I want to stir interest up for a group buy for these trunk Lid Liners.
The carpet will be similar to the stuff in the trunk currently, the design will either be "MARAUDER" Embossed into the Cover, or a God's Head, or both, or blank,

Custom artwork and embroidery is also available on a custom basis, but for now, we'll say its for interest, if you are interested in a Trunk Lid Liner, or not...

Thanks all!

[hdwrench]

will they be available with the silver lettering or just those colors shown?

[03SILVERSTREAK]

Silver Lettering would be even better!!!

[Decklid Designs]

Yeah..Silver is the most popular, just didn't have a close color for the images...I made an attempt with the ones shown above.

[drj02]

I will take one for sure. Any idea for time of order, price, who to forward funds to, etc.? Thanks! :D

By God it is Arial Italic..hehe, thanks for the heads up..that will make it easy. Pricing is still being worked out but a group price should be between $119 and $135.00...it is higher cuz the decklid cover uses almost a whole sheet of wood ...did I mention that the decklid is Huuuge!

Oh lord... I just fainted......




THESE ARE RIGHTEOUS...... :bows:

It is just so much cooler than the one I was looking at for my Cobra ! :banana2:

Heck I might even have to get one done for my 67 Fairlane.... I don't even care if it says Marauder on it. :burnout:

[MarauderMark]

Just the circle with the gods head in the middle.Maybe 20 " round.yea i like that..:up:

[CRUZTAKER]

I want to thank Kevin (AzMarauder) for the idea, Wes for taking the challange....again, and Scott for making these for us.

I am in for sure.

I was thinking of using my Buckeye artwork if the cost is reasonable.
Spelling correctly of course!

[Agent M79]

By God it is Arial Italic..
Here is the result I found closest for the "Marauder" font:

"Arial Black stretched horizontally 25% with a 15% slant is the closest I can get."

How will they be mounted on the trunk lid???:dunno:

[wchain]

How will they be mounted on the trunk lid???:dunno:
http://www.mirandala.org/blog/photos/juicy%20fruit.jpg

J/K, drilling and plastic trim tabs probably.

[Decklid Designs]

How will they be mounted on the trunk lid???:dunno: Typically my decklid covers mount with 1/4 plastic tabs as Wes suggested. However, I can easily adapt these to accomodate high-strength Velcro...I will still have the backboard drilled for the tabs so you can punch through the carpet if you if decide that the Velcro isn't cutting it. You will have the mounting option available to you at order time.

Easy enough to do :)sweet :banana2: let me know the price, and could you use a silver metallic thread to achieve the dot matrix look?

[Lowell]

I am in. Post information when available.

[Glenn]

I will also take one with red lettering and the flag design. It goes with the front fender badges. Is this exactly the same fabric and thickness as the trunk liner?

Glenn

[schuvwj]

Yes I'll take one!

[UAW 588]

A little more bling wouldn't hurt anyone. You got my vote, count me in!!!!!!!!!

[Decklid Designs]

90% finished and from what I can tell, you guys are going to LOVE this!!!! Going to test fit today on a Marauder and Crown...will have pictures by Monday or tuesday.

I am really looking forward to seeing the pictures this coming week!
It will make an excellent addition to the car. I don't know if Mercury was saving paint or what.... but a lot of areas on the car just didn't get painted. Behind the headlights..... under the hood..... etc. This liner will add a nice touch!

:banana:

[UAW 588]

Are we going to have to worry about stronger pneumatic pistons to hold the trunk lid up with the weight?
I didn't know Marauders came with hatch backs? :lol:

[Decklid Designs]

Here is the first mock-up of the new Marauder decklid. Please note this is what the lid will look like for the most part. The fabric is the OEM charcoal..the Marauder text will be larger on the production version and Mercury head will be closer to the Marauder text...on the bottom picture of the head, you are looking at 110,000+ stitches

Again, these decklids will be shipped ready to install.

[SouLRioT]

Scott will you be producing this one aswell?

http://www.deckliddesigns.com/marauder_example_7.jpg

[DEFYANT]

Looks good. I think "MARAUDER" should be alittle larger with more spacing between the letters.

[MERCMAN]

WOO-HOO!! looks A++++
I am a firm believer in one can not have too many God's heads on your car!!

(this upgrade will make 14 of them on my car) :up:

The only thing that would be better would be stainless steel with that logo etched in it.

What about Marauder across the top with the Gods Head underneath (centered)?

[bigslim]

I'll take one.

[Decklid Designs]

This is just the first rendition...we will offer the other designs as posted earlier. I will look into doing the test over the head.

