For car shows. I take the marauder to a few and enter it as a collectible as most of you do. But I'm looking to get a sign made sort of like Steve's (embassy) so people don't ask why I entered my grand marq in the show. However I have considerbly less mods than him. LOL.

I don't know what to put to make people look twice. If that makes sense.


And my new girlfriend owns a screen printing business and I get stuff for free.

I was actually going to mention about Charlies posterboard. My uncle had one made up at Kinkos but I believe Staples can do the same thing. Just provide the pics and the info and they'll put it together.

I made mine up in MSPowerpoint and e-mailed the file to the local Kinko's with instructions to put it on 1/4 inch foamboard in 3 different sizes. Picked it up later that afternoon. Really easy and just about $10 per square foot when I had it done 2 years ago. The largest board was right at $30 (24" by 18"). An 8.5" by 11" board is about $6.50. And the 16" by 12" was about $13.50. So, $50 for a set of 3. :D

I just threw something together in Word, printed it to legal paper and ran to Staples for some laminating.

I wedge it in the rear windows and have another couple to toss around (usually lay one in the engine bay).

If you click my sig it'll take you to my garage where I posted a scan up.

I don't have much to add so I stuck with the facts and left room for future stuff like timeslips and dyno pulls!
