So I've loved the OLD Toyota "TEQ" logo since I first seen it but wasn't sure if it would fit with the celica.
When I seen a sticker verion of it on Jon's (808celica) car I liked it even more. But couldn't find any available for purchase and didn't want a sticker, though I considered it. Finally decided to create one, but kept putting it of, but seeing as I've had free time recently I'm going to try to make one. Found some triangular dowels, cut the to make the lettering and found a perfect sized ring.  Hopefully Monday-Wednesday I will be attempting to vacuum form and cast a resin/plastic mold of it.. I'm pretty excited to see how it comes together. And I'll post the results. Thanks for reading  Let me know what you think This post has been edited by smkr3w: Nov 10, 2012 - 4:14 PM --------------------  6gcHeroes:808hectortimmybatmandiegotigamak |

I'm not too sure as I haven't sent anything from the US I Aus either! Haha. Best bet is to just look on USPS sites etc and put in the weight and see how much it is, and average time it takes.
Some of the other guys might have a better way though. -------------------- |

How'd you send me my splitters then? 0.o lol When I sent him signal lights, it was like double cost of normal US shipping.
