3G T-Shirts

hey everyone. i recently stumbled into www.madcowsdesign.com and noticed they sell automotive shirts, decals, flags, etc. saw they had a design for the TL but it wasn't a 3G TL. i emailed the owner of the site and he replied in under 24 hours to tell me thanks for letting him know of our community and he now has t-shirts for us 3G TL owners. he was even so kind to give us a promo code for 10% off our individual orders.

here's the link to the t-shirt. http://www.madcowsdesign.com/tl-shirt1.html hopefully he'll have hats and decals available shortly. i'm not affiliated with that site at all. just wanted to spread the word to other TL owners that are looking for a t-shirt to represent their community.

promo code: cowbling

that's nice but I think there should be more design to it. Like some of the Evo and BMW shirts with the actual picture of a car. OP put in a word :wink:

I think that design would look great on a hat or decal but kinda plain on a shirt. There must be some better designs out there. Thanks for the link though.

i just sent him an email w/ the ideas posted by members. please keep them coming. just an update, he now has that TL design on the shirt on decals, flags and hats.

i noticed some members complaining about the shirts being a little too pricey. here is some text that is on his site regarding the quality of them. hope it helps.

Why Our Products Beat the Competition

Know what your buying. Cheap shirts used by other companies are cheap for a reason. They are extremely prone to fading and wear and cheap iron-on transfers will only last a few washes before the logo is completely washed away from the shirt. Every single one of our items are made with the highest quality vinyl that will NEVER fade. We said it. It will NEVER fade, crack, or dry out. No matter how many washes/dries you put it through. Expect to keep your shirt for a long time, because our tees have one goal: to be your next favorite shirt.

We pride ourselves on quality. Period.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee!

received a very quick reply from the owner of the site. i'm truly amazed by their customer service. they seem dedicated to meet our demands. here is what he sent:

We have an in-house design team here at Mad Cows Design and we’re completely open to any suggestions you guys have. We would love to create realistic designs of the TL, but according to our legal staff, Honda has contacted us asking us to remove realistic images of their vehicles. We respect that and completely understand where they are coming from. At one point, we had tons of Honda/Acura vehicles like the ones your community has quoted, but had to remove them with respect to Honda.

The design team’s only job here is to create designs for people like you and your community. So we are open to ANY suggestions you guys have. We have a talented team that has years of experience and will be more than happy to accommodate what you guys have in mind. The best way to do this would probably suggest a “TL version” of a shirt we already have. Like the first quote you listed in the previous email. There is almost nothing we can’t do for you guys. I’d say 99% of what you throw at us, we will probably be able to create it. The 1% is standard for those designs that are strictly off limits (such as realistic images of your car).

Here are some ideas of what other automotive communities have requested. Tons of communities have requested designs like “Engine > Engine” or “Car Model > Car Model”. Other communities love highlighting their engines, usually through some sort of engine code design. Others love to highlight their chassis codes. Some wanted a custom vehicle-specific design in our “My Anti-Drug” series. Same with our JDM License Plate series. Basically anything you guys see on our site that could be modded to fit your cars specifically, we can do, even if it’s not on our site. Our job is to create original, unique designs for people like you.

Any specific suggestions would help, Gabriel. All of the feedback is extremely constructive and helps us grow as a company. We really appreciate it!


Sincerely,
Kevin
any ideas would be appreciated. i will gladly forward any ideas to him.

great idea. maybe they can place "TL-S" to replace the "TL" in the silhouette like they have now.

someone already suggested that and i brought it to their attention but this was their response on that.

a "J32 powered" shirt/decal would be cool, or a "Vtec > Boost" sort of thing

AZine shirts would be sweet too, but idk how the mods would feel about it

That design is weak. Definitely could use some refining. He could have at least used the "TL" off the rear badge of the car or something. And what's with the ghey little flip wing atop the rear window? I would never put that ricer junk on my car...

i'll add your suggestions on the letters but that little flip wing you said is not a wing. it looks more like the GPS antenna.

simply order something and check out. just don't submit the order. it should give you a grand total before you submit.

There is a Azine member who shipped a 3G TL out to Japan.. He really has a clean ride.. I haven't seen a post of his in months though.. I'm sure he's rocking some USDM stickers..

I'll post up if I can find one of his picture threads..

simply order something and check out. just don't submit the order. it should give you a grand total before you submit.
it doesn't though. I fill out all my info and the grand total before is just the price of the shirt or a hoodie. Then it says Click CONTINUE to submit.

NEVER MIND I GOT IT
