Anyone have an idea where to get a new hood bonnet scoop? Mine flew off last night crossing the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn, New York. Is it common? Besides the look, what damage will be done to my car if I drive for a few days without it? Thanks.

Good luck with your new venture, Thompson.

TSR53 · #8 09-13-2006, 09:08 PM

Thanks for all the kinds words everyone. Yes, this is exciting news and fun too. I have loads of goodies in the works - stay tuned in

.

Regards,
Thompson

ps Vance, my niece said she saw you buzzing around South Lake Tahoe with the prototype badges all on the back! Great!

Nice badges Thompson. I was wondering if you were going to do the CROC one with the crocodile on it

Last time I talked to Aaron from Outmotoring.com, he mentioned he was going to start selling them. Might want to give them a jingle.

Yes, should be up soon on the site.

Awesome badges. I didn't see Dark Silver / Black? Did I just miss it.

TSR53 · #13 10-06-2006, 11:17 AM

I'll try to get the DS / Black roof uploaded this weekend. Thanks for the inquiry.

tc4653 · #14 10-07-2006, 08:09 AM

Can you do shirts with any badge for your listed costs?

HowardC · #15 12-01-2006, 11:39 PM

Will Liquid Yellow and Black be available soon?

**Mark** · #16 12-02-2006, 08:01 AM

Kewl Auto Art has changed its business focus and has left the site as a vendor. That said there is a vendor coming to the site very soon that should be able to provide grille badges. Thanks!

Plus, you have to give them props for coming up with the idea of doing magnetic badges.

Good-Karma · #20 12-12-2006, 04:43 PM

My bad. I'd just never heard of doing magnetic badges (at least in the context of doing them as grill badges) before the Motoringbadges folks.

I just assumed that doing them as 'grill' badges was their idea.

I agree, what's on the badges is what makes all the difference.
