AutoTooner VX Tshirts...

[Cyrk]

Just emailed them to see about getting a VX shirt made... if they can get at least 20 committed members then there is no charge for
the artwork... it would be a stock one, and all the colors will be available! Looks like the shirts are around 13 bucks.

Too cool... I'm in.

[kobie]

I'm in too... What do I have to do? Did they mention anything about posters? I don't see an option on the website.

[johnnyapollo]

I'm in for at least 2.

-- John

[Cyrk]

No posters... only shirts... When we get more responses I will contact them again too move forward.

-Dave

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

I'm in too if this comes to pass! I Don't have any VX apparel.

[Jonnie]

I'm in...

Jon

[Joe_Black]

Count me in for at least two as well. ;Dy;

[ScottinMA]

I'd like one for sure.

[Anita]

3 here

[kpaske]

Cool, I'd probably buy one too. Maybe someone with a business license could get the wholesale price on these.

I couldn't find anything on the website about the quality of T-Shirts and printing process they use. I'd certainly be most interested if they use quality materials that will last for a long time.

[Heraclid]

I recently was looking around at these and turned up a handful of good sites, but I think they were all in the UK. The Trooper pic from the link given is exactly the same as one on a UK site called Koolart. I knew I had seen that Trooper drawing before. Hmmm.

I found one site with a lot of them with that "droopy" look to the wheels that I personally didn't like, but maybe some of you do.

For a few other options to consider, take a look at these three I had been considering a while back:

cartooncars.com
koolart.co.uk
scribblymotor.co.uk

Oh, and by the way, when I was looking into this a bit ago, I got inspired to do a bit of it myself. Sort of a surprise project really, but then someone went and decided to rallycross a Merkur instead. :-) You can see it was done shortly after the ERS rally sprint in Starke because I depicted the new wheels. Anyway, here's what I had started on...

[Francesco Rizzo]

sweet, I just sent an H2 t-shirt to my pops, I'm gonna need a VX one to go with it so count me in for at least one

[thedutchguy]

What colour will the artwork be done in?
I'm in for a Yellow (proton) one!

[Soulpower]

Count me in!!!!

[Maugan_VX]

put me down for one, as long as I like the design.

[Joe_Black]

Dude! That's awesome! Hey, I never said I'd stop campaigning the Dragon. I just wanted something a bit more competitive for the more serious venues. I've got to drive my VX everyday. ;Do;

[Heraclid]

Yeah, same here... kinda does make me wish I had a car to thrash around. Haven't worked up the nerve to ask to use the Saturn wagon (don't laugh, it's a peppy little thing) yet, but my parents barely drive it anymore since Dad picked up a Honda Pilot. Mom does run a few errands in it only because she let her 3000GT sit around and now it's practically ready for the scrap heap because of neglect. I don't want to see another perfectly good car go to waste. :-(

[Sheik-YurBooty]

Im in too!

[VCrossfan]

Yep count me in...

[thebear54]

Count me in for two of those....

[Cyrk]

OK, they are going to work on the artwork this weekend should have a sample pic to post early next week... hope they do a nice job. They are going to use the style that the FX is in.

http://i.b5z.net/i/u/831803/i/fx_black.jpg

And all the colors will be available.

Cool!

-Dave

[StormTROOPER]

Odd that they didn't already have a auto toon of the TAZmanian-devil of vehicles (with its horns & fangs) It will be interesting to see if they can capture the lil beast in their toon. (please post pic)

[Heraclid]

Am I the only one that thinks the pic should be more dynamic?

[Anita]

With the hope that the pic owner VXR wont mind I post this.. I happen to love the look of this shot ... very very cool! Not saying that I prefer it for a shirt..I just wanted to share...;Dr;

http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/11333.jpg

Quite a face!

[jimbo]

Very reptilian. (above ^)

[transio]

I'll take one in yellow :)

[WormGod]

If the graphic looks good, I am in. Would like to see it forst though. ;)

[Soulpower]

Anita,
That pic would look great on a black t-shirt. Thinking of getting it made? Count me in for 2!!!

