new project for bat? let us know what ya think

[sponsorsthisway]

ALright, i told bat i was looking at his vinyl and when i saw the upper grill insert and i was wondering if he could possible make an extension of this piece. A stripe that would extend from the front of the hood indent to under the hoodscoop. Would anyone be interested in buying one of these if bat were to put his talent to work???

[baNanA_ryCe]

you're late...we already had this discussion. and its possible, but that's a hella lot of vinyl AND its harder to ship AND its gonna be hella expensive AND who wants to do that anyways? oh TIMEPORT maybe, but his car matches with all that red and white :D

[Blue Batmobile]

Something like this Bob?

[baNanA_ryCe]

wow...looks better than i thought it would.

[Blue Batmobile]

Hehe. Your right though Ben. More Vinyl will be required of this kit, Plus, it will have to be shipped in a shipping cylinder. I'm game though if we get enough interest:).

Bat

[DIABLO6SPEED]

im in

[baNanA_ryCe]

i'm not =)

[MidnightKraze]

I'm in, I would like to have one of those that's looks nice. I also have to get the overlay kit for my headlights like the one's in the pic.

[MidnightKraze]

I guess I would have to go with spectra blue or carbon blue for my silver celica and I'm definitely in on this. Bat, just tell me when you start selling them and I'll get it.

[Blue Batmobile]

I've got a few more kits coming out. TYC Overlay Kit, Tinted 3rd Brakelight Kit, Smoked Reverse light Kit, and a kit for the stock wing:)! Oh..WWest sideskirt kit and a few more ideas I'm pondering right now:).

Bat

[S|Lv3rBu||et]

I'm in.... totally.
For the large front hood....and possibly the stock spoiler.
Although, I think for the larger ones... I'll see if a local window tinting shop could put them on well or something, I'd want those ones to come out perfect.
....and I could reorder the tail and 3rd break light kits I f^cked up..... hehe.

[LiqSilv01]

I'm in as soon as you can Bat for the hood piece.

[sponsorsthisway]

YES!!! Bat thats awesome. Exactly what i was thinking!!! Just let me know when and how much for it if u decide to do it

I think i will stick with white tho. Seems like everyone's telling me white would look best so i might as well do it. My girlfriends mad now because she said white too but i wouldn't listen to her. haha

[Blue Bomber]

Pricing? I'd definitely be interested! :) Especially if you could get a dark gunmetal color.

[Blue Batmobile]

Christian,

You've done alot for me. I'll give you a good deal;).

Bat

[Blue Bomber]

Schweet! :thumbup:

[shyvpboi]

I'm in, but what color for a white car? And what's the new kit for the stock wing, something like the Kaminari cf stock wing?

[Blue Batmobile]

As far as a white car goes, it all depends on what kind of color scheme you got goin' with yer car.

On the stock wing overlay, I'm still playing around with different ideas.

Bat

[TRD GT-S]

I would be interested!

[Blue Bomber]

[Chumpchiggy]

I think I might get on this one too, with a spec blue on the Orange...:thumbup:

[LiqSilv01]

Hey Bat, do you know how long it will be to do this, cause if it's going to be like a week or so, I'll send money now so you can ship it right away.
Oh yeah, how much will this be?

[sponsorsthisway]

Whoa, whoa, me too. thread starter here :)

I'm tryin to help you out by showing my interest!! :D

[MidnightKraze]

I think some of us are ready to get it. Just tell us when, Bat.

[Blue Batmobile]

I appreciate all the interest guys. I want to do the kit first, make sure it's up to my usual standards before I start taking orders. As soon as pics are posted, then you can order. As far as price goes, with shipping and all, we're looking at about $36. CF will ofcourse cost more, probably around $41. I'm going to my supplier tomorrow, hopefully they will be open. I work on ther kit this weekend and hope to have pics up by Sunday. Pretty good turnaround, especially since this thread was only started yesterday! Wish me luck!

Bat

[Blue Batmobile]

BTW-Here's another pic compliments of Blue Bomber. This one is done in a dark metallic grey. I have access to this color and I think it will look good on our cars:). What do you think?

Bat

[SilverCelica01]

i like it!!!!

[sponsorsthisway]

Awesome Bat! HOpe it goes well this weekend ....good luck

[CarbonBlue02]

CF on my red celi,any opinons?

[nate22]

okay..ANOTHER good one for y'all.......

what color on carbon blue?

[MidnightKraze]

I think you should go with white on the carbon blue, it would look nice.

[LiqSilv01]

Go with either silver ( if you have silver rims ) or carbon fiber if you have (black or gunmetal rims. IMO

[Blue Bomber]

IMO Carbon fiber stickers look good on smaller parts, but IMHO, they look kinda cheezy on large parts like the center of the hood. On small parts, you may not notice if it's real or fake carbon fiber (depending on the quality of the vinyl), but it's very apparent on larger parts.

[Blue Batmobile]

Very true, that's why I'm opting not to do CF finish on my hood.

Silver would look nice on CB.
With red, you can go different directions depending on yer color scheme. White or silver would look very nice on red:).

Bat

[Coolwheels00]

Haha, Bat I tried to get you to make this months ago. :) You know I'm in. How hard is it going to be to install a piece this big without getting bubbles in it. I'm in for either silver or metallic grey. I havent decided yet.

