It seems my ideas become popular once people see them and decide to copy them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> What's that old expression?... "Copying is a form of flattery... blah blah blah." I hope the guy just made a set for himself and doesn't try to sell them. That would be pretty uncool.

Re: Hey Mark someone else is doing it now.

Dont feel too bad Mark.. its the way of the world.. just look at Television.. lol..

Besides, I dont like his.. too plain looking and they dont have the "retro" feel of your plaques.. plus his font for the SS isnt even right!

Can you get his with custom readings? .. are his three colors? I think you product speaks for itself.. besides, your licensed now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Did anyone happen to notice the red wire loom on the "Anti Rice Missile"? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

You don't have anything to worry about Mark. Those are horrible looking compared to your quality pieces.

Dan

Oh, and what's with the VIN# plaque? That really looks good. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Hey Mark and Andy. This is Brian, Jerry's friend. I just wanted to say that Mark, you don't have anything to worry about. That stuff looks like crap. I ordered your dash plaque a week or so ago. I also just wanted to say that you two have inspired me to do a lot of work over this winter (as long as I have the funds to implement my plans). Being a detail oriented person myself, the details in your cars is amazing. I can only hope to have my car look half as nice as both of yours.

I guess that's about the only good thing about winter; 4 months to save up some money.

Your car is pretty nice too and although it's close to stock, it's about the cleanest SOM SS I've seen. Keep up the good work.

As for the money laying around thing...
It's easy. Just take some money from your paycheck. It doesn't matter whether it's for rent, food, clothing, etc., and just hold it out in front of you. Then release it and let it fall to the ground. Then you'll have some money actually "laying around". Pick it up and go to the computer to order some cool mods for your SS. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Re: Hey Mark someone else is doing it now.

I left it stock for a year, but now that I added my chambered exhaust, many more mods are on the way. Nothing real major, but as you know, all those minor details can really add up too. I am refinancing my house soon, so that will free up about a hundred bucks a month for some nice mods. I need to add onto my garage soon too. Probably next summer.
Where is my dash plaque? I ordered it 2 weeks ago <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

No comparison Mark! Yours are Quality!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
I have had 1 of your dash plates for a few months now!
BTW, you still owe me some silver Z28 caliper stickers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> you said you would send them with my Z28 dash plate as you initially sent me an SS dash plate "remember"? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Have a good 1!
Matt.

Matt.<hr /></blockquote>Thanks for the compliment Matt! I'm really glad you like your dash plaque. They can try to copy my stuff but they'll never match the quality or 'factory' look. When I design something I always try to make it look as factory as possible which really helps to avoid the dreaded tackiness that a lot of aftermarket stuff can bring to a car. We're literally days away from having all the licensing issues with GM completed so I'll have the benefit of 'the General' going after lookalikes now that they have a financial interest in my products, especially when it comes to using GM's logos, etc.

As far as the caliper decals go... That sounds like something I would offer. E-mail me with your address and we'll get that straightened out. Sometimes my memory fails me. Old age I guess... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
