Ok guys, I'm sorry I have neglected this thread for so long. My daughter was born 4/13. She made it through her first surgery, but things have been a bit rough. She's stable, but just not making the necessary improvements to be able to get her chest open and wake her up. She's pretty much in a drug induced coma of sorts right now.

Back to the matters at hand. I'm speaking with another shop and they're working on a quote for me right now. They sell different stripes right now that incorporate fades in them, kind of like the Saleen ones, so he said it would be no problem. He may even have the possibility to do matte, but I'll have to have a few more people interested to make that happen. If he comes back with a good price, for my first order it will be just gloss white and gloss black.

Thanks for the update, Steve.
Don't sweat the delay, family comes first.

Hopefully this new graphics shop will cut us a good deal.

I just wanted to pass my wishes on to you and your family and quick recovery for your daughter. I can somewhat relate as my son was born almost 4 months premature and was in the hospital for 2 before whe could bring him home. It was the toughest thing I've experienced in my life but today you could never tell and he's doing great. Best of luck to you!

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Actually, at this point, I'm doing what ever I can to keep my mind off of things. As we speak, they are starting her on ECMO because she's not improving. So anything I can do to distract myself is good. I got my quote back today, and went ahead and ordered. I'm not sure, I may need to go up to $60 shipped for you guys. I'll have to crunch the numbers, and find out shipping costs, etc... I haven't even figured out how to ship them yet. But I should have them in hand in the next week or two.

Just said another prayer for her.

That's great news on the stripes. $60, give or take a few $ is fine by me. I'm sure some sort of a tube would be the best way to ship 'em.

I just ordered shipping supplies. I got 8" x 8" x 5" boxes to put them in. They wanted like $5 a tube for tubes long enough. I figure this way I can loosely roll them. I also got click-n-ship labels, so I can look all professional

Again, my apologies for taking so long. My daughter passed away on May 5th, and we've had a lot going on since then. Also, my sign guy's wife was very sick. I spoke with him the other day and he was just finishing them up and he'll be getting them to me very soon. With fingers crossed, we might someday see these on a car.

I would like to say that I am truly sorry for the loss of your daughter.
I am sure she is in a better place now.

I'm very sorry, Steve.

My brother lost a child @ 5 months. God eventually blessed him with another. I hope He does the same for you.

Steve, I know you're counting on me as a sale, but I'm just not sure how much longer I can hold out. I really don't want to buy a different set because I like your design better than anything else out there.

Maybe you'll get some good news before I make the purchase. I figured I owed it to you to make you aware before buying another set.

I think I've been officially screwed by this sign guy. I checked on another board and he had good reviews. He made a few excuses, and in the past 2 weeks I've sent 3 emails with no response. If I don't hear from him by next Thursday, I'll go down to a local shop and have them made. I found one that should be able to do it. Just sucks that I already paid that guy $400. I'll let you guys know by next Thursday. I'm so sorry it has taken this long. If the equipment wouldn't cost me $2500 I would've just bought the stuff to make them myself.

** Edit **
I found out he's a sponser on a Magnum board I belonged to when I had my Magnum. I logged in and was going to make a post to try to get him to respond. I signed into his website so I could see when I had ordered them, to be accurate in my post. Low and behold, the status has changed to shipped. So apparently they are on their way. Now just cross your fingers, toes, and anything else you have to cross that they look good.

Wow, I truly hope you didn't get scammed. If that happens to be the case please let me know so I can help do something about it. I feel that we are all in this together, stand or fall.

I did some research on other boards, where he's a vendor. For the most part, the complaint is that until you make a threat, you don't get your product. It seems as soon as you send an email or make a post threatening turning him into the BBB or having your bank reverse the charge, he sends your stuff. From what I've read, it also seems that the products are good quality, when you actually receive them. So lets hope for the best. I know he's had mine completed for at least a month, because that's about when he said he had them and would next day them to me. I don't know what their deal is, but apparently that's their M.O.

Don't do business with revolution-motorsports.com. I sure won't in the future.

I had to edit my comment here because I got them confused with another company with a similar name. I still am familiar with Rev. Some have had problems with them, but they are still a vendor over @ srtforums. Sorry for the confusion to those that read my post prior to this edit.
