spiffinspudater Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I went to the mall today and happen to pass a kiosk that makes vynal stickers and I had to have some made. Hope you all don't mind me sporting the Ratsun name on my truck and my car:P Here is a picture. I couldn't decide on the font so I had them make 3. :D Quote Link to comment

ppeters914 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 So, whaddascoop on getting a Ratsun decal? Need a couple, one to go with: Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 i like the second one, altho i think i would like it better if the "r" was lower case... idk... did BEE ever make metal ones? I'm still working on it, for some reason when I cad'd it and programmed it to the burning machine; it wants to burn it out 70 inches tall and 40 inces wide. I'm trying to get it shrunk down. What happened to the decals that Steve was supposed to make based on my design? Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 actually that might be kind of cool to have a giant one that runs along the whole length of the truck. i'm thinking that when i get to the point to do some body work i'm going to go to this local vinyl printing place that does full vehicle wraps and get a vinyl sheet for my tailgate that's this old japanese wood block print of waves. it's by an artist named Katsushika Hokusai. it's considered the most famous japanese block print ever. but i was thinkin this image flipped horiz. and have ratsun in all lower case in the bottom left area in a sorta handwritten black font would be pretty kickass. and maybe with the official ratsun (rat and cross wrenches) logo in there, if i'm allowed. :D Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I ran into the same problem with your design. My vinyl cutter would just spool out a bunch of vinyl and I would have to shut it down... I got a new one traced out, but then my pc died...as soon I as I get the time (been working alot of overtime lately) I'll fix my box and be up and running again. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 that painting looks like one i've seen on a 240 s15 conversion.. or was it a rx7 fc.. or a a386?? i forget they were all white and in the same magazine.. anyways i swear that painting was on the hood of one of them Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 There was a double feature on an AE86 and S13 Silvia, both with that on the hood. And both looked AWESOME. :D Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sport compact car? so it was a s13 an a ae86... for some reason i was thinkin FC Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sport compact car? so it was a s13 an a ae86... for some reason i was thinkin FC It was either SCC or Turbo. I have the issue somewhere... Definitely AE86 with a Levin front end, and an S13 240SX with a Silvia front end. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 hey are you the guy that did the 200sx fuel injection stuff? Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 yea the article was about a levin and an s13 and they were both white and had origin body kits (one of the top body kit designers ever). here's a pic of the levin, i don't remember what mag it was in, altho i had it one point. it wasn't the first time i'd ever seen the image, it wasn't even the first time i'd seen the image on a vehicle. i just thought it might look cool cause i'm thinking about a blue tone for my 521, somewhere down the road anyway. :D enjoy.

lynchfourtwenty Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 yep thats it.. those guys paid big bux for they're body kits.. if i remember right they got them FROM JAPAN from the people who make them.. not sure on that i maybe confusing it with another artical.. also i think some famous guy actually painted those paintings onto the car.. not sure if it was the guy who painted them to begin with.. or some other well known painter... again tho i could be confusing it with another artical... but that sounds about right... wish i had the mag.. i know my friend does i should borrow it Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 i was thinkin bout doin those japanese waves on the hatch of my wagon...like my tattoo Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 well i doubt it was the original artist cause he originally "painted" that in about 1810. (wikipedia says he died in 1849, his name's katsushika hokusai) and it's a woodblock, so it's not really painting, more like carving a stamp and then painting ink directly to the stamp. as far as origin kits go, they're a lil more pricey than something you get off bodykits.com (their kits are usually around 3-400 for a kit and origin's are about a grand), but they're higher quality and imo a way better design usually, they strive to make the kit compliment the body lines of the car, not just design one thing and make a million versions to fit every car on the market. i like some body kits, but only if it flows with the design of the car from the factory.
