Well done!

If you want a real custom printed sign, you can do better than $100, though 
not as low as $1.65.  

There are several online services which make this kind of stuff.  You design 
your image on your computer, save it as a graphic file, upload it, pay them, 
and a week or so later the item arrives in the mail.  

A few times over the years I've made custom mugs, clothing, and totes 
(though not mag signs) through a service called Vistaprint.  They were about 
the cheapest I could find, though there may be more/different competition 
now.

Anyway, I see that they offer mag vehicle signs in various sizes and prices, 
from $25 for an 8.7" x 11.5" sign, to $72 for a 18" x 24" sign.  Not $1.65, 
but not $100 either, and they'll stand up to rain better than a paper 
printouit taped to a plastic "student driver" sign, in case that matters.

You might also check with the local public library.  I don't know about 
signs, but around here one of the libraries has a gadget that will print any 
image you want (as long as it's legal I suppose) on a T-shirt.  All you pay 
is a small materials fee.
