One without the pictures and just the text would be pretty cool too. My car still has suspension so those graphics dont suit it

Exactly, those low cars are way too ricer for me.....
A nice tastefull "normally" lowered mx5 forum sticker would great, not this drag your arse on the ground look SOME of you are in to !!!
What happened to this site, all of a sudden everyone is club roadster style Yo!
EDIT: Which was why i voted for the bottom one in the initial page.....way more universal.

I am more meaning the impression the car design on the stickers will portray the whole forum....
I am keen to run a sticker but not if it looks roadster style. Just does not suit a middle age, overweight grey haired dude in a race/performance MX5.
I am pushing it (standing with associates, dignity, etc) in a hairdressers car let alone the club roadster style sticker!!

Separate stickers for cars with text and wheels/tyres, so you can set your own ride height

We need to come up with a universal sticker as not everyone is into slam.

I thought the bottom option of the initial suggestion was pretty good for a general (not slammed, not old guy) look.....

The bottom one of these got the most yes's so far I think, it does cover the whole range really well.
True the pic's do show the cars lowered I doubt anyone is really gunna get a magnifying glass out to inspect them. The text draws your eye well. If it rubs you up the wrong way it would be easy to take a razor blade to the sticker before it's applied.

the sticker will be cut out of vinyl i assume so will be in pieces, set your own ride height....
the 3rd option in initial suggestion looks like an NC, and who even drives those? looks slight tacky.

Everyone has there own desires into how the sticker should look like, It would be better if one of the moderators jumped on board and made a simple decision into the final design concept.

I have access to a vinyl cutter/plotter so once a final design has been made I can cut them out and I'll just charge for the vinyl and postage if any so around $5 posted and $3 for the sticker. Was thinking around the 40cm x 25cm size.
Let me know if anyone is keen.

Here is my preference. I removed the NC as no-one on here who posts up has one and it did look a little wonky. I also replaced the springs in the cars, and un-rollerskated the wheels a little as they were a tad undersized. As above, those who want the sticker to have the appearance of no-springs and small wheels can do so by moving the tyre elements around to their hearts content, perhaps even making them so they dont touch the ground, surely the ultimate 'slammers' goal
Edit: Dont know why the preview shows in negative colours? Can assure you the file (when clicked on) displays correctly. Looks cool negative though
Thanks for the kind offer of printing, that would be great. Just a thought though, 40cm wide is waaaayyyy too big. I was thinking more like 20cm wide max.

That would be huge. I'd imagine you'd probably be better off with around half of that.
Remember legalities of stickers on windows

Looks better ^ edges could be tidied up a bit due to my failure to do so, if anyone wants the photoshop file with all the layers separated, (na, nb wheels etc) i'd be happy to upload it.
Also, what are the legalities of stickers on windows? Wasn't aware of any

Was planning to put a massive #YOLO on the back of my hardtop for comical purposes.

What about 150mm wide?
I do like the NA/NB one, is there some other nicer texts we could use :]?

Ok, tried out some smoothing, and tried a few different fonts. I think the other one looks just fine, but fonts are quite personal things I guess.
I think once people have settled on a design, it would be good to take that one and clean it up properly. That's a job for later though.
