The Lightweights for wheels are self-adhesive stickers that are pre-cut for you. The package has an alignment guide included. You clean the spokes, then using the guide and a sharpie, you mark the location of the stickers. Then apply.
If your are referring to the lights that you see in my wheels, they are part of my flux-capacitor system that I designed... When using flux-capacitors, it is very important to remember to bring fuel for the return trip.

Retro-reflective treatments cost roughly $25USD/color. For detail work (including the lettering) Fast Signs (in Beaverton) bid the Trek job at $250 in labor. If I was doing something like the Rainier, I'd be wanting a figure about like that. For a job like my Mom's bike, and I'd say $30(+materials) would be fair.
