I think the first one would look a little better if you centered the 86 logo in the space above the line. It just looms too high. Id buy one like that.

I'd like the shift knob design with day of bought :thumbsup:

I think #3 is the best one but I think if it had an 86 logo or 86 piston logo at the bottom that would be cool

Love stone's end of the world brew.

Wow! Lots of feedback on the first day. I'll try to address questions the best I can!

Thank you!

I'd love to release pricing information, but there are two factors that prevent me from doing so. First, I haven't created an optimized cycle for these yet. That basically means I don't know how much time I'll be putting into each set, and how much fabrication costs are, but I'll be working over the next few days to get them as low as possible. Secondly, the forum rules specifically prohibit vendors from discussing pricing in a thread like this. Once pricing becomes available, I will post up that information in the vendor forum, where it's allowed.

I love the administration here so far and I'd like them to love me too, so I'll be doing my best to keep my posts in this specific sub-forum as non-commercial as possible. It's just a feeler to make sure I'm making a product that everyone wants, and not something I think you want.

I can definitely do that for you! Once pricing is available, I'll post it in the commercial forums. I'll do my best to keep you up to date on when that will be as well.

I like he shift pattern one and maybe "Toyota 86" in place of the Sunday 28th map writing.

Toyota 86 is definitely a great idea!

Per the above replies, I can't post pricing information here. They will be in the "stocking stuffer" pricing range if that helps? I can't post a specific price here, sorry. :(

The engraving of the 86 logo needs to be thicker (deeper & wider).
Any chance of enamelling the 86 logo in either black or red like genuine 86 badges?
Can you machine the little kick out bits on the upper left corners of the holes on the 8 and 6?

I was thinking the same thing. The problem is some people prefer really light laser like etching, and others prefer deep engraving. I prefer deep engraving, but I'm a machinist so my opinion is pretty biased.

I don't have any experience with enamel but so many people have been requesting it I think I might need to give it a go.

What do you mean by machine out the kick out bits? You want them to go all the way through the metal to the plastic underneath?

How much for protoss on the square for my car

Glad to see another Starcraft fan! I don't think I'll be offering any Blizzard paraphernalia, but if you want something personalized feel free to shoot me a PM or e-mail once they're available for purchase. I'd be glad to make a custom plaque for you!

Per the above quotes, I'm not allowed to post pricing information in non-commercial forums, but the pricing will be very reasonable. I've been looking around at other metal coaster manufacturers and I should be able to meet or beat their pricing when it's all said and done!

Interested in date and build number combo.

I'll get some installed photos ASAP!

By date and build number, you want the date of purchase on top and the build number below it? That can definitely be done!

Coasters are sic looking! :thumbup:

Just noticed the Stone Brew in the background, you in SD county?

I'm thinking the "unit" might have been a bad idea. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm closer to Disneyland, but I love driving down to visit Stone's brewery, it's an amazing place! An 86 meet there would be pretty awesome :D

Custom is always an option. I encourage it! Doing the same old designs gets monotonous for me. I love when people ask for unique designs!

Love it! Lots of Protoss people here. Toss will definitely be the race to play in Heart of the Swarm. The mass recall of the Mothership Core is soooo useful, and I love Oracles.

Thanks for the input! I can always make minor changes like that easily.

Definitely. I might try to make it so you can choose FR-S/86/Piston and other options, like adding toppings to a pizza. Not sure how I'd implement it on our website yet.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful feedback! Everything posted here will help in developing the final product so I can make something everyone will be able to enjoy.

Totally agree. I called in sick from my Internet Security class to drive down to San Diego just to pick some up. It's delicious!

Tim_Asphalt_FRS 11-26-2012 03:02 AM

I really like the 86 logo w/ the VIN#. Any chance of doing the GT-86 logo from the EU models?

I mean the 'skid marks' in the upper left corner of the 8 and 6 'holes'. They would only be as deep as the rest of the engraving/etching.

Ah I see. That might be something I can do!

lbroskee 11-26-2012 04:06 AM

if you keep coming out with such great stuff i'll never be able to buy any mechanical mods after my exhaust!! (would def replace the plastic one i got from ebay with this)

whaap 11-26-2012 08:07 AM

Thanks for the response. It looks like you hit the nail on the head. I agree that deeper, thicker cuts would look a little better.

Maik L 11-26-2012 10:20 AM

...and maybe color would be a good idea. perhaps from the red interior :iono:

raul 11-26-2012 11:22 AM

Great ideas overall! I like em. However, sorry to poop on your designs, but your 86 logo isn't up to snuff. You're missing the blur streaks to to the left at the top of each number opening. Like so:

SPEEDGOD 11-26-2012 03:00 PM

I'd like one just with the 86 logo centered, how much is it for one? Thanks
