Everyone else's scuff plates were just practice so your scuff plates could be better than everyone else's right?

are you able to do these anytime or do we need a group buy each time?

I'm going to have to make it 5 sets min from now on I think and I'll possibly have to increase the price a little... ran at a loss this time round... I'll have to base prices again on what people want but review my price structuring cos things like painting and polishing ended up taking a lot more time to get right than i thought...

but yeah, 1 set is just not economical enough for me to offer a decent price sorry!

yeah, everyone's happy if we get a group buy going... dunno how I fair but I would think this is a good price for such a small batch of items... mitsubishi probably just 'stamp' theirs out on a machine, 5 seconds per plate or something and these are around the same price (dealers price, not out heavily discounted price)

but yeah, from concept to reality each plate takes a lot longer than i anticipated - seemed like a 30 minute job at first glance - lol...

whats the new price?

JazzyB · Postby **JazzyB** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 5:47 pm

haven't decided on a pricing scheme just yet as I've just sent out the first order, I'm having a day or two of without scuff plates on the brain - but I will work something out shortly, expect somes plates to remain around the same and the highest going up by $30 max I'd say... smaller text is definately a killer, as is full custom work...

Hi guys,

I stuck on the OEM scuff plates i bought, wonky.....laugh at me
Any suggestion to remove them?
Ive see stuff on debadging cars, by heating it up and all?
Should i heat it up then try and scrape fishing line underneath?
Would it kill the paint if i heat it up?

Thanks

Best way to do it is to use a hair dryer and some fishing line and putting the fishing line under the scuff plate and slowly pulling the fishing line thru to losen the glue

Might have to use something like Goo-Remove to get any excess adhesive from the body but thats usually the easiest way

what tadz said ;-)

heat the whole plate quite warm I'd say, don't be too afraid of the paint, remember, a black painted lancer would last a day in the sun and would reach temperatures hotter than you could stand to leave your hand on - so don't be afraid!

careful with fishing line, you can easily cut into your hands if you're not holding it right!
