I have worked with the company quite a lot making different dome style emblems for different projects I have built. I am checking on minimum orders to see what I can do for everyone. It should be doable. They treat me good and have substantially cut down the minimum purchase. The only problem I see would be in selecting fonts for everyones taste. I usually do my ordering with them by phone to cut down on thier cost and I select the style and fonts from their catalogue. They come in just about every shape, size and style. I designed the "Mad Sciontist" one myself for a local Scion dealer that I was doing custom paint jobs for here in South Florida. Had some left over and saw Carl's screen name and made him the offer. It's all about the community ya know.
Here's a link to my accountant's XA. She has had me do all the stuff you see on it. No one else has worked on this car but myself.

Thanx, much appreciated. So far she's had it in 6 show's and won 6 first place finishes. I guess it pays to try hard. She does try n keep it clean tho. I am almost finished with the sub enclosure. Maybe next week. Damn it was a pain.

Well, the "True Fire" was more to simulate fire coming from the scoops than to be like a "flame" paint job. I reserve those more for the street rods. Although True Fire (or Real Fire) has become very popular in all car venues. When is came out I hated it but had to learn to do it because of the demand. Thanx for the compliments also. She (the owner) is very proud and most of the concept was designed by her. Even though she is a book keeper which are generally not thought of as creative type peoples. I only added the flames to the Killer Glass and the rear interior panel to tie things together. The speedo face is an actual picture of a True Fire demo I had done. It is still, and probably will always continue to be, a work in progress. She gets a lotta comments that it does not look like a girls car. Although that was her main requirement. That it does stay looking as it belongs to a girl. Hence all the Swarovski crystal bling. LOL

Nice CJ! Wow Curtis helped you? Man it appears he has come a long way from his amazing wiring skills! LOL Sry Curtis had to bust on ya a lil!
Well it appears there is no time frame on the Boston G108-4's so for $8 more I am getting 2 of these!

Cant wait. I am getting my Pioneer Avic-U310BT this weekend. Look for a review, pics and a DIY as that is how I am getting it for free from Pioneer!
So this weekend I gotta install that, wire up my sirius satellite radio tuner so it runs through the deck, and get a box built for the subs. I am going to school in Yorktown, VA for a few weeks and cant go on that 18hr drive without having this stuff hooked up regardless of the false floor and sub box being carpeted and fully finished. As long as it works I will be fine for now. Wish me luck its gonna be busy.
Oh I hope yal are doing good. Sorry I dont call. I should. Im bad about that when I am on the otherside of the country. But feel free to PM me anytime or call if you got my number I would love to chat.
Miss yal! (tear)
