^^I will do one. Waiting for the current ones to go to print and then McNord is testing some new artwork that he wants to offer as well...
I should have the gauge pages back up by tomorrow evening but it will be a SHORT GP (to get all ordering taken care of and printing started before the end of the month).

UPDATES: So, the company I was excited about is just going to take longer than I would like. Still going through with it but it will be months before they get my parts off the ground, in process but will be awhile.
In the meantime I have been using a local guy to do them on limited runs (referring to the shaker hood, tweeter pods, working now on valances, working soon on my 2010 SS spoiler and eventually the bumpers).
Seems like less of a hassle to just pay for another three months than to quit and start back in three months.
So, either I would quit, not want to start back and no problem...
Quit, want to start back and be a hassle...
Don't quit and just phase out over the three months...
Don't quit and the stars align and I get to keep using other people's money to make cool stuff for our cars...
I'm going to keep paying and just try to hash it out with other vendors and see if we can't work out better systems on some stuff.
McNord and I have been trying (for months) to work out a system where gauge overlays can be a permanent thing. Order form always up and a certain time of the month orders just get processed. Only issues are the company he used to work for, their scheduling, the fact that he has to continuously deal with the people who let him go, etc....
Anyways, just one of may situations where a product can be here today gone tomorrow, back again or just gone.
Regardless, I just don't want anyone to think it is a marketing ploy to sell more of something. I WISH IT WAS, I could be banking right now... for example I get 5 times the request for valances I used to. It isn't a gimmick though, the vendor DISAPPEARED and NO ONE makes these now. I'm trying to get them made again but having to start from scratch.
My business and most of the businesses of the people I get products from always thought it was temporary so it isn't just me deciding to adjust and move forward or throw in the towel and lead sane lives again...
Anyways, just trying to put it all on the table...

^^And the update to that is don't quit and see what happens... I'm on here for at least another 6 months (just went ahead and payed in full to take a little stress off, I don't have to be on here selling to make next month's sponsor fees now they are already accounted for).
I am still trimming the fat of the product line and going to try to figure out how to balance stuff.
Items I know I will continue to offer:
ALL ABS stuff...
ALL hoods and spoilers...
Rims...
Seats...
Double DINs...
Items we're in the process of making permanent:
Gauge Overlays...
Everything else is in the air...
Still selling off some inventory as well (one red gauge overlay, exhaust tips, billet grilles, etc...).
