But let's start the conversation. Anyone interested in a Ft86Club decal for Ottawa? I have approached the Vancouver club this morning as theirs is probably the best one I have seen so far. I have asked for their supplier and if we have decent numbers we can bring the costs down. ZN 86 also has a couple of cool ones that might work.

yes.
i ordered one of the basic ones from ZN86 but not sure if ill even put it on the car. an ottawa specific one would be more likely.
at a decent price id buy one anyway even if it never goes on the car

How much are they? My company has a print division so I could get these priced and made up.

Not sure yet Andre. I think its a numbers thing. The more commitment we have, the cheaper it gets on a per unit basis. I am more concerned with who did the artwork. Have you seen the vancouver decal? It's pretty cool. My thought, rightly or wrongly is how hard would it be to change it from Vancouver to Ottawa. I'll see if Dajo gets back to me. Cool that you have a print division at your office though. Start making friends with them. LOL

I was going to say, a local Ottawa place would eliminate the shipping hassles.
Let's see what Slick comes up with.
I'd buy a set

If Dajo has the working files and font (Mac), I should be able to make the change. If they can only give us a final hires, I can search for the font, or we can use a new similar font for all.

I'd snag a couple since there's no "South Eastern Ontario chapter" to speak of...

Edit: That Vancouver one is nice. Not too flashy, and it's clean. I like it.

What are the dimensions for their logo?
Or approx. what size do WE want?
That particular version of their logo seems too tall, would think that something 10"w x 2"h would be better. (like below)

I can get it priced out at least based on dimensions and colours (2).

Hi All,

Been lurking the forums for a little while during the lease application/ordering process and now since my order was confirmed early this week, I've decided it's time to join in the discussion with you guys...

My lady and I are expecting a Raven FR-S, MT later this month.
I'd been keeping an eye on the FR-S since last summer and now that my pos Cavalier decided it wanted to give me a bunch of fuel system/ignition problems, it was time.

Brought the girlfriend to Tony Graham and when I saw the look on her face when I showed her the car I was thinking about, I knew she was in.

Luckily, we've always more or less agreed on most looks-related car issues (we tend to both like the same cars looks-wise, she likes black paint & tinted windows - like me), she liked the look of the car and the sales guy did a good job helping me keep her convinced that a RWD, MT car was the way to go...

Anyways, I'm looking forward to getting the car and eventually meeting up with you all!
Until then, I'm anxiously counting down the days and obsessively checking my phone for calls/emails from my sales guy at Tony Graham

Congrats! How long did they say the wait would be?

Applied for lease: Sat Feb 23
Approved for lease: Mon Feb 25
Call from manager to confirm dealer allocation of the car & verify colour choice: Mon Mar 4

Email from sales guy yesterday (Thu Mar 7): "We have located your Black FRS and it is just leaving Vancouver . We anticipate it being here by late month barring any delays."

I know they've got to be deliberately vague, otherwise I'd be stalking him from outside his office window - I'm hoping "late month" is one of those under-promise and over-deliver type scenarios...

Slick · 03-08-2013, 10:55 AM

If it is leaving Vancouver now, probably a week for transport, a few days in Toronto and then shipped to Ottawa. Should be 2 weeks or under.

Congrats and welcome!

My TGS sale guy was Cory - nice guy!

I ordered Dec 29, 2012 - they told me on the last Monday in Jan that the car was in Vancouver and would be in town in a couple of weeks - turns out it was on their lot at the time of the call. I picked my Ultramarine FR-S this past Monday - the delay was all on me - had to clean out the garage to house it until the snow/salt is gone

I bet your car will be here very soon
