Your thoughts .. . .
Nov 27^th, 2009 at 8:33am

Since I'm not selling to anyone here, what are your thoughts?
I added this to my truck today. Trying to get more word out but keeping it very low profile. Not my style to plaster my pickup with stickers but here ya go.

I'm thinking of adding to left and right of the text a simple sailboat outline in white.

I will be removing the factory Made in USA sticker on the right.

This can be read about 3 car lengths away. 2 inches high lettering.

To me, a sailboat etching on the glass would be classy and be subtle at the same time. It would be classier than two sailboat stickers on each side of the lettering.

Just my opinion...

no decision yet. I have not seen anything I like yet.
The link you provided was good but they did not give details on what happens. Just print your pattern and etch it!

I have been fiddling with the email thing a bit and so far nothing works. I wonder if it has to do with the settings admins and mods have that are different from regular users.
