need some feedback

What's up guys. I know there a lot of companies that make the vinyl roundel overlays to cover up the blue on the BMW roundel. I was thinking about making some and selling them on here. Along with the full set of roundel overlays (hood, trunk lid, steering wheel, wheels), I would also include vinyl that would cover up the orange reflector on the sport headlights with the clear indicator. This would be a good alternative for those that are not comfortable opening up there headlight to modify their conrer lense to remove the orange reflector. Color options would be either color-matched reflector overlays (if available) or standard silver overlays. I currently have the roundel set on my X5 as well as the overlay for the orange reflector on the corner light. I will post pics of it later tonight when I get home from work. I just wanted to see if you guys would be interested in em.

Post up your thoughts.

I don't know if you'd get many customers since there are many vendors out there already selling the roundel overlays. However, the sport headlight overlays may be a hot seller!

Well I would probably offer it 3 different ways. The first way would be a full roundel set inculding the reflector overlays. The second would be the reflector overlays alone. The third way would be the roundel overlay set alone. Projected pricing would probably be $12.50 for the roundel overlays by themselves, $5 for the reflector overlays by themselves, or $15 for the roundel overlays AND reflector overlays.

It's still just a feeler though.

I'd say go for it for it. For that price, you'll definitely get many people interested.

I'd be interested in the reflector overlay. Does it look anything like the EuroClear's corners? I've seen some real hack jobs done on those orange reflector in the past. Post pix post hast.

I'm still perfecting the template for the reflector overlay. I currently have a temporary overlay on my car right now. It looks okay, but definitely not as clean as what the final product would be. Like I said, I'll post pics when I get home tonight.