[Anita]

Soulpower,

Not my pic. Belongs to VXR. You would have to get his permission and ask him for a high resolution version.

[redat9]

Shirts are up.

[Cyrk]

Looks great... wish that the front turn signal and pill slots/ license plate area were higher up, but nice job!

lol, guess I'm driving a "Lime" instead of a "Dragon" :)

[Maugan_VX]

I approved of the design, and placed my order.

nice work.

^ They got my color right, I've always driven a black VX.

[MZ-N10]

is there way to get a bigger picture?

[Cyrk]

I just spoke to them about trying to fix the area below the headlights, they are going to try and work on it... fingers crossed.

[johnnyapollo]

Hey David,

So should we wait before ordering or what? Also, do they make that graphic available as a poster or anything?

-- John

[SGT.BATGUANO]

Antenna?

Big tire'd, small wheeled 4x4 version?

[redat9]

Here is a larger version, of the new one ready to go.

[thebear54]

Just ordered two of those white VX Tees...Looks awsome!!
John:D

[Cyrk]

That is the best we are getting... I wish they could have fixed the parking light so it was under the headlight but they were nice enough to redo it to fix the lower part for us... and IT LOOKS GREAT!

Thanks again Greg, and please keep us posted if you guys will be offering posters or stickers etc... in the future.

-Dave

[VXMAN]

Nice job. I just bought 2 myself. Thanks for getting this project done, and in a very timely manner too!

:D

Dave...

[doubleadesign]

ordered one.
not worried about the tiny details since it is more of a caricature than anything else.
though my tires are almost that big! ; )

[nyc #1 ironman]

Is it 25% off from the $12.99 they have the shirt priced at? Which would make it $9.25, or no? Also, If I got the white would it show up well on a white Tee?

[CSTYLES]

Just bought mine.

Yes, it is 25% off of the 12.99 (so $3.25 off).
$3.85 shipping so its a wash, free shipping.

I was wondering about other color t-shirts too.

[johnnyapollo]

I ordered 2 and the 25% does apply on top of the sale price. I wish they had 2x sizes - I would order more if they did.

-- John

[omegavx]

Will there be any custom text along with the graphic, or is it simply the graphic on a white shirt?? It says you can customize it, but then has no option to do so, or at least not that I've been able to find.

[ISCE]

Thanks to all to help make this happen, they look great!

Jay

[nyc #1 ironman]

Just ordered mine. These shirts are hot ... Thanks again for your efforts on arranging this.

[ScottinMA]

Following through on my order. Thanks to all for making it possible....and too autotooner for the good price.

[StormTROOPER]

Xcellent artwork, better than I imagined, they really caught the lil Tazmanian devil beast. :evil: :thumbup:

[Soulpower]

Just made good on my promise to buy, woo hoo! Cant wait!

[johnnyapollo]

Here ya go...

Too bad this isn't the real image.

[Cyrk]

Nice John, but this is more like it... just like mine!!

Clears, skidplate, foglights, marker lights, gauge pod, antenna, Vehicross badges, chrome rims and mirror covers!

[Soulpower]

Cyrk,
I love that picture, man. Maybe you should submit that to autotooner and see if could use it instead. Cool.....very cool!

[Soulpower]

Someone please submit that to autotooner.

[johnnyapollo]

Hey Dave,

Looks like you spent more than the 5 minutes that I did to photochop!

-- John

[Cyrk]

I am a dork... lol, going to see how much it would be to make my VX into a shirt.

Greg just emailed me he is going to make mine on the house for all my help getting this going! Sweet!

[johnnyapollo]

You need to fix the wheels then...

[Cyrk]

True, but got no more time today to mess with it I asked Autotooner if they can do it... too fun.

[Soulpower]

Cyrk,
Ask for 2 t-shirts with your design and i'll buy one off of u!

[Capri]

I'd be interested in getting Cyrk's design!

