Anybody have any idea if Xenonmods.com are just out of stock, and as such, removed the Mustang decals from their site? Does anybody know of another source of brake caliper type decals?

Thanks!

 

wow, i would shoot them an e-mail and ask, i am glad i bought mine already

 

This was asked on other forums after I spoke of mine, so I contacted them.

Here's is a copy of my recent corespondence with them:

Hey there,

I've been telling everyone how great a deal your Mustang caliper decals
are, with the 4 different option per package, and no one can find them
on your site.
Did you discontinue them?

Thanks,

Jim

Their response:

Hi Jim - well it works like this. I, along with many other sellers, have
gotten stopped by Ford/Volvo/Jaguar of selling items with their
trademarks on them.

So, I can't sell a set of the Mustang caliper decals like I used to.

I am working on a way to legally get around the trademark issue, for
instance making a "custom text" section of my caliper decal page so
people can order whatever text they want, including "mustang". As far as
the actual pony logo goes, man oh man - that's gonna be a hard one but I
think I can maneuver around that too.

I'm going to be in talks with their attorneys within the next week about
it all, so don't lose hope. I may even be able to get licensed to sell
them again the way that I was and just pay royalties. I may have a
strong case since caliper decals aren't products that Ford/Volvo/Jaguar
sell anyway.

I'll post something on my caliper decal page for everyone to see.

thanks!

Another company bitten by Ford.

 

Bussiness is bussiness...

 

I still don't get Ford's thinking on this. Aftermarket drives vehicle sales. Maybe not in 500's and Fusions, but most definitely in Mustangs. They're shooting themselves in the foot.

 

Copyrights are difficult to maintain. If you don't protect them and their usage you can loose all legal control. (bad uses as well as the good). Most aftermarket sellers that use an unlicensed trademark know it's only a matter of time until they get a cease and deceit order from the owner.

 

Then Ford should license merchandise at little or no cost, depending on the item, just to maintain quality control.