:2thumbs: ........................

[MM03MOK]

As noted above, the production version will have larger text.The spacing looks ok, but the whole thing needs to be stretched width-wise - it's too condensed.

http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=55 73
we can stretch it a little, but we have size constraints on the embroidery machine...also, I took the text spacing based on a dash emblem I saw...we will stretch it as much as possible.

[AzMarauder]

This is just the first rendition...we will offer the other designs as posted earlier. I will look into doing the test over the head.

Cool.... everyone is going to have an opinion.... but I think your ideas are spot on! I know I am stoked! I have no idea how hard the setup is on these. I do know I was cleaning on the Marauder today and looked under the trunk lid and can't WAIT to cover that up.

[bigslim]

Give me this one embrodered in silver at the top with the MM logo under it.

[fastblackmerc]

As noted above, the production version will have larger text.
Can't wait to order one!!!!!!!!!!! :banana2: :2thumbs:

A bigger gods head like about 2 ' round..:up:
Is that an iron on?

Not an iron on, that logo is embroidered into the carpet with over 75,000 stitches

I'm sorry i didn't read the post.Is that going to be the finale product? Any chance of getting the same gods head at about 2' round with a small saying underneath Supercharged or just the head would do as well..

[Decklid Designs]

I'm sorry i didn't read the post.Is that going to be the finale product?
Close to it...the text will be a little larger and the gods head will be closer to the text.

[Directedby]

Close to it...the text will be a little larger and the gods head will be closer to the text.

Text is way too condensed. Hopefully it will match the logo text on the car.

Could the word Supercharged right above Marauder be installed ?

[Sully008]

Text is way too condensed. Hopefully it will match the logo text on the car.

Hi Decklid Designs,

I don't own a MM, but I do like the fact that you are willing to design and create something that should have been part of the car in the first place. I'm a stickler for detail and maybe you could you use this as a basis for the lettering? Let me know and could swap info an I might be able to send you something you could use.

[Decklid Designs]

Could the word Supercharged right above Marauder be installed ?
Hell yeah!!! Look at an additional $25 or so for the extra embroidery/computer setup. You would need to tell me what type of font to use.

I do like that one a lot...I am sure it can be added.

[Sully008]

I do like that one a lot...I am sure it can be added.

I need to clean the lettering up a little bit, it's not quite right. If you want, I could probably send you an electronic file. Can you take a .eps? (If you don't know that format, let me know if there's a different one that will work for you)

[sailsmen]

Is the weight such that the trunk lid needs to be adjusted to open fully?

[BruteForce]

What is the maximum height/width you can embroider as a single pattern?

[Svashtar]

Count me in for sure on whatever the final product is, as long as it will match my black MM. Godshead, "Marauder" w/ flag, whatever. I'm cool with it and ready to buy one!


Thanks,

Norm

[Daily 03]

I would like one with the Buckeye Marauder logo on like Barry posted. Maybe we can get enough Buckeyes to order inorder to help with the extra cost.

After thinking about this, I've got a special request:

The thread (above) talks about attaching this with Velcro. Because of heat, age, temperature changes and so forth, I'd like to see a version that locks the lid liner in place with those plastic push-in pins (like the hood liner uses). There are more than enough holes into which to insert them, and I don't mind drilling an extra one for a strategic location. But I sure don't want to try cleaning expired Velcro adhesive off in a year or two and then trying to reattach the liner in a different way. Plus, when the trunk's closed, gravity will tend to pull it down, so the clips would resist that better. If the kit has predrilled holes and a handful of clips, I'd be real happy.

To me, this is more important than monogramming. As to monogramming, I'd prefer a simple "Marauder" (like the rear bumper sports) than anything complicated.

I like this design.
If its done on a BLACK Liner with Silver Logo and RED Lettering,
it would look cool, and it should match the Font used for the
'MARAUDER' on the dash gauges.

So far what Sully has in mind is MY favorite. While the other designs are nice ... IMHO this is the only one that most closely resembles the slant of the OEM font the best - which I really like.

I'd definitely do one of these.

Hopefully Decklid will contact me so I can give him the image. Then it'll be up to him to give a price. :D I'm just a guy that wants to help. But I think this trunk lid idea is cool and I'd like to see you guys get something that looks like it came from Mercury themselves.

You mean something like this:
I like that. Now only do it in silver.

[DEFYANT]

Personally, I thought imitation was the highest form of flattery. I like the trunk deck liner idea. I plan on pickin one up. I would try to come up with my own idea or design though.... I like to be different.

