Window Stickers
I have never felt the urge to put any websites sticker on my car before. But I would but buy and display a Gassaver.org sticker if some were to be put up for sale. I was thinking the white lettering on clear.
Just a suggestion if anyone else wants to get some made. Thanks, Jack |

I want some but I don't have that much money, grr! I don't even have a Dartmouth sticker cuz after shipping it's like 15 dollars.
|
There are companies that will do it for less than $7 each, you just have to buy a bunch at one time.
That's always a good way to raise funds for the site. Make them for like $4 each, and sell them for $10 or more. Many sites consider it donating to the site but when you donate you get a free sticker. lol |

I know people like white-on-clear decals and such, but lettering is WAY cheaper. I'm certain we could get them for $1-$2 a piece. I'll e-mail a sign-company I frequently do business with and ask. How big should they be? I would think that just the words gassavers.org around 10" long (1.25" top to bottom of the "g") would be fine. I don't want some bigass sticker on my car. EDIT: I just calculated it out from my signmaking days memories and they actually work out to around $0.80 a piece (possibly more, possibly less...yes, and in CDN funds!). I will still get a real quote. Matt, I wouldn't mind ordering these and shipping them to you. How many do you think we would need? |

If you can get vinyl lettering that cheap, I'm all for it. |
Okay, good point, DaX. Once I get a quote I'll post it and an image of the final product. I've been talking to Matt about ordering them so we'll see what happens.

As for selling them, I have no desire (nor do I think it's possible) to make a ton of money on stickers, so the market wouldn't be too high. I'd probably send one to anyone who has already donated money to the site for free. |
Humanist 521 Extra Bold Condensed...:D (or Antique Olive depending on program and time period of the font)
|
I'll just donate MORE money if you send me one :D

Sticker Sizes
Okay, here are some examples of what the stickers would look like at various sizes (8, 10, and 12 inches long). My back window is 46 in. - scale is approximate, but pretty close.
8 inches 10 inches 12 inches Hmmm, maybe 9 in. would be a good compromise between the size of 8 in. and the legibility of 10 in. EDIT: removed the pics from my site because my allowed bandwidth is really low... |
Nice nice! I wonder what that'd look like on my little weird back glass thing, :)
|
YEAaaaH! Finally bumper stickers/decals in the works :)
|
I'd buy one. or two.
|
Indeed, I'm so down.
|
Just so you all know, 95Metro is currently looking for a company to help with the production. With any luck stickers will be available soon at a minimal cost.
In the near future I'm also going to look at plastic license plate frames for people who don't want a sticker in their window :) |
Glad someone is running with this ball.
|
One thing we might all want to think about.
How much weight will these decals add to our vehicles. I would be willing to run a test to see if we should expect a change in mpg. Probably minimal, but worth looking into. |
Hey is that white lettering on the outside of the rear window - I had problems with vinyl lettering only lasting about 1 year because of the black paint inside the glass edges making it get really hot in the summer the letters pealed off - ice and snow in the winter didn't help much either.
Printing white on clear is a little tricky but I have done other colors including full color with a thermal resin transfer computer printer on clear vinyl and stuck them on the inside of the Geo rear side window and they lasat forever there without fading. Think in terms of the mailing size also - extra postage for odd shaped envelopes. |
Yes, the white lettering would be on the outside. It should last 3-5 years easy, but yes, it is better to put it on a clearer portion of the window rather than on the black rim.
Thermal printed is only designed for a 3 year life span, but can last longer. However, it also costs 2 - 3 times as much for the decals. I'm looking for the ultra cheapo method. No quotes yet, but no sign company works on the weekends around here anyway. |
Just so everyone knows, I finally received a decent quote and ordered the window stickers today.

Arggg - I did a bunch of work for a buddy of mine and he could have made them and cut them out as payback for me. Maybe I will get some more laser compatible vinyl from him and print some up - they last a lot longer if stuck on a bumper as long as you don't get hit and they peal off clean without leaving any glue - except the bumper fades around the sticker.

BTW, I think I have injector plugs for you. |
Matt, I was addressing you.
the plugs were for the complete vx swap that finished for $107.50 on ebay yesterday. i missed it by 1 second, :( ...so i guess i won't be needing the plugs. thank you anyway. :p |

Let it be known that I have obd1 Honda injector plugs if anyone ever needs them. |
what are the dimensions of the decals?
white type on clear, right? |
i think i'm gonna go with four of em.
top windshield rear hatch glass both rear windows maybe the front would be overkill, we'll see. :p |

I would be willing to buy a sticker if it had something like "I get 50+ mpg" and then the web site in smaller print.
someone makes something like that for motorcycles, but I can't find them, they are just a plastic sheat that gets bolted on behind the license plate. |

You upload the image and that is about all, bumper sticker is $2.99, Oval is $2.49 no mins. Also T-shirts, sweatshirts and more. |
Has mark said anything about those which he created? Mehbe my car will be able to sport one in the garage, :)
|
I'd prefer not to use cafepress for a number of reasons, the first of which is poor quality. I ordered a shirt from them once and was disappointed to discover it was an iron-on.
I'm going to talk with a friend of mine tonight that works at a printing press. He tells me they can do what we want. When 95Metro left he also cancelled his sticker order, so he never got them done. |
Oh drats, if I knew anything I'd help, but I'm too lazy to ever get a college sticker for my car, :p
