As for yours, you are going to have a pic to show the style? I like the one I have for the shape at the top compared to that on eon ebay in the other post.
Also, any info on the rad cap?

Okay maybe more than 2 but I know the first couple don't connect. I don't think it is tapered as that would be silly. The cap locks securely so I'm not worried. No leaks yet.

Now that I look at your picture skyhawk (musta missed it)... my design is quite similar, although the drop in the middle won't be as deep, due to the logos, don't want them squashed tiny in the middle.
I'm just in the process of designing the actual logo, and well, need all of your opinions, cuz this is whats going in your car (unless you want something diff)...
For the PROTEGE logo (ie: Sedan owners)) I've come down to these designs (trying to copy that off the back of my car):
And for the MP5 logo (ie: Protege5 owners) I've come down to these designs... (don't really know what to copy, I think I've only seen the badges on the side of cars once)
PLEASE tell me your input, as its the only way I know what you peeps will like!!! The more input I get the faster I'll get on these. I've been really busy in the shop (I now work there full time!)... but I'm gonna have time HOPEFULLY next week, I really want to get on these, cuz they are gonna look sweet... Thanks!

2 ways
1) engraving, then anodizing
2) anodizing, then engraving (eg: cap is red, but logo is silver)...
saided18: true dat. Can't beat $13. Not even I can lol, maybe if I pump out 5000 like these big companies do...
