RX Christmas Gifts

I'm moving into a new house in December and it will be my first non-apartment dwelling. And that means...GARAGE! HELL YES! Anyway...I was thinking of having family and friends buy me cool RX related decor for the walls for Xmas gifts. Where is the best place to find this kind of stuff...anywhere besides eBay?

Congrats on the new house!

Ebay is definitely your friend for stuff like this.

Thanks, Jedi ^


Anybody have one of these? They look cool, but I'm not sure about the quality.

So long as it survives the shipping the quality is good. You can see mine in this PIC
I also have one of these clocks.

Is .063" the thickness of the RX-8 sign? That seems REALLY thin for $45. And did you get a replacement for the damaged one?

The ' 8 ' had a slight bend in it, not a big deal so I kept it. I would just request rigid packing.

What do you use to cut something like this? I would think you would need a CNC machine to get smooth curves and edges.