[Blue Batmobile]

Hehe...I remember. I'll let you know how install goes:rolleyes:

Bat

[sponsorsthisway]

Great guys! Thanks for all the support. I've been looking around town for places that would do this for me before i knew about newcelica. I guess proposing the idea to Bat was a good idea and i'm glad that this is turning out to be something that so many of you want to join in on. Thanks again.
PS (CarbonBlueo2) White would def look hot on ur car. do it! do it!

[Blue Batmobile]

How much would a graphics place charge to do something like this?

Bat

[sponsorsthisway]

I don't even know bat. i checked somewhere but they said that they couldn't do it because of the the curves and whatnot; that it would have to be done by a prof. place where they could use the computers to get the exact cuts. They said it would prob. be expensive. no idea how much tho

[Blue Batmobile]

Ya, I recon it would be expensive.

[Blue Batmobile]

I purchased some vinyl today for the hood centerstripe overlay. I bought Charcoal Metallic which looks similar to the pic Bomber chopped. Looks really nice. If I have time tomorrow, I'll start fitting the kit:).

Bat

[S|Lv3rBu||et]

Swwwwweeeeeeeeet.

[Blue Batmobile]

Just finished the kit! I worked 4 hours from start to finish and I must say it looks very nice:)! One little technicality though, my vinyl wasn't wide enough to do a one piece kit:(. I was i" short on the ends, so I basically had to make 2 pieces for the main Overlay. It still looks nice though. the only alternative is to get 24" wide vinyl, which means the price of the kit goes up. I washed my car and I'm taking pics tomorrow. Don't know if I'll have them posted tomorrow night, but Thursday for sure. Let me know what you guys think of the 2 piece dilema. Like I said before, I can get wider vinyl, but the kit will cost more.

Bat

[Blue Bomber]

I'd be willing to pay the extra $ to have the single piece. :)

[Blue Batmobile]

Ya...I've decided to go with the one piece hood Overlay. Just looks so much cleaner. I took pics today of the kit. Pics will be up by tomorow:)!

Bat

[TRD GT-S]

yea one piece will look much cleaner....

[Blue Bomber]

So how hard was it to install?

[Blue Batmobile]

It was extremely difficult. Even with using soap and water. The vinyl is 2.5 feet long by 16.5 inches wide. That's alot of vinyl to work with. Especially with the curves! I think what I will end up doing, is offer both types. A one piece and a two piece. Obviously, the 2 piece kit will be cheaper. On a scale of 1 to 10 on install of the one piece, 10 being the most difficult, I give the one piece kit a 9+! the two piece, a 4.

Bat

[N2OInferno]

I don't think it'd be really that hard to install as long as you take your time and use enough soapy water to be able to move it around if you need to. I worked with vinyl very frequently for a year in my photo tech class my senior year at high school. Yeah, it can be a pain, but if you take your time and have some patience it's much easier than you'd think.
So I'm thinking about this, and I'm eventually gonna get a CF hood.. So you think a white one would go nice to match the car, or would it just look better with staying carbon fiber?
Bat, you're not allowed to respond since we all know you're biased. ;)

Getting the air bubbles out was a bi*ch, but I managed. I just installed a lquid Silver Overlay tonight. I removed the charcoal metallic one.

Bat

[Coolwheels00]

Pics, pics, pics. Sweet. I wanna see. :)

[Blue Batmobile]

The first set of pics should be up tonight, given I have the time. Cross yer fingers:rolleyes:

Bat

[Blue Bomber]

Fingers crossed! ;)

[CarbonBlue02]

I would like to order a white one,,,ASAP

[sponsorsthisway]

Bat, i put my stripes on my car myself. Would you reccomend prof install on the one piece or do u think i could handle it as long as i take my time???

[Blue Batmobile]

You can install yourself, just be Patient and take Your Time!

and im definitely in on this, have a red celi... gonna go with white or silver, not sure yet.

thanks Bat!

I use a soap and water solution. Works great for applying all my kits:). Also, my kits come with instructions;). Not only that, if you have any questions, you can always email me. I'd be more than happy to help you out;).

Bat

[CeLuKaGT]

I'm definitely in. Bat=god.

[Blue Batmobile]

oh stop:chuckles: Email me for a kit;).

[Blue Batmobile]

Here's a list of projects I've just completed:v11 TYC Overlay Kit,h7 Headlight Kit for those with TRD Covers, updated h5 Headlight Kit and sm1 Sidemarker kits utilizing NEW Smoke Tint, HVAC Overlay Kit. More are in the works as we speak;). If there's anything you guys would like to see done, post here:).

Bat

[baNanA_ryCe]

pics??

[aZnTrD2k]

Bat, when you do the overlay for peeps like me that has the TRD covers, IMO it'll look good if the overlay's shiny instead of smoked or smoke can be an option, I dunno.

Make a rectangular carbonfiber overlay that can go behind the plates on the truck:D

[Blue Batmobile]

The new smoke tint I am using looks alot like the smoke tint on Jotan's old Celica. Clear but dark, not frosted like the tint I've been using.

Bat

[aZnTrD2k]

can't wait for the pics:D
