Thanks. I wonder why you like them so much? Could it be something to do with the fact you made them.

Every single one of the run literally went through my hands as I was the one running the engraving machine to do the artwork on them. I've got a really cool chrome-plated one I keep on my desk from that job

Marcello I made it home and installed everything and let me tell you it was a SNAP. I told the wife she should have just done it and she rolled her eyes at me. the only problem I have it with the cup holder......... it makes the rest of my IUP look like crap.
Thanks again
Mike

Mo sweat - we'll keep making more for the interior so eventually you just won't notice the rest !!

Slightly off topic, but I got my shirt. And I can actually wear it (it's 62 degrees in my neck of SC today)!

What would be the best adhesive to hold this in place without making a mess? I know these hard palstic do not like normal types of glue.

just put mine on. next to my wide-view rear view mirror, this was definately the easiest mod to install! i am very happy with the way it looks! too bad my license plate covers about half of it. should have waited a bit more to order it though. want to get one of those t-shirts, they look sweet. oh well, next time... maybe when the body-color gas lids or window switch covers come out?

MEK, or most plastic solvents will work well when used in small amounts. There are "name brand" glues that have this as an active ingredient if you look. The slower the setup time, the better the bond normally - if you use something like CA+, it bonds too fast, and can crack on a hard impact.

What would you suggest using? Name brands work good for me if you do not mind saying them.

And on another note. Do you folks have plans to make stuff for the 04-08 F-150's? I know you are very busy wiht the Mustang stuff but would love to see some things for the F-150's considering one will be added to the family soon as it arrives.

Oatey makes some good stuff, as does Weld-On Industrial Adhesives. I'm sure there are other brands that can be bought "off the shelf" but those two come to mind as some that have specific formulations for ABS / ASA resins.

On the F150 - we want to get there, but before we can expand into that market we have to have a firm footing in the Mustang market, and we have a lot of products to do for it before we can move on. We've got our 01 F350 SD DRW here that I'd love to make some stuff for, but we just have not had the opportunity yet to transfer some of our products over to the truck market.
