Question N/A stickers

Just wondering if anyone knows of anything like this in exsistance or if there would be interest in buying them if they were availible?

This is a 60 second paint scetch so don't rip on it other than design wise. It would/will be better when produced. (would happen at a professional shop if I made them)

Let me hear anything you have to say.




btw, I'm posting this here because this is the only section I visit and its not really a vendor issue yet.

I'm thinking about making these as a joke more than anything. They'll be high quality window stickers, (inside of glass) I forgot to mention that.

Big time, some people might confuse you with high horsepower n/a power plants. Remember we have 6-ports, you only have 4.

I'll probably correct the scetch on my next study break, but there will be a band around the "n/a" just like on the "original" stickers these mock. Hopefully Holly has better things to do than sue poor college students for copyright infringing mockery of their trademarks.

Did it now instead. This is pretty much the idea anyway.

Any comments on how it could be better?

We're talking about like $5 a pair here. (stickers are expensive to make)

I personally like the nos theme because it mocks all the idiots who think they're fast because they run a 50 shot ontop of a 110hp motor and think they rule all and have a sticker to prove it.

There are plenty of guys who will/could school my *** on and off the bottle, but I like this joke.

If I get a design that would be as easily produced I might consider it as well. Feel free to post anything. I'm going to hook up with the same rep who makes stickers for the aviation dept at school and see if they can swing me a deal. The aviation banners are 1.5"x11" or so and in 3 color costing them about $3 a piece to produce. So these should be like 3"x5" or so and cost about $2 to make. (I spoke with the people who were ordering their stickers about this a year ago and that was roughly the prices)

Net profit on 2 stickers = 50 cents after postage and envelopes...

(Retail price - Cost to manufacture) x 100 = HP increase due to addition of sticker

So solving for HP depends on how much I charge for them. Would you like the 15 hp version or the 25? Maybe if your wallet can handle one, you'd like to go for the 5000hp model?

20 minutes, tops. That's just an edited version of the actual NOS logo stolen from the Holley website.
But I like it except the orange.
I left is as close to the real thing as possible, so it's a bit more stealthy. I'd write N/A instead of NA though.
