still want it. I'm thinking of doing the same for the back tow hook cover too.

After a pretty short wait the decals are here! Ran outside in the cold, washed and dried the front bumper and threw it on. Flippin' sweet! Many thanks to DecalDude, otherwise this would probably would have never happened!
