Amp'd, the girl in the ad (is it Jaime Pressely?) might not have much to do with what you sell, but she sure as hell got my attention. It made me read more to find out what you're selling. Isn't that what advertising is supposed to do in the first place?

Hey Steven.

I see the resemblance, but it's not Pressely. Her name is Barbie. And YOU are correct. She does get attention..and IMO..that is what advertising is about.

I see your thread about the KC meet, is getting some SERIOUS action. Any ideas how you will decide on the Amp'd Emblem® give away?

^^^ Not yet, I'm discussing it with Jay Wolfe Acura and we'll see how we're going to do this. We might just have a drawing of all the guys that are registered.

By the way, if it's not Jaime, we need her to show up for the meet to represent Amp'd Emblems!!!!

And...I sure hope you're dating her or married to her.

Maybe 1% of the billion dollar IPO would make us happy!
...or 20 minutes alone with Barbie!

I'd be interested in those extreme led for my rear amber in red.
I'd only hook them up with my brake light though. How much are they?

I assume you mean for your rear emblem........in... Extreme Red?

If so...for a 3G TL in that configuration.....just over $130, plus shipping. Visit the online store link, http://shop.ampdemblems.com/ for details.

Thanks,

Ampd

True story happened just last night:
Laurie and I are on vacation in Ocean City, MD. We had just left Fager's Island, a local bar and gotten into my car to go back to our place. She says to me, "Man, that guy is eye-fucking you hard, honey."
I look over at a guy across the street and he is starting to cross to talk to me. He gets to the window and asks, "Dude, where did you get the light up Acura symbol on your car?"
It turns out he is a fellow AZiner from Lancaster PA also on vacation----Acuratech-something (Kevin). He is the guy who installed heated rear seats in his 3G, so I knew who he was from that. Man, what a small world. Now I have a new friend!
Anyway, my point is that these emblems absolutely rock. If you have not seen them in person and are only judging them by the pics here, you are making a big mistake. These have to be seen to be truly appreciated. Hell, Kevin noticed them from over a block away!
Kudos again to Steve, who has just introduced a Mitsubishi Amp'd Emblem---see it on his Facebook page---it looks effing great! BTW Steve, I am still working on some good pics for you. Give me a bit more time.
OK, kiddies. Thats all for story time!

I would have had my pistol out and ready to rock.......some strange guy outside a bar....coming up to my car.

That is a great story DWB! Thanks again for the kind words. As I have said in the past, one of the best parts of making these Amp'd Emblems, is the positive reaction I get from my new friends/customers.

I told this following story on another thread, or maybe this one, but it's worth telling again.

I was in a restaurant picking up some takeout food. My girlfriend was in the car. It was running with the parking brake lights on. It was pulled head in to the sidewalk. When I got back to the car she tells me that this young couple with a hood tall little kid walked by. The little kid points at the lit up emblem and says out loud...."coooooooooooooooool." And then he reached out and touched the emblem. When I got back to the car, the father walked by the rear and said "those lighted emblems look really cool."

That was a trip!

Say hey to Laurie and thanks for the story!

Free decals to my loyal customers....

Hey Guys,

After some requests for them, I finally got around to getting some decals made. They will be a metallic gradient blue, like the words in the logo or banner you see on here. It will just be the words...Amp'd Emblems®. I will give these out free to my prior loyal customers.

If you are interested, send me a Private Message here, and include your real name, and the date you bought your Amp'd Emblem®, so I can look you up in my order files.

Once I receive the samples, I will post some pictures.

Amp'd
