Thumbs up Custom-made "Cotton's" boost controller face plates...

I'm trying to have Mark at www.buickgn.com to make some custom made "Cotton's Performance" face plates for the multi-stage boost controllers that many of us have. For more details, see:http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/gen...ontroller.html

Let me know what you guys think!

Claude.

Claude, I posted this pic on the OTHER web site for Mark. Is this the color scheme you were thinking of? This would look great in M.N.'s ride as well. Jack could even stock a few for his LOYAL customers.

Yes Brian, that's exactly what I was looking for!... (I only had the silver colored sticker)...Like they say..."a picture is worth a thousand words" !...Hope Mark sees it!

Thanks,

Claude.

Yes it does!! I asked if all the outlines could be done in orange, and the words/numbers could remain white, I think it would look even better. Either way, it is sweet looking!

Brian, funny you say this, because I asked for the opposite...well sort of... I asked for white rectangles where the buttons are (like the original Deeds panel)...and the little square around the first ("L") led to be green...or red...

I agree the rectangle areas would look good solid white like the original cover, but if they remain black, the outline would look better orange to match the outer line.
