Well, did you ever hear the saying that the shoemakers kids have no shoes?
The reason is because the shoemaker was too busy making shoes for paying customers.
Seriously though, those are some high quality shots of the pieces, and your pictures have prompted me to place the LOTB's on my car. And it will happen tonight, even if my kids have no shoes.....
The pictures everyone are posting are extremely good installed pics, and we appreciate it very much.
New item pictures coming tonight from the next round of GM submissions.

We have been working every day, and get a lot of questions daily. I did read your message. I only do design work, mostly on weekends, and your options list is extensive. I need for you to narrow down what you might like the best. We do not do carbon fiber at this time, as you requested.
We can do whatever design you want, but you need to have a pretty good idea of what that is. Your end cost is affected by how much time I spend designing, and redesigning something until we find something you like.
So, from a turnaround time perpective, and a cost perspective, you should pretty much know what you really need. I will look at your message again and try to somehow simplify it. BUT, I would also like a very clear indication of direction you want to go. According to your message you are not.
If you want, I will give you a quote based upon your message, and you can submit payment, then we will begin design and manufature of your piece. Is this ok? Let's just narrow this down a bit, and you will be fine as long as carbon fiber is not a requirement. I also need your email address as I asked for earlier. There will be a lot of pictures going back and forth, and Pm's just don't work for that.
Thanks, Roger

The stock WS6 emblems are not a carbon fiber appearance. They (the letters) are actually a cleated metal under a plastic resin. Carbon fiber will not look the same. If you insist on a carbon fiber insert, I can get you a quote after I inquire on the pricing. I can tell you with absolute certainty that it isn't in high demand, and the only place I know of at the moment that sells it only sells it in 4' x 10' sheets, and they will not cut any smaller under any circumstance. I know that they charge about $300-$400 for this sheet. I am not willing to pay that with such little demand. If I can find someone who sells a reasonable sized sheet, I'll get a quote. I will make it a point to ask my suppliers about it during my next order. If I find anything out, I'll let you know.

Could you post some pics of the new and 70s bird against an area on the car so we can have an idea on relative size? Possibly the area where the LOTB badge is?

We are not exactly sure on al the prices yet, but they will be fair. I know that the intake plaques will be $20.00 each with all the logos you guys want.
The small stainless birds are intended to be used on the sail panel area "per my design", but are the right size to use in a variety of locations. Please do not hold me to a price but those will be between $25.00-$30.00 each.
The colored 70's style bird takes more time, and more work to make so it will actually be the most epensive of the group above. However, the colors practically unlimited, and could be tailored to anyones vehicle. The frame can be the silver as shown, or black mirror. It may be in the $40.00 range.
There are no OEM paint colors for this piece though.
These are only a few pieces from our next group submission to GM.

We will be offering sales like this on random items often. Just so everyone does know, they are $38.99 each for a limited time.
You have been a good customer presently and in the past for us, and we will take care of you. I promise. You will get a deal on something no one else will get.
We appreciate customer loyalty, and have no problem showing it.
