Got mine last week - thanks!

But I have a question. For some reason I just assumed the decal would be applied to the inside of the window, not the outside. How will it hold up to extreme weather, carwashes, etc?

Back in the day, when we had to chase the brontosaurus out of the parking lots to autocross, I was part of a racing team. We used pretty much the same stuff as in the _Actual Size_ decals for windshield bands, team logos, and class markings on the cars.

We all raced our street vehicles, so they were subject to weather, car washes, sun, and all of that sort of thing.

The stuff is bulletproof if applied to a clean surface. You'll get tired of looking at it long before it goes away.

A Clean surface is a must. There have been cases of the decal coming off. Partly due to my midnight tagging using only a rag to wipe the window clean.

Hello Mr. Slayer:

I have mailed you $$ for two. One for me, one for the sticker board we keep in Webb Motorsports. Yours will be near the top.

I am also sending you one of our club MINI5280.org stickers, just to show our appreciation of what you do. Think of the possibilities if everyone you sent an 'Actual Size' to sent you one of THEIR club stickers....!!!

Anyway, thanks, good idea!

Just got home today from vacation and my sticker was in with my stacked up mail. I'll put it on early this week.

Thanks DragonSlayer

I attached mine last nite, cleaned window with paint thinner (Had RainX on windows), then window cleaner. Looks great. Noticed in posting above that JohnNC's was lite purple color, mine was white, are different colors available?

I sent mine a few weeks ago and still nothing I also sent you a PM asking if you had a paypal account I could send a donation to but you never got back to me on that either

Do I even really exist? Is anyone hearing me?? Is this all just a dream?

I had a mass mailing Monday of all the ones that were backed logged while batch 4 was being processed. They should be arriving soon. Far as I know I'm caught up on all the ones requested and have plenty on hand at the moment.
None mailed have come back as yet.
PayPal would be WCSolan@***.net

Don't recall the Buffalo Grove. Give the mail a few more days. It might have gone out in Mass Mailing Monday. I check my mailbox every day to stay on top of the request lately. I average about 3 or 4 day now. Down from almost 10-15 a day when I first announced this offer.

If perhaps things went a miss; Have no worries; I will make it right and have plenty on hand.

"You can any color you want so long as it's white."

Actually I think eithier he had that painted on or had it made in that color.
It's not one of mine.