Is the problem with the entire concept of a trunk deck liner, the embroidery or both?

P.S. Nobody here owns the rights to MM Gods head or the "MM" name for that matter. In fact, if Ford wanted to be azzholes, they probably could make the boss change the address of the borad!

I appreciate all of the suggestions and ideas, I really need to stick with no more than 3 logo ideas for the GP. Please decide which 3 it should be so i can set everything up for production. I recommend the gods head over the marauder, the marauder to the left of the gods head, and the marauder with the flag. If someone wants the gods head over the marauder with flag as in the last several posts, I might have to charge a little extra to cover the digitizing and extra embroidery costs.

Also, I am shipping the first prototype to Wes for installation tests...he should have pics by early next week, if all goes well then the GP is on.

Marauder with just the flag looks great!

[CRUZTAKER]

Perhaps now that a few prototypes are out there, do a poll regarding one single common one that everyone can buy, with the option for folks do do custom ones at a greater cost.

I like this last one you all came up with, and may decide to just go that route rather than custom.

The big question everyone is asking now is: PRICE?
A price tag needs to be announced soon to really see where we're at.

Has there been a decision on the 3 designs? I vote for these:

"MARAUDER" with checkered flag the length of MARAUDER

"MARAUDER" with checkered flag over the "R"

"MARAUDER" with Gods Head centered above and checkered flag over the "R"

Would also like the choice of color for "MARAUDER". The checkered flag and Gods Head stay silver.

Gordon,

From what I've seen on the ones done for the Cobras... it looks very similar to the form fitted panels that grace the sides of the trunks etc. The ones done for the Cobras were not "flat" by any means but rather followed the contours of the trunk as required. Any discussion about carpeting being glued to back boards etc. are refering to another product not this one.

Where might one procure this "high density hardboard"?
If one would have a possible use for some on another project?
That is if this material is flexible or bendable.

[MENINBLK]

If you guys would only read the post...


After thinking about this, I've got a special request:

The thread (above) talks about attaching this with Velcro. Because of heat, age, temperature changes and so forth, I'd like to see a version that locks the lid liner in place with those plastic push-in pins (like the hood liner uses). There are more than enough holes into which to insert them, and I don't mind drilling an extra one for a strategic location. But I sure don't want to try cleaning expired Velcro adhesive off in a year or two and then trying to reattach the liner in a different way. Plus, when the trunk's closed, gravity will tend to pull it down, so the clips would resist that better. If the kit has predrilled holes and a handful of clips, I'd be real happy.

To me, this is more important than monogramming. As to monogramming, I'd prefer a simple "Marauder" (like the rear bumper sports) than anything complicated.


Decklid Design's Version does attach with push in trim tabs.

So now what do you think the Trunk Liner is made from ?

[Ross]

I'm in. Let me know what the final design choices are and what the price will be.

[nexstar7]

hows it mounted to the lid?

[AzMarauder]

hows it mounted to the lid?

It uses 1/4" plastic plugs.. similar to the way the hood liner is held in the car.

I'd remove the "normal" option. Its a throw back to when there were browsers that did not support SSL. They ALL do nowadays. Its going to cause confusion more than anything else.

Wes, thanks for the update as I was going to email you tomorrow.

It's been nearly two months since I paid for the trunk liner--which is not acceptable in my book. Still don't have an ETA on our orders other than the generic--we're working on filling the orders. I won't pay in full next time regardless of how much I save or how much I want the product.
Suggest that next time you do a project like this that you bill us one-half up front and one-half when the product ships. Since the time line has expired for me to get my credit card company involved if the product is not delivered as promised. Don't like the idea that if you succumb to the "hit by a Mack truck" syndrome I have no recourse. This is nothing personal, this is just good business. Thanks again for doing this project.

Don't like the idea that if you succumb to the "hit by a Mack truck" syndrome I have no recourse. This is nothing personal, this is just good business. Thanks again for doing this project.


I wish I could do the "bill you half now and bill you half later", but most of the time, any time you purchase a product, especially in large groups, the supplier wants payment in full for the product. Being a small business, I cannot fork out the cash to perform a group purchase of this magnitude. I also understand your concerns of "being hit by a mack truck" feeling. And in this case, you do have recourse. I am a sponsoring vendor on this site, and this is a public forum. If you're not satisfied, I will refund your money, and we go our seprate ways. I'm not someone who is going to hide, duck and dodge you if you are not satisfied with the product. I cannot afford to do that. Most of the Vendors here cannot do that. We strive on providing the best customer service we can provide, and rely on having a good reputation to continue earning your business. In this case, I was the person brokering the deal, and Decklid Designs is the supplier. Scott has been working tirelessly trying to get orders completed, and is pushing his embroider to get the liners out as fast as possible.

