Looks sweet, definitely! Where did you get them made and for how much? Are they removable like our bonnet stripes?

Very nice. I like how you did it. Sort of like pilot's names on military jet aircraft. So your co-pilot's name should be on the passenger side! Also ever consider adding your name and logo engraved on a Whalen shift ****? That would be cool and the Whalens are nice.

Well... I guess you could say I'm promoting my DVD.

I run a DVD magazine called Breakvision (http://www.breakvision.com - under construction right now)

My nickname is Jivan Ivan, sorta like how DJs have their DJ names.

Breakvision is a B-Boy (breakdance) DVD magazine for the US B-Boy scene.

here's the trailer for the upcoming 2nd issue I'm working on right now:


Breakvision issue no. 2 [trailer]

I got each sticker made for $5 each and it only took 5 minutes for all of them.

Thanks Storer,

I will have my site up pretty soon, so you guys can get a better idea of what I'm doing. I actually think I'm going to take off the rain sensor sticker. It was raining today and the wipers wouldn't go on when there were lots of water on the windshield. Would this affect the sensor?

Your car does look pretty slick. Everyone will know the best breaker has shown up with all your stickers. They dont scream hey I'm a ricer and I dont even have this product on my car but I got the sticker. They're tasteful. I know some kids that would probably really like your magazine. Good luck.

Hey guys,

I got my stickers done at a local sign place here in Daly City (gtstickers.com). Thanks for the comments onetwelve -112. BK_MCS, yeah, I'm not a ricer at all, and I was afraid it would look like that, but it didn't! My website it is almost up for my Breakvision DVD. I'll let everyone know. Thanks.

You *could* take the next step and put your blood type in small letters under the front windows on both sides... rally style. Now THAT would be different!

Ivan--

I think it would affect the sensor...the sensor measures the amount of water on that patch of your windshield, and uses that data to decide whether or not to fire off the wipers for a pass. You'll notice that the wiper cleans off the sensor area during its travel across the windshield, and the process starts all over. If you've got it covered with a sticker, it probably interferes with the ability of the sensor to "read" how much water is on the windshield.

And for the record, the decals look sweet...

Thanks Scooper,

I've been waiting for someone to answer me that question. I guess I will have to take them down. I was having trouble when it was raining, down they go

How can you get a custom design or text printed?

I would like to get something simple for my back deck. I originally noticed it with Helix's "The Dog's Bollocks" sticker, but wanted to add my own message.
