Wind Restrictor etching design

The plan is to have two colors (red & blue). I wish I could do three colors, because if I could add yellow then I think I could get a pretty good range of shades.
I'm still working on the stars and haven't completely decided on the text, but here's what I've got so far.
Note: The stars look much worse on here since the image was shrunk down by the forum. They look much better in the original 300dpi image.

Thanks guys. I haven't found another saying/quote that I like better so I think I'm pretty much ready to submit it to Steve. Now the question is whether to go with multicolor or a single solid color.

Steve wanted it 300 dpi and the windscreen is 5" tall so the resulting image was 4267x1500 (approximately 4x the width of the average desktop).

Thanks. Yeah, I sent you that one. I'm sad though because I'm sure, even if I paid for next day delivery, you wouldn't be able to get it done and to me before I leave for Florida on the 19th.

I'm really curious to see how this turns out.

I had a similar idea of using a video game character. Unfortunatly, the image I had wouldn't have worked, mostly because of some of the coloring, but also because the only images I had were much lower resolution than what you have. Luckily Steve was able to determine that the WR wouldn't have come out the way I wanted it before we wasted a lot of time and money on it.

As soon as I come up with a new idea for an image, I'll will try to order again.

Looking forward to it. Tracking says it'll be here tomorrow so hopefully I can have it installed and take a pic tomorrow night.

Our webmaster said it was the best he has ever seen of our work. I would say it's in the top 5 for sure. Very good work on the graphics

very, very classy with the white.

I got it installed today, but haven't wired up the brake light module yet. Hopefully I can do that tomorrow.

For now, here it is lit up with the battery pack.


I'm hoping it will be much brighter once I get it hardwired as the scattered stars don't really show up at all. Overall, I'm pretty pleased. It does help with the wind and the etching is very clear. Much thanks to Steve and the WR staff who did a great job and went out of his way to make sure that I got it in time for my trip.

Here's a pic with the top up and interior lights on. I think it's interesting that the fabric of the top perfectly covers up the text at the bottom so that all you can see is the woman and constellation.


Note: I can't find my camera so all pics are taken with my phone.

Great image. Hope they can do something with the one I sent tonight. Could be just as classy, however I'll wait to see what they can do before I post anything else.

Wow that looks awesome. It is almost like it was designed so the lettering would not show when roof is up
