Again, thanks for the orders guys.

UPDATE:

Shipping date is going to be pushed back a few days.

I got a sample in today from the vendor and it was not to my liking. We've made a few tweaks and now I'm waiting for a new ETA on the whole run.

I apologize for the wait but I rather have these get to you guys a few days later in top quality, then a few days earlier and not perfect.

I'll keep you up to date.

LEFT:

33 - Windshiel Decals
19 - Quarter Window Decals

Thanks,
Dave

Have to agree 4eyes... ditto on the can't wait.
The tension... it's... killing me.
Btw, Mucci, is this a LIMITED NUMBERED run?
Wink, wink nudge, nudge... ;)

Yes sir.

The more you print, the lower the cost per unit. At the price sold, the order needs to be pretty large to just break even (figure price per decal, shipping to me, then shipping to each of you.)

For this reason there will be one run. If I were to do a 2nd run of equal size, I would probably only move 20% of them and then end up losing money and having a box full of decals laying around for years.

HOWEVER, I have gotten some feedback on people wanting interior, multi-application versions of this decal. That could possibly be something I do I run of next.

Current Count Left:

11 - quarter glass
29 - windshield

Update

I just heard from the vendor, and the order should have arrived today. However, I'm at home until Monday for the holiday.

Provided everything looks like it's supposed to, the orders should ship out by Tuesday.

I'll keep you guys posted.
Thanks,

Dave

The lot is in! The vendor came through with the updated roundel. I got rid of the gradient roundel and went with the simple block colors. Also got them to pull through with a silver metallic border / cross hairs. These look even better in person - excuse my lack of photography skills.

I'll be putting the orders together tonight and hopefully getting them all out tomorrow.

I've got over 100 orders to put together so bare with me.

Still units left of both versions! The vendor sent me a bunch of extras.

Thanks everyone,
Dave

I may turn my long decal into a square decal after seeing that pic. I like the look :)

The "windshield" decals will still fit in the quarter glass area of an e28.

But you could always buy a quarter glass too :D

The quality of this run compared to the test run photos on the e28/e30 above are probably twice as good. The metallic on the logo is actually a bit raised just like on the real emblems.

I'm going to replace the windshield decal on my e28 and take a comparison photo tonight.

Glad to see you got them! Can you tell me/us when they are supposed to arrive? I leave Florida for a month next Wednesday and would change the shipping address of one of the decals if they aren't going to arrive in that amount of time.

Thanks!

I should be getting them out tomorrow via ground shipping so they would get there before next Wed for sure.

I'll try to set it up so everyone gets a confirmation #

I just sent you a message. There was a box you missed where you were supposed to list which sizes you wanted.

One of each?

Thanks for the order,

That's great news, and thanks for the updates and pics. There have been a few occurrences since where simply pointing to the sticker would have clarified matters for some bewildered drivers sharing roadspace.

Looking forward to their arrival!

I really liked the original, but this new version takes them up quite a few notches. Good call on the silver metallic. :up:

I ordered two of each when this first was posted, but I would gladly buy more that were designed for interior windows! :banana:
Being in Minnesota - exterior stickers and ice scraper = bad news for sticker.

I have had the desire to have a number of sticker designs made, but don't really know the lingo. Would going to a printer with the terms on your first page - Die cut, vinyl etc be enough to get the ball rolling? Or is that the tip of the iceberg with lots of options in each column?

Can you elaborate on the changes that were made, reasons you didn't like the samples etc. further so I could approach a printer with a tiny bit of confidence?

Can't wait for mine too,
E