[raider]

Hi everyone. I'm fairly new to the site but have been reading up on the VX since this past January. I then bought my 2000 Ebony in april of this year and I absolutely love it. 34,000 miles and debadged. No other mods. Probably 95% of the info I've received has been from this site and a few others that are very good as well.
btw-please count me in on a couple of those T-Shirts.
Raider

[StormTROOPER]

Man I'm so envious of you artist with photoshop, as long as you're PERFECTING it that door-line not matching the cladding door-line really sticks out. Good work

[transio]

Ordered my Proton. Looks great! :)

[redat9]

hahahah, you guys are too funny. great responses

[thedutchguy]

How does it work with the discount?
I ordered but don't seem to get one.
Can't find anyplace to put a vehicross code?
Only for US citizens?

[thebear54]

Hey Dutchguy,
On the bottom of the order form is a little box that(I think said discounts) just type in the word VehiCROSS and it will automatically take the 25% off. Should work for Dutch people too...it did for me.
John(Hans)

[VX crazy]

Man this is turning out to be a long thread, I ordered 3 yesterday! 2 for me and 1 for someone else! They looks cool!

[Cyrk]

Made me a new footer...

[thedutchguy]

OK, I feel like a complete idiot now, cause I can't find no box to click or space to enter text anywhere on any page, could anybody please specify where on what page you have to enter your discount code?????

[Soulpower]

When checking out, after choosing the size and color, continue to "account info", then to "shipping & payment", below payment method, there is a "Coupon/Gift Certificate" tab, enter "vehicross" there for the discount. Good luck!

[TechnoPope]

Thanks Cyrk for getting this going. I ordered mine today. I had no problem with the discount but I could not figure out how to get the custom lettering. Besides custom text, wouldn't it look great if we could get our custom license plates overlaid on the design?

[thedutchguy]

thnx soulpower, I see it now, I hope I can still get it.

[vxkween]

Cyrk...thanks for getting this t-shirt thing together, ordered ours and they are on the way!!!

[Maugan_VX]

just got my shirt last night. Its pretty nice, but it could probably use the vehicross logo on the front instead of the little picture.

IMO

[Hotsauce]

OK, I'm in, I ordered 2. Pity they don't do them on black, proton would look good.

John C.

[thebear54]

Maybe we could talk AutoTooner into building another shirt to include the VX logo. How about it? Any chance? I would buy a couple of those to add to the two I've already bought:D
John

[thebear54]

...by the way HotSauce...since you are in Yonkers why don't you attend the Monticello,NY VX Meet which is(hopefully) coming up sometime in December. Would love to see a Photon mixed in there. John:D

[Maugan_VX]

I'm not sure if the vehicross logo is a registered trademark. I'm sure it is. In which case I don't think AT could use it unless they got permission from isuzu, which I don't think would happen either. I just mentioned it as a suggestion.

[kobie]

ordered mine.

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

I ordered "2" VX shirts (white VX) for yours truly and "1" of Dom's (black) Dodge Charger from "Fast & the Furious" for my Brother's upcoming birthday.

I asked for dark colored t-shirts...but from what I'm hearing only white tee's are available? It's not that I hate white shirts...its that I can never seem to keep them from getting stained in some manner! I got a great looking John Force "white" T-shirt that try as I might seems to get a step closer to being ruined each time I wear it!!!!!!!!!;eekb;

[transio]

Got Mine !!!!!

It looks pretty cool! :cool:

[Maugan_VX]

mine just looks like a black blob from far away :(

[redat9]

nice

[doubleadesign]

got mine today. my wife loves to laugh at the inner geek in me.

[WormGod]

Cyrk, hope you dont mind that I used your base design to create a footer myself. I want to swap out the footer I use on all the other forums I browse. I see it as publicity for the VX anyways. ;)

Of course, I changed your design quite a bit to match my VX more, so it's not a direct hack. :p

Once I upload it to my site I'll post it. Got bored at work today so I thought I would do a little something ya know.

Oh, bought 2 shirts. One just isnt enough. ;)

[Cyrk]

Gary talk about bored... this is what I was workin on the other day... lol.

