laser print out

I made one for 5-spd by myself. I created indicator in MS Word and print on foil using laser printer. Then I realize that printout look much better from "unprinted" side so I mirrored and printed twice. Look great, clean and very detailed.
I`ll post pix later.

nice... thanks for adding me to the batch... when I asked about the LEDs, I was basically asking if you were going to be making a 4th batch and if I could squeeze in if you weren't. I wasn't asking for an extra LED, so keep that if you need it for someone else. Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this!

I think it will work good, but try to print 2 layers, because ink doesnt work too great with foil. If you have 5-spd I can send you file with Ind ready to print.

HAHA well it was a bitch to take out and all you had to do was slowly pull and pull and pull and slowly it will come out but it hurts like a mofo.

4th batch was shipped out just earlier~!

i spent a GOOD amount of time making sure this batch is as IMMACULATE as possible - 9 thin layers of spray paint specifically made to bond to plastics better. i hope everyone will be happy with their indicators even after the long wait. thanks a bunch for your patience & feedback with the groupbuy... and do post some pics once you guys receive them.





btw: hopefully no one loses their LED again like the previous batches (*shakes fist @ USPS), i'm totally out of LED's!

Thanks! Can't wait to get it and put it in!
Good luck with everything else, too bad you aren't doing it anymore.

Quick question too, wondering where you got the LEDs, I want to install some around the car. Thanks

You can find on ebay or else you can go to autolumination or superbrightleds or tectoyz. Ebay I must say is the cheapest by far.

I wonder how it would come out on transparency plastic sheets. Since the printing side is kind of frosted for the ink to hold onto something, it may look pretty cool + provide some light diffusing.

I did something to fix the Hotspot, I got some toilet paper, and as you all know, a piece of toilet paper is really two thin pieces together (Im talking about good quality Toilet paper). I seperated it, and put it under the D4, and it looks good.

Hey, I got mine about a week ago... Didn't think I had the time to put it in, but now that it's done. It really did only take a couple minutes and I probably could have done it right when I got it. It looks great! Thanks! Now I need to find time to get everything else LED'd!
