Poll.. Graphic installations from AC

Trying to get a feel of how many would be interested in graphics at the Dragon this year.

Suggestions on places to set up a tent and a link to the schedule would be great

I've been wanting to get a roof graphic of BatBoy done for my car.... If somebody could find me a high enough res image of him I'd sure appreciate it....



And yeah, I'd have it done at the rally.

Definitely interested. No idea on the tent though (it'll be my first time there).

There is a big parking area in the middle of the resort. Last year Helix and another installer set up tents there. I'm sure you could set up beside them. I would bet if you came even with a limited amount of pre-booked clients there would be alot of on-site interest. I'm sure boot, hood and side stripes would do well there(impulse buys). Some kind of "MINIs on the Dragon 2006" sticker would be great. Last year I saw quite a few spontaneous pulley and other mod purchases so I'm sure you would have the same response.
I would get boot stripes but I already got them from you. They're perfect

Anyone wondering about his graphic quality, don't...it's awesome.

I hope to see you there.

That's scary

I would love to do that as a roof graphic

Just look for a past issue of something like Star Magazine. If I can scan an image, I can make it work.

MINI Monkey,
Glad you like the graphics I sent you. Feel free to send a pic my way anytime. If I can pitch a tent and leave it there for the event than that would be ideal. I'm working on getting one that would work like a garage with 4 closed walls.

It looks like I might have enough interest but I still want to make sure. Coming from AZ will be a pricey adventure.

dragonflyer, you'll definitely need an enclosed area. there are no garages for use by guests, including vendors, at the Fontana. There is a big parking lot in front of the community center, which as mentioned, was used last year..however, rainstorms can be fierce up there.
Just a heads up....

There was a graphic installer at the second Dragon. He used the Fontana's entrace overhang to the main lodge when it rained. Of course he was also staying there.

I want a color jessica rabbitt graphic on the boot. ideal i like to have the black stripes on the boot with either the right or left black stripe with "Jessica" on the stripe. I've seen a lot of window type outlined jessica rabbitt decals, but nothing really in color. Any help with this would be great, if someone was at the Dragon that could do this I would consider taken advantage of the opportunity.

Bring lots of center caps. Looks like a great impulse buy!

My roof is from AC in DC.

I'd like to get a classic wide white racing stripe on the center of my bonnet, continuing over the grille elements and down the bumper. Probably match it on the boot as well. I'd be in if you could make this happen.

Well it looks like I have enough interest so that is good

I need to see about seting up a large tend for the weekend at the lodge and I need a schedule. then I can start figuring out some time slots for installs.

This will be great! I will be able to pay for my trip out there and drive my VTEC Monster on the Dragon.

You might be able to talk people into bringing a couple of tents with them as things might get crowded in one car. I have one we use for tailgating and I think we have a couple of side flaps for it as well. Let me know.

I'll PM you to get things going.

I have been thinking about some bonnet stripes for a while now. This might be a good time to get them :-)

Rough and dirty, but what does the peanut gallery think of this? And what would it cost for a sunroof only clingon?

Wicked cool! $155 for the sunroof static cling. Although I have never used it on a window, so I'm not sure how well it works. Perforated vinyl is the same price and is just as easy to install and remove but is semi permanant so you can't re-apply it.

Cheers!
