Anyone ever try Partsgeek.com? They have some good prices and free shipping for orders over 100 bux.

I have the same mileage issue, about 12. It does a little better on the hwy but not much. I notice a decrease during the winter months. I lose about 30 -40 miles on a tank. I'm still trying to get enough dough for manual hubs. I have done the full tune up, no codes, tires full, etc. I even tried the K&N route to no avail. I just figure it's the SUV syndrome...

I need to build a set. My factory nerf bars have done their job but are now tired. I like the idea of the 2 tubes. Nice work.

I had the same thing happen with the tards at Firestone complete auto care, when I got the new tires. They wasted 1 stud on 3 wheels and 2 on the other. Dumba$$es.

I like the way it gets me out of what I put it through and still looks good.

I would give my left nad to lift mine, but with kids..... Are you fabbing the kit yourself? If so, would you be willing to sell some patterns?

Is someone going to finally market one?

See what you can come up with on your end. These paople around here either want 40 bux each for them or they are like these last tards I tried to deal with. I have an aunt down in Texas that makes signs and banners. They have a nice facility, but I am not sure about cost of work + shipping to Oregon, then mailing them out to everyone. I just don't want the cost to be so damn high. They are only stickers for pete's sake. The shipping companies are expensive due to fuel costs and such, so I can;t blame them too much...besides what they pay the drivers. Maybe I should go work for UPS. Anywho, I will try to call my aunt and see what she can do for me. I will keep everyone informed.

apparantly their main business is printing multiple colors on vinyl. I just didn't expect a GIANT bumper sticker for my windshield. Why would it cost more for cut out lettering? is ink cheaper than a razor? or what ever the machine uses to cut them out...

They totaly misunderstood what I wanted. I told them I was looking for cut vinyl letters. They ahowed me printed vinyl. They sent me a file that is a 1:1, but the font sucks, the style is boring. The whole thing looks retarded. Like something you would buy in a kit from walmart and do yourself.

So, I went to the sign shop and looked at the proofs. They looked like SH!T. they were nothing like I explained/ sent. So, back to square one we go. I am going to sit down with them when I have more time and talk them through what we are looking for. Why is the world so full of DEE DUH DEE's? SOFAKING WEE TODD ED!

Heey, I do the same, well, not ALL day... :tonguefinger:

I will head over there Monday afternoon to peek at some proofs.

That would be cool. Good idea.

I can hear you now..."GODD..SONOFA...MOTHERF..PIECE OF SHI..." Yup, been there too.

If we were to use that one ^^^^^It would be streched . The dims are around 4x42" That one would prolly not have the border around it though.

I just got an email from the sign shop. I will be looking at proofs Monday afternoon. Hopefully she will give me something I can post. I can set up a poll at that time and see which one we will go with.

This one is from Pezzy. As soon as I figure out how to set up a poll, we can vote on the three versions. Then I can start with the purchasing some banners.

I'll see what I can do. As soon as the shop sends me the drafts, I will post them. Hopefully we find something that appeals to everyone.

next question is, do I have them made like the one on Slick's rig or the version I'm working on from Pezzy's version? Lemme know what y'all think one is just NPORA with www.nissanpathfinders.net below and the other would be like the rendition Pezzy sent me less the border. Also, the shop told me they can do colors for the same price, we'll call it under 20 bux for now, reflective is 10 bux more. I myself, will be shooting for plain ole' white letters.

SLICK!!! Where r u at? What do you have? Show me...Pleeeze... I think there are at least 5 my problem now is to figure out a fair way to include shipping in the price to keep things simple. Maybe things just don't work that way. I know the cardboard tubes are fairly inexpensive. I will not just fold them up and stick them in an envelope. I have some stickers at home with a neat little crease in them. Usless they are!!

OK, just got off the phone with the sign people. They are going to refine the design and fit it to the windshield. I asked for the graphic with no border(we are short on room due to wind. wiper interference). Anywho, the price I have so far is 20 bux USD if I only get one, it goes down to around 17USD for 5 and even less for 20, 50, 100, etc. I will post the graphic when I get it from the shop and all we have to figure out is shipping. Fair shipping...

Pezzy sent me a rendition that requires a little tweaking. this is a rough draft, it will be modified to read . net and made to fit the windshield. I plan to see if the shop will mix and match colors for quantity discount so I can offer a good price. I do not plan on making money on these. I just want to do my part to support the NPORA. I'm not sure about shipping costs though. It seems doing a flat rate tends to rip off people. But I want to be fair to everyone and try to offer them at a flat rate, shipping included. It may be tough for me to come up with the cash myself for 25 or 30 stickers. Who knows? Any ideas on the shipping issue will be appreciated.

I was planning on having an NPORA banner made at a local shop. I want to make sure I will not be stepping on anyone's toes by offering some for sale. If anyone is interested in a Banner or If I am crossing lines here, let me know. In a couple of days, I should have some pricing on quantities to see how many I need for a descent price. Again, please inform me if I am stepping on any toes.

Thanks for the IAC hint. Mine surges during warm up on cold days. Hope it cures mine.
