Got the itch today to do something in illustrator, so I started this project this morning and I have been working on it off and on all day, probably not finish till tomorrow but I am liking the results so far!

Vote people plenty of deserving competitors on this list!

GL to all who make the team! And VOTES PEOPLE cast em!

Thanks to Techforce for the decals got them today, came out pretty good! And yes I can be handy with the pen tool, especially if I take my time.

Here is the JPG version and yes I did this quickly. And here it is in EPS format, should be fine for vinyl use. EPS file

What you need is someone handy in illustrator, give me some time.

Basic tools I would recommend to anyone wanting to do car audio, in your case since your budget is a concern I will list some things including ones that I own personally as well as some general prices on some things. Cordless Drill - 18Volt $69 Ryobi Hand Sander - $30 Ryobi Plunge Router $99 Ryobi - with Upward Spiral Bit $30 (get a carbide tipped bit worth the extra money for the time it lasts) Jigsaw - $69 Ryobi Circular saw - $39 Ryobi(good alternative if you cannot afford a table saw) DMM - $150 (Buy a Fluke it will be the last DMM you ever buy period, again worth the money for the time it lasts) Circle Jig - $40 (Definitely a time saver but not required) Carbide tipped drill bits $25-$30 Ryobi Wood Clamps - (Various lengths, I personally have 6"/12"/24"/36" a pair of each) $4-$6 each Corner Clamps $3 each Lineman's pliers $25 Wire Stripper $22 SkewDriver This is a MUST have IMO makes getting screws in tight corners easy to remove and install. Here is a link to one at home depot this attaches to your drill direct. Skewdriver Now to save you money, I use Ryobi brand power tools, they are affordable and work very well for me, all my power tools from my table saw to my cordless drill are Ryobi. As for wood clamps/corner clamps Harbor Freight they are lifetime warranty and probably the cheapest you will find. Circle Jig is gonna run around $40 here is where I got mine. Jasper Jig 200 I use Channel lock brand pliers and such, they are not the cheapest but they for me are very durable and again never let me down. This aside from basic tools, screw drivers and socket sets with ratchets etc.

Thanks for the update, how about just getting a vinyl decal of your signature cut, then you can have someone just slap em on!

Voted for Chode, DJ and Cricket go get em.

i know it seems as such and in some cases this is true, but like myself im sure the others as well as the "small ppl" have put in alot of work. I cant tell you how many hrs I have into my car to make it as such ( lol helps to have a forgiving wife also). I would hate to see this looked upon as a popularity contest.not dogging on you but your comments would dq you in my book as it comes off as spite. again im not tryin to start anything im just sayin bro. some things are best said behind closed doors, maybe an im to Jon would have been in order ? Everyone can see things differently Cricket, that's why we are individuals.

Looks like small and unpopular will lose as usual not that I stood a chance, gl to the rest of ya.

Any updates on more coming in? My order was placed August 20th just curious and anxious

I use all Ryobi tools, and they have never let me down. The last drill I had which was a 14.4v model lasted 7 years before the batteries just stopped taking a charge. I currently have a tablesaw, cordless drill, jigsaw, plunge router, bench grinder and hand sander. All of which perform very well for the price of the tools. IMO there is no reason to buy a Dewalt for home use as that is more a contractor built tool line.

Subbed and waiting on group approval

Hahaha just ordered mine today too #341.. cant wait to get it If the order # is the # of the DD-1 then mine is 331

It's a little rough but this should give you an idea.

Sorry didn't see post count rule, please delete. My apologies.

Guess that answers my question, i just ordered one today

Real name: Chris Bortz Organization in which you are or will be competing in: dB Drag Bass Race Comp vehicle: 2009 Honda Fit Sport Current setup: Alpine CDA-9887, JBL C608GTI MKII Components, RF T400-2, Sundown SAZ1500D, (2) Sundown SA 12's. Why you should be part of the team: Link to full install log; 2009 Honda Fit Install Log Link to dB Drag Stats page; All4Spl dB Drag Stats

Haters gonna hate! That and people set in their old ways are hard pressed sometimes to change. I personally cannot wait till I have the funds available to purchase the DD-1 as it looks awesome and it will compliment my tool set nicely! Keep up the great work Steve!

Something with IE didn't like the first file, looks fine in Firefox anyway here's a link should work in IE fine.

Remember unless it's a printed decal, your average vinyl decal guy will charge you out the butt for a three color vinyl decal with the layering involved. I'll see what I can come up with in Illustrator that is pure vector which can be made into either a layered color sticker or a single color one. *Edit* Here is a quick one, stuck with a font that was clean yet still kinda in the same style of the era of the confederacy. If you like it and want the full vector format for a decal guy just let me know, also the black is just to show the background it is NOT meant to be cut from vinyl, think of it as your window tint. I have over 5000 fonts, so if you know of a font you like, just let me know I will probably have it or can get it if you don't like the one I used here.

I'd look this model up on Toshiba's website, Satellite L770-BT4N22 Laptop it's $545 so just a HAIR over what you set as a price but Toshiba laptops are solid I have owned two and I own a Toshiba Thrive Tablet. Cannot say I have anything bad to say about their products.
