Welcome to the club Justin
Galaxy grey is a more common color but I still like it... my 07 Miata was that color. Hope you can come out this weekend to watch and mingle or drive with us. I have no access to FB at work but I'll add you in once I get home (or nab can do that).

irracecar, just send a request and I'll accept it when I get home.

I went to try and print our logo today. Metrotwon wasn't able to do it (it's too detailed). I worked with the guys at blitzgear to simplify it and they can print it in 6" x 6". I haven't got their exact quote yet but to order 10 would be much much cheaper so I've ordered 10 of them and will be selling it at face value. They have also saved a copy so if we run out and you guys want more, you can go there directly and get them printed.

Logo Printing Update

I may have a solution on producing the logo. If possible I like to print it on 2.5" x 3" laminate. I will post result when ready.

I'm waiting to see if anyone else can have it printed in a smaller size before I order from my guy. Keep in mind that stickers can be printed smaller but we want an applicator type decal. VChiu keep us up to date.

hey ben on a side not remember when we talked about getting some sort of paper made up for people to join the group on facebook that if we saw somebody with an rx8 we would give them a flyer/paper to join or put it on their windshield...we should get something like that made up as well!

Good, hope you can find the right solution. I've had blitzgear email me a couple of times asking if we want the decals... I have been ignoring them.

And once we print the logo, I'll use it to make the flyers that Nab is talking about.

Ok - I got the logo printed on Avery Window Decal 03276, using regular ink-jet printer. I learned if you use solid color and solid lines, it will turn out fine.

The photo is not as sharp as the actual decal. If we could use a 1200 dpi ink-jet printer to output the logo it will turn out really sharp.

Personally I will not like to have a 6" x 6" decal on my car. Vinyl stickers are really strong. It will leave a mark on the window. The Avery Decal will not leave mark, it sticks on well and it's cheap!

The current design is 3" x 3". I modified the logo to fit the print method. I separated the text from the logo to make it stands out. Hope you like it.
