(MINIBee rushes to the garage to start counting, despite the fact that he has to drive to Miami tomorrow for MTTS. The gauntlet, had been thrown.)

Hey thanks! That's my iPod Touch playing one of my Dragon videos, "Flight of the MINIBee." I call it my Dragon simulator.

I just ordered my mellow yellow MCS last week with checkered mirrors, door handles, and side scuttle. I plan to add bonnet stripes, a full checkered roof graphic, and checkered dash.

I was going to skip the doorhandles because of the installation cost but when I saw a picture of it...ooh la la!


I also really like the...the...what do you call it? The doorsill strip? Where can I get one?

^ I got my door sill plates from Aesthetic Creations. Easy to install, very high quality product. And Mike can customize them for you with anything your imagination can come up with.

I made it myself, so it's not the greatest quality. Here is a BW and a Yellow a PNG graphic file. I can convert it to another format if you want.

My sills came from there too (inspired by Blimey's). If you order them plan to give him a lot of time to make them. Apparently that doming procedure is difficult.

Is that a Peace sign grill badge? Here are some graphics on my wife's car. But that should be another thread, huh?

Yep, apparently, it is. Mike said he messed up my first set and had to do them over again. But if you're willing to wait the few weeks (3-7) it'll take him to make them, you'll be happy with the result. The doming process makes the sill plates look great.

... Doming makes them durable, too... I've had mine for quite a while now - over a year of daily driver torture and probably over 25,000 miles, and lots of kids stomping on them while climbing in and out of the car - and they still look new.

Hey guys...

Looking at vendor vinyl checkerboard decals ... Do you think the smaller checkers look better, or the bigger ones for the roof?

The big checkers make the roof look like a kitchen floor, IMO.

I went with the medium sized checkers. Like Goldilocks said... they are juuuuuuuust right.
