I bought my Spyder some business cards!
When I buy a car, I'll typically create an "Infographic Card" to use at car shows, meets or drive outs.
It memorializes the build and showcases the car stats for those that are curious
On prior versions I added some personal contact info or our car club social media, etc

Been thinking about offering this as a paid service to others but not sure if anyone would care for it as I do
It's not cheap as I use "Moo" to have the printing done and the cards are 32pt (heavy), standard postcard size (4x6) and have a colored stripe at the edges (in my case blue)
They are a 2 sided print and 50 cards are around $100 just for printing - but they are beautiful when done
Below is the artwork ... last image is actual printed postcards at scale

Looks like you will be adding another post to this thread after you drop another $100 bucks!

Good catch! I’ll fix the art and print when I run out. I grabbed the 6 speed by mistake

Keychain in Alcantara from Etsy
Shop is called NjordLedermanufaktur

Forgive the fingernails as I was digging by hand in red clay to fix a leak at my water meter

Someone here posted a link to the vendor on ebay who sells the airbag warning label decals for the sunvisors and I bought them. Excellent product for $20 and a piece of cake to install wet.

Wait, you were able to get off the factory warning labels by rubbing alcohol on the vinyl visors?

Wet a paper towel and lie it on the visor label for about 5 minutes and then start working on them. There will still be a faint outline, and this is on the pleather ones, not mouse fur.

Yes, using this

https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-health-...prodid-1011920

Get it super wet with a towel. Really soak it. Wait a few minutes. Peals right off.

PRO TIP - Peal very, very slowly, and you will get the entire sticker with a single effort. After pealing, you have to hit it again with the alcohol.

In the end, from an angle, I have to look REALLY HARD to see a faint outline of the label. Otherwise, I see nothing.
