Re: EV features emblems/badges

Hi Doug and all,

I have had a few suggestions for additional variations on the "Electric" 
emblems, but since I don't actually make these myself, but have them 
manufactured to order I haven't been willing to risk investing in a large 
batch that might not sell.

Western Auto used to sell individual chrome or gold finish letters and 
numbers, and I had thought of labeling my EV "156 Volts" or some such.  As 
it is, I think just the "electric" logo grabs enough attention.  Most folks 
see the chrome lettering and automatically assume it is a factory built 
EV.  The guys at the Honda dealership went nuts over it.  On my car I also 
removed the "Civic" text decal from the back, and had a local sign shop 
make up an "electric" decal to replace it.  The 3 inch high letters on the 
reflective background is pretty hard to miss.

Since Doug has mentioned this, I might as well do my sales pitch, as it has 
been a few months.  These emblems he mentioned are "Electric" car emblems, 
made like the OEM factory lettering. They are fabricated from a weather 
resistant thermoplastic, and feature a bright chrome like finish on the 
letter faces with a matte black background. They mount easily with the self 
adhesive HighTack backing. Each sign is approximately 1.25" in height and 
7" in length. I am selling them for only $6.00 each or four for $20.00, 
plus $1.75 shipping and handling per order. Discounts for larger orders 
available.  You can see them on a number of EVs in the EV Album, or at:

If are interested, contact me off list.  I still have several hundred on 
hand, but I will be ordering more if these run out.

Thanks,
