I am Making these for 30$, custom lettering and images (two colour) are doable for the same price
i had to raise the price as they raised the price of the etching.

That's not bad looking.  I sort of dig it.  I just swapped my stock amp for a cubby hold in order to store stuff in there.  But I def. like what you did.

Off topic a little, but I have an Xplode deck also and I cannot find a plate/filler piece that covers the exposed metal bits of the sides of the deck.  I was wondering if you could take a picture of your deck and let me know what you used for that filler plate.  I made something so it works for now, but I'm not happy with it.

That would be great because I've tried filler plates and nothing comes out looking good imo.

Actually looks pretty sick.

Anyone have a link to the adapter kit thing for around the CD player? I've looked and looking but can't find anything, unless I've happened to pass over it without noticing, right now I have cardboard, haha, which is fine for while it's sitting in the garage, but looks pretty shit.

Sorry for the hijack, that looks sweet! If you were to make them and sell them I'd totally buy one!

Plate thingy to come tomorrow. and if i sell these it would be well... expensive like 20 buck apiece... it was 16usd to lazer etch it hour + and multiple passes at low power..

and the lighting is n****r rigged. its a bent bit of coat hanger looped around the Tape deck light socket and screwed down at the other end...

but i could make them...rotary tool paint and time... and like 1~2 dollar shipping states wise anyhow...

$20? damn that'll break my bank for the next 10 years!  

seriously though, only $20? I was kinda expecting more hahah. Well if you're willing to, I'd definitely want to buy one.. Name a price, PM me if you'd like

That looks sweet, I'm sure it'll look awesome at night..

And they don't make those adapters anymore?

Quick thing, I really dig that slated piece on your back window, did that come stock or was it a mod?

You have a very nice car!

It should be pretty easy to get a blanking plate for the Sony head unit Draconis.. Most car audio places should have one. I also have an Xplod head unit with Bluetooth, built-in mic and auxiliary input.

DraconisMar 15, 2010, 9:48 pm · #16

Oh yeah it should be easy to get one.  Problem is getting one that looks good.  The couple I have tried look like a$$.  Ah well, I'm getting a new unit and will try to get another plate and see if ti works better this time.

imtheguy247Apr 29, 2010, 4:09 am · #25

SC You think you can cut me one for me 84 ca20e? i'll pay for shipping and everything. I have some in interior lights under the dash and under some seats and i think that'll look cool with all of the lights.

One is done for Dareklee, one custom one for VG33erGazelle

@ 86 200sx
I made that one as well, but the illumination makes it too pricey to produce in my garage

i do have it in a much larger size, however i am already working things out to get these made with keith...
SC S12May 31, 2010, 4:29 am · #41

demonic s12Jun 1, 2010, 12:08 am · #43

ill take two in black, if you get the entire thing, including silvia, in fact...

SC S12Jun 1, 2010, 9:16 pm · #44
demonic s12ill take two in black, if you get the entire thing, including silvia, in fact...

i have the shop cleaning up the last bit of the decals today... il get one made for myself and then see how it looks being solid and not Dot Matrix like the OEM

also i will see the price i think it would be on par with keiths.. but i am not sure as of yet
Also for the Silvia just hit up keith, i will not make them unless he either runs out or oks it for me to make it as i did just use his decal as the template for my plates
SC S12Jun 17, 2010, 9:56 pm · #45

86 and demonic
i will be gone for the next week, so ill get yours sent out when i get back...

XanoJun 18, 2010, 9:26 am · #48

Im gonna move this to product advertisement, since you've started producing them for a number of members.

SC S12Jun 29, 2010, 4:54 pm · #50

But i have to redo the fonts, they were still too jagged to cut

All Decals also have to be Normal the shop wont cut reflective
