Sorry Amir. I left you a message at NASAforums. I've just boxed them up with about 6 other orders. I had to order more white vinyl....

Please let me know when you get them please. I'd also like some feedback as well. I want to make sure you're happy with them. If for any reason you aren't, let me know...

1) Would it be possible when people order multiple pieces to do them in a batch job such that they're all on a single decal in a row? For those of us without any creativity who just put them all in a row, it would make it easier to align multiple images if they were all connected at the time of application.

2) You might want to just pencil in on the back of each decal which end is traditionally "up". I know it doesn't really matter of course but people are used to seeing a track layout in a particular orientation but may not remember off the top of the head what that is when going to apply the decals.

3) Also regarding the 2nd item: you might want to offer them as a reverse image because if they are applied to the inside of the window, once you go outside of the car to check your handiwork, you realize all your pictures are backwards!

Just a couple thoughts. Otherwise great work, thanks! Here's a picture of my backwards application (sorry battery in camera wasn't charged so I used phone):

I'm glad you liked them. Also, I greatly appreciate the feedback. I can and have done them in one line. I've had several people ask for them that way and I will ask that from now on to ensure folks get it who want it.

I've started to write on the transfer tape what track they are to help align them. I found this an issue too when I tried to put more on my car.

Also, reverse is possible. Again, I'll ask since I've done them that way for several folks. It's great to have them reverse so that you can put them inside the window.

I appreciate the picture too. Once I get the website built, do you mind if I use it?

Thanks,

Levent

The most I've had to cut for one person is 10 tracks. Mine only has 5. I'll hopefully add another 2-3 this next season.

Got mine last week, thank you sir! Won't have a chance to put them on the car as it's getting the 20B rebuilt. Hopefully next week or two!

I'm glad you got them. Let me know how the sizes are going to be for you. If you need anything changed, let me know.

Yup, I've recently started on:

http://www.trackdecal.com

I'm just getting started though, so it's not very special. I've got a list of the tracks on the bottom with an email request form for additional ones. I'll put your on my list to get done.

Also, I just completed this for a customer:





The rotors, numbers, class, RX-8, Mazda Contingency are all clear static backed and what I put together for him. They are removable and great for Autocross. The static backing is clear and can barely be seen.
