Need opinions on two new items we're developing! - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just a thought, I think attaching felt to the bottom of the coasters would be beneficial since they're made of of a material that could easily become cold enough to ruin it's own functionality by encouraging condensation of the coaster itself.

Will have to keep an eye on the development of both of these products, looking good so far.

Hentaicle · 11-26-2012, 11:58 PM

So do these coasters actually fit into the cup holders in the car? Or are these just regular coasters for home?

DarkReign · 11-27-2012, 12:06 AM

Love the designs. How about adding Hachi Roku in either english or hirigana on the right side plaque options?

Grip Ronin · 11-27-2012, 12:16 AM

If there are enough people willing to do a group buy of some sort, I could have a small batch anodized or powder coated red or black. Optimistically I'd like to offer both colors as an option since I love both!

I'll take that into consideration. Add blur streaks.

I'm not allowed to post pricing up in this forum, but they will make great stocking stuffers!

Already on it sir! I've actually decided to go with a cork backing. It's a little bit classier and should be more durable, and it's only a little bit pricier than felt.

I haven't tested to see if they'd fit in the cup holder area, but I'm sure I could make a smaller/larger version to fit if people wanted.

Love it! I used to put "Yonehara"(my last name. Hence, 'Yo'speed) in Kanji on all of my products, but people would always ask what that "wierd Chinese stuff" meant.

DarkReign · 11-27-2012, 01:48 AM

Could also use the numerical Kanji for "86" if space becomes a factor...

mattles · 11-27-2012, 01:51 AM

6spd shift pattern with a solid line, then under it first86# OR vin# would be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

AsphaltLover · 11-27-2012, 01:55 AM

simple 86 logo with some red coloring to match a little better.

id buy the shit out of both of those.

Nardi330 · 11-27-2012, 02:35 AM

amazing items but no love for us with heater switches....

Andyx5044 · 11-27-2012, 04:02 AM

looks amazing.. can you PM me an estimate on the price?

Chinadian · 11-27-2012, 08:55 AM

pretty sick

Nevermore · 11-27-2012, 09:34 AM

I'll be keeping on eye on these. I really like the coasters and the console plaques. Not too picky on the designs, although I have an automatic so I couldn't use the shift pattern one.

Areddi · 11-27-2012, 09:52 AM

I would definitely be interested in one of the plaques. Excited for pricing information and what (final) designs you'll be able to do.
