Axelay Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Had some people inquire about whether or not I could do a new batch of these decals, so here we go. If you've been here on Macrossworld long enough, you may remember a batch of these which I created back in 2005. I have just created a new batch of 60 and have this afternoon replaced my prototype which was on my car's rear windshield. After 6 years in the sun (no garage, by the way), my decal had finally started to discolor a bit. I've been quite impressed with how well these held up, and this new batch is the exact same quality. Here's the original which was applied in 2005. And here's the new one applied today. These apply to the inside of your car's (or even display case's) glass surface and so they are protected from the elements. (Just be sure to not put it on the rear defroster!) The bubbles which you may see in the new decal do take a few days to "cure" once applied, but then they completely disappear. It's a lot like putting a screen protector on your phone. Here's a close-up of the first one peeled from the sheet before being applied to my car. These are super glossy. I am asking $10 per decal plus $1 for shipping and handling. I am not asking a single penny more than I did back in 2005, as these really have been a labor of love for me. Hopefully people who purchased them back in the day will agree that these are worth it. Payment methods include PayPal, personal check via snail mail, or money order via snail mail. If you are interested in owning one or more of these decals, please reply here to this thread. Once I see a reply from you, I will contact you via PM so that you can send your mailing address via email. Please don't put your mailing address in this thread. I have a special Gmail account set up for that so that I can make sure that I won't overlook anyone. I am going to keep a running tally of the numbers reserved since I only have 60 to offer. I already have some people in my area who have asked for one, and I am intending to once again send one for free to Graham and Shawn for their leadership of this great site. Decals will be sent in a medium-sized manila mailing envelope. I would prefer to send out all of the decals simultaneously, so I hope to do this after all 60 are spoken for. I will let you know as soon as your payment has arrived and your decal is on its way. If you have any questions, please send me a PM. Thanks! 1. Graham 2. Shawn 3.

frothymug Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Sign me up! Question: if I want more than 1, do I just pay 1$ for shipping anyway, plus #of decals * $10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starscream Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I am highly considering one of these to cover my old long-since expired DoD decal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axelay Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Sign me up! Question: if I want more than 1, do I just pay 1$ for shipping anyway, plus #of decals * $10? Good question - I'm glad you asked this. There is no additional shipping charge for ordering more than one decal. If you want 5 of them, then you pay only $1 for shipping ($51 total).

Marzan Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi there I'd really like one myself, but would you consider shipping outside the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelay Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi there I'd really like one myself, but would you consider shipping outside the US? I'll ship anywhere you like so long as you're willing to cover whatever shipping costs above $1. (Probably not much in this case since it's just a medium-sized mailer.) If it's $0.50 or less, then I'll eat that cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehPW Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I would be very pleased to get at least 3 of the DoD-style tags for me & my GF (plus a spare), sir. And 2 UNS kites as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 PM'd - I still have one of the originals and it looks like new after years of being in my car. These are really excellent and high-quality decals. Don't miss out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I haven't quite gotten the parking pass project back off the ground yet. I haven't had much interest in it, so I've not started investigating having those printed again. Maybe if a few more people would like one, I will start investigating the cost for those. List updated as of 9/23. I have not yet sent out instructions for payment or contact information for shipping, so please continue to stand by for a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sinced tinted the windows and put in projector headlights. Edited October 3, 2011 by Chowser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelay Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 OK, the first batch has been cut, put into mailing envelopes, addressed, and is ready to go. I have sent emails to each interested person with payment info. Y'all please do me a favor and help get the word out about these. I still have many to offer...

frothymug Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I think it'd be appropriate to post pics once everyone's adhered their stickers in their car windows, or whatever. Unfortunately, I don't have a camera and my phone sucks ass. Maybe I can borrow a camera from a classmate or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossMan Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I'd like to have two of these. Would love to have them go out with tomorrow's batch, but if not it is all good.

frothymug Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I got mine in the mail today. They look sharp! I'll put them on my window as soon as I get a chance and see if I can get a good picture to post here. Thanks, Axelay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frothymug Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 You mentioned that it's not a good idea to put the stickers on the rear defroster. Unfortunately, my rear window does not have enough space to fit the sticker. It would overlap one line on the defroster. I wanted to put it in the corner, but does anyone think that this may turn into a problem down the road? Also, my window is tinted. It's not as visible as I'd like, but does anyone have the same issue with a tinted window and its visibility? I may just put it on my side rear window, since it doesn't roll down.

I had mine on the rear window of my car, in the corner and partially over the defroster, for 7 or so years and it never came loose. It may not be the same for every make/model of car, but I never had any problems on my 2000 Focus. Speaking of which, mine arrived today, thanks so much Axelay!

frothymug Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Cool, I'll go ahead and put it on there, then. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't destroy the color or warp the sticker in a noticeable way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
