Moderators/Admins I need your opinion!

Hi mods/admins, (wish there was a chat session so it would be easier to talk)

Its about the license plate frames for this site. I got in touch with www.btmcreations.com and they were kind enough to have all four of my designs made and put on their site

Check em out : http://www.btmcreations.com/customerpages/acura.htm

****I can't confirm one frame for 10.99 (as indicated on the site) yet so sit tight on ordering for now u people who are snooping on this post****

They only customize plastic frames, no metallic though.

Now I need your opinion on the following:
They said 50+ plates (of any 4 designs) would be a discounted rate of 10.99 per plate

However, shipping for one plate is 5.76 Fedex ground. And shipping for 50 plates is 8.44 or roughly ~0.17 per plate.

I'm sure we can get 50+, its just a matter of one BULK order or 50+ individual orders..
I can also add some more designs to include the TL bruddas! 50+ is definitely achievable.

So ideally, I would think that we would go for the individual orders so that no one single person is responsible for a bulk order and stuck with left over plates or something.

I will contact them tomorrow in the morning again and see if I can lock in the rate of 50+ individual orders for 10.99 + 5.76 shipping ...also 5.76 seems a bit steep for ground..hmm i'll get on that

I'm not B.S.ing u guys on the prices and I'm not trying to make money here, jus stating the facts man.

(just an idea) Later on you guys or Soopa can make an announcement or something on the front page
so people can buy the plates and we can all have a identity for this board! CL Bruddas UNITE! Heil yea!

On the lighter side of things, I didnt intend for them to design the Kiss my ass plates HAHA--but they did it anyways

I like #1. Don't like the ones with the hp on them because, quite frankly, 225hp or 260hp just isn't that impressive!!! Now, if we were doing this for the new 911 Turbo and you put Kiss my 415hp Ass on it... then maybe

$5.76 for shipping sounds like highway robbery to me. Shipping should be no more than $2-3. Work on that and I'd definitely be down for one!

I wonder if we are going to get lurkers and creeps who have been blown off by someone with the license plate.

How about:

www.acura-cl.com how am I driving over 150?

And don't forget California:

My other car is heating my kids!

I saw a web page called twochicks.com that made plate frames, Have you tried them for a comparison. Someone on this site had a plate that had "TYPE S" exactly like the Acura script. I contacted twochicks but at the time I thought the cost was to high; but if fifty are bought maybe they can come down on cost. I would be interested on a frame that didn't have any offensive words ie "ass" and such. I use these words quite often but for some unknown reason I just don't want them posted on my car.

yo guys,

the only design that I specifically stated for them to consider was this one:



The Kiss my ass designs were apparently in the same photopoint folder and they thought I was interested in them..
So rest assured the Kiss my ass frames are a joke and the idea came from NJType-S hehe..I cant take credit from him.

Ok lemme see what I can do with twochicks.com in about couple hours after I get back from class..

**UPDATE**
Here's the email i got from btm creations:
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
Kvit,

The rate of $10.99 per frame was for a bulk order of 50+ frames to one
address. We would be glad to ship to individual addresses; however, the
price per frame would be $11.99. We will charge you a flat rate of
$3.50 for shipping via USPS priority mail on these plates anywhere in
the US.

We look forward to hearing from you,

Brian
</font>
1) 11.99 + 3.50 seems fairly reasonable.

2) I'll be adding one more design to BTM's site soon


3) Their site has prices updated so it looks like you can order one right now, but not the silver one with black lettering yet
http://www.btmcreations.com/customerpages/acura.htm

4) I'm waiting for an email from twochicks.com for those who want metallic plates or somethin...

Sounds good. Since we have two threads about this now, I'm gonna close this one and reference the new one since it's topic is more descriptive.

The new thread is:
