I don't really car whether it's inside or outside mounted, I was just going to keep them as a memento somewhere. If it's interior, that would be cool, and I would be willing to pay $20, but I really don't care either way.

If they are interior mount stickers, count me in for one. If I don't, it won't be long and I'll need a new windshield and my factory sticker will be a lost cause.

Actually, put me down for 2.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that, Ramy, is contacting more places to get a better price so he can make everyone happy. He'll probably have some news in a couple days.

Ok guys, I think I found a solution that'll please everyone. If all goes well, I'll be able to make BOTH the interior and exterior stickers. I'll update everyone WRT pricing very soon, but it looks like everyone should be happy

Thanks!

I'm interested too.

I tell you what I'd also like. Something comemorating the Le Mans win. If you've ever gotten in an older Lotus, they always had a door or dash plaque with wreaths and dates commemorating thier World Champion Constructor titles (Formula 1)... It's a nice "heritage" thing...

Not necessarily lookin for a plaque, but some sort of emblem/sticker etc. would be cool.

Just wanted to give you guys an update. Ramy is finalizing the sticker deal and is getting a sample too. So once he's finished with his exam he's going to post all the new information and show you guys a pic of the finished product.

Hey guys...just a head's up. I have a sample of the final copy of the sticker (pending everyone's approval ) that I'll be putting on my FB (sorry, no FD here at the moment lol). Tomorrow should be sunny, so I'll try and grab a few pics of the sticker applied on the windshield, and post 'em up here before placing the final orders.

Thanks!

great news! Can't wait to see it. Ramy, I'll be one of the few who'd like an external sticker...if at all possible.

Ok guys...I finally got some sunlight today, put the stickers on...and well, lets just say you can't see the stickers in the pictures I took LOL. I had them print the stickers on a clear (see-through) backing, and as such, there simply isn't enough contrast to be able to see the sticker clearly, especially in the face of considerable light. So I'm going to have them print me a demo of it on a white backing, try 'em out and take pics of 'em. And yes, they can be precision cut so you don't see white around the edges; you'll only see the sticker itself (no border). Cool?

Thanks for your patience guys

I'm cool with that as long as it looks as stock as humanly possible, but you already seem to have a handle on that.

Let us know....my windshield won't last forever, even though it has made it this far (13 years) and the few chips and cracks in it are going to give someday and that sticker is just icing on the cake.

I'm still down for 2 of them.

Ok guys, I FINALLY got some sun today, and took pics of the sticker. I took a ton, but a) I have no camera skills, and b) my camera sucks. This is the best pic I could get. And this pic does the sticker NO justice. The sticker looks VERY nice and high quality in person, both in your hand and when placed on the windshield. I was impressed Dunno why it came out looking a little faded in the pic, but that's photographic artifact I assure ya haha.

Unfortunately, at this point, I have neither the FD nor the FB. So I had to place the sticker on the FDNewbie Imports Transport Vehicle: the '89 Camry Wagon

PLEASE NOTE: THESE STICKERS WILL BE PRECISION CUT SO THERE IS NO WHITE BORDER AROUND THE STICKER; ONLY THE GRAPHIC IMAGE ITSELF WILL BE STICK ON. So don't worry about the white surrounding the sticker

Thanks!

Is that the interior or exterior sticker? It appears to be exterior, but I just want to be certain.

So, what's the official status, Ramy?

BlueRex? Updates?

That picture you posted is quite obviously on the outside of the car, is that how the production sticker will be?