Any additional concerns, contact me direct via email or pm. Your satisfaction is important to me.

Thanks Wes for beating me to this...yes, it is true...I am working as fast as I can to get these done and shipped...but seveal unexpected delays have pushed things back a bit. I hope to have abunch out tomorrow...I know many of you have been getting your lids in and I want to assure everyone that they WILL get a product and will love it. I am still doing these by myself and am somewhat at the mercy of the embroiderer and their backlog. As you have seen these logo's are huge...bigger than most anything they have ever embroidered. It takes down a 6-head machine just to run 2 of them...so they have top schedule around that.

I have never missed a shipment or had one returned to bad workmanship...unfortunatly it does take 2-3 weeks just for a simple lid...

I sincerely apologize for the delay...if you have a question or conceren, please email me directly at scottn@deckliddesigns.com

I just wanted to update everyone on the Trunk Lid Liners. Scott is working as fast as he can for the Liners, and due to the unexpected response from the board, he is hubbed up pretty good at this point. Scott is working as fast and as hard as he can to get the liners made, and shipped out, without sacrificing quality and fit/finish of the liners.

If you have any further questions, let me know and I will do my best to look into it.

Thanks for your patience.
WesWes - sent you a PM... I've had a change in address, since originally ordering. If not shipped yet (which it probably isn't), can you please change the address, as per my PM. If it has shipped, it should still get to me, but if I can catch early, all the better...

Obviously I'd love to get the liner soon, but understand to work involved. Good things are worth waiting for. Still really looking forward to seeing the final product!:cool:

martyo, you got wood on your boat that sits in the water.

Who uses plywood?

[MENINBLK]

Mine is finally installed.

Thanks Scott for all your time and patience.

Scott first sent my liner to me back in the middle of March.
DHL, as good as they are at delivering things, aren't the best
at delivering them in one piece.
I received one of the very few that were damaged.

Working with Scott and Wes, we got DHL to accept a claim,
and I sent he damaged liner back to Scott for replacement.

I received the replacement liner yesterday and I installed it today
with the help of my 8 year old son, Jonathan.
No...he didn't drill the holes for me....silly :D
He held it in place while I fastened it to the trunk. :up:

I gotta say, this looks GREAT !!!

Thank you Scott and Wes, for sharing this with all of us !
We owe you guys, big time ! :up: :up: :up:

^^^^^^AMEN!!^^^^^

I spoke to Wes this past weekend and he explained to me what was going on with the delay.

I thanked him for taking the time to call me with an update and told him:

"I'm in NO big hurry, I'd rather have mine done right than done in a hurry!"

[UAW 588]

All I want for my birthday is; darn still waiting for my liner. :bigcry:

[Johng]

I got good news yesterday! I got an e-mail confirming that my trunk liner was shipped! I checked the tracing number and confirmed that it is in transit!!

[fastblackmerc]

Finally got my lid liner today, no tracking number, no email. Looks great :banana2: , only thing is DHL smashed one side and the oposite corner, so now the backer board is broken :cry: . Just emailed Scott to see what I need to do to get a new one.

[Shaft333]

I've heard of so many damaged shipments from DHL, that I'm starting to think that smashing deliveries is part of their service.

DHL - We'll break your stuff and give it to people.

I was sitting about 3 feet from my front door when mine was delivered in great condition. Trouble is, they delivered it to a house on the other side of the street, 2 houses down, and it was a vacant house to top it off! If it weren't for the tracking number that Scott and Wes sent me, I'd still be waiting for it!

To Scott's credit, I sent him an email with pictures and he's making me another one. I suggested maybe stiffer cardboard or a thin plywood sheet a little bigger than the liner that the liner can be attached to. I get stuff all the time from DHL and this is the first that's been damaged... it figures... the thing I want most....

[Johng]

I Got Mine, It Was Undamaged, Came Exactly On Time With Dhl Time Line On Their Tracking Page And Was Great, Within 20 Minutes It Was In My Car And I Was The Prowd Owner Ready To Show It Off! Thanks Scott!

Make sure either you ar Scott put in a CLAIM to DHL.
I had called DHL because I was here when the driver dropped it off
and the side of my box was crushed and the liner broken like yours.

When I got the replacement, the box had sneaker prints all over it,
but the liner wasn't damaged at all.

It makes you wonder, what the guys at the DHL transfer stations
are doing with all of our packages ?