[thedutchguy]

Got mine this week.
No discount, but no xtra shipping charges as well.
Bit disapointed about the quality though.
1/ The fabric is a bit on the thin side.
2/The Pic wasn't as sharp as expected.
3/The pic was a bit high on the shirt to my liking.

I wonder how many times you're able to wash it before the pic fades or the shirt looks like a dress?

Anyway, the wife was certain in her judgement: "It's not worth $5,00" she said.

I'm afraid I agree.

If I had a really sharp pic, I'd buy my own T-shirt and make one of my own with the inkjet and some special paper as I've done in the past.

The result would be much better.:(

[geshaw30]

I might suggest you turn it inside out then cold water wash. Line dry. I threw mine in using warm water and then into the dryer. It faded and cracked. A couple more washes like that one and I'm afraid it'll be all done. Disappointing

[Sheik-YurBooty]

Cyrk, just wanna thank you for getting this Tee Shirt thing to become a reality!......I got two sent to me last week & both are just great!...As someone has already stated, they should only offer more shirt colors. I would without a doubt love to get some w/ black shirts & red shirts. My Proton would really stand out w/ those backgrounds. PS. skidplate , antenna & spoiler would also be nice....Anyway just wanted to thank ya! ..Bruce

[WormGod]

Yep, got my shirts as well. For the price, I think they are great. I missed the discount post, but no worries. I like them a lot. My little lady is a total designer clothing buff and ONLY wears expensive "crap". But, she is such a big fan of my "cute car" that she wants the other shirt I bought. It will be her "pj shirt" she says. That's cool though. I wanna roll over in the morning and see a cute face and a kick *** car staring back at me. ;)

[StormTROOPER]

I'm not a T-shirt wearing guy, so instead that toon would make a great tatoo.;eekb;... j.k. I'm a little VX crazy (not VX insane). Wish they printed them on sweatshirts. In my opinion the VX is autoons best design and may increase the interest in the VX, but then I may be bias.;) BTW, the yellow is the best lookin toon, what happened to the black :confused: (looks more like dark gray)

[transio]

Washed mine inside out w/ cold water and dried on warm, and it still cracked and faded. I personally won't ever buy an autotooner t-shirt again, and wouldn't recommend any more members here buy them.

[Cyrk]

Man that sucks...

[WormGod]

Use it as a workshop shirt. Only wear it when doing VX care and then handwash it in COLD water, hang dry. It's drying that tends to tear up colorforms/iron-ons. I have gotten a shirt from them before and it still looks pretty good (not perfect).

[Francesco Rizzo]

I never got my stupid shirt.. not the one I ordered from the 8th or the second I ordered two weeks ago.. I sent them a nasty e-mail.. anyway.. I was looking for some more contact info.. and in their FAQ section is says:

How do I wash my shirt
Wash cold water,and for drying use hang dry.

I guess avoid the dryer

[Maugan_VX]

^ yeah, just like every other tshirt I own.

:rolleyes:

I'm just as disappointed as the rest of you, and I haven't even washed mine yet. Been sitting the hamper all vacation.

[Hanalei]

Your best bet, if your not crazy about the t-shirts from Autotooner, is to make your own. Buy the photo transfer paper, print YOUR VX on it and iron it onto a cotton tee (I'm gonna do my yellow Proton on a black tee). Care wise, inside out in cold water and Woolite and hang dry. No guarantee that it won't fade eventually but it'll cost next to nothing to make and you'll have your truck on it.

[Hanalei]

That photo of your VX is totally awesome. Loved it so much that I saved it as the background on my work computer!

If you try yellow on a black shirt look carefully for ink jet iron-on paper for dark shirts. I just did one on black at it came out great with this paper. It is new I think and harder to find. If I remember correctly, with all the shopping going on, I got it at Office Max. (route 1, New Brunswick)

[mrtew]

I got my shirts about three days after I ordered them! I couldn't believe they could physically get there that fast! Now I am afraid to wash them but I sure do love them. Thanks!

[redat9]

hope everyone got their shirts ok

[redat9]

Any new designs?

I really love the look of VXR's pic. I would go for a shirt with this on.
