Yup look great. Like the fact they don't have a circle around them, I was worried how that would look, worries are gone.

I was too, I'm very happy with the turn out. I also had fears about some bs company logo, or trademark logos, but no, they're nice and clean.

They're all boxed up and ready to ship. A few more guys need to send their addresses, the ones I have will be shipped out tomorrow at lunch.

Normally I'd be on this like a fat kid on a cupcake, but it would be kinda dousche-ish for me to put mine in while you and the other guys have to wait for me to ship them, so…

That being said, the guys that sent me their info last night and this morning, your lights shipped out around 11am pacific time. I'll send you all PM's with costs tracking and customs numbers.

I think someone would need to photoshop the 8th day with some color, a chromed out look like the V logo, wouldn't be hard though.

i think it would come out looking like the brushed aluminum look the 8th day crest has. should be a simple thing since the v logos came out so crisp. im willing to take the chance

If it captures the brushed look it would be ok, I just think it lacks detail that could be added, a slight bevel with maybe with a slight blue tinge overlay to give it a bit extra.

Give me a bit and I'll see what I can come up with, then put it to a vote.

I just got my cadillac from China, it looks good, but not quite as crisp as the V ones at the same distances.

12"

24"

~36"

Mind you that's not on a white surface and the lighting is obviously different.

Here's a quick monochromatic rendering

Could also do it with warm colors below the horizon line to give it more of a chrome effect.

It's too bad the original pic is pixelated. If anybody has a high resolution pic, I can spend more time on it and come up with a sick chrome one.

Those are just quick renderings, give me some time and I'll clean it up and come up with something cool. Needs to be a little more subtle on the color and a little more fluid with the chrome.
