sicivic Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hello fellow Legacygt community. I have been selling a nice custom brushed aluminum battery tie down for the nissan community for a while and would love to branch into the Legacy community and offer ya'll a similar great product. I have attached a pic of an example. I understand its just a dress up item but many of the maxima owners have loved them. I wanted to get your input about the wording and what seems to have the most interest. Throw out your ideas. I'm all ears. I would love to make some "Legacy" ones but I'm trying to stay away from wording that would be infringing on trademarks for the time being. I was thinking "2.5 GT" or "2.5 GT Spec.B" or "AWD" or "EJ255". I can also make custom one-off on an individual basis. It may be hard to tell, but the lettering is cut all the way thru the part. And yes, I will go thru the proper registration on here to sell them once there is interest and I've had them manufactured. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff275/shamusyandle/IMG_8764.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will PM you about a custom one. And yes, I will become a vendor on here before I start selling them. Just trying to see if there is interest first.

blaze741 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'd be interested given a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicivic Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'd be interested given a price. Price should be under $40 shipped. Custom one-off ones will be significantly more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Very reasonable price if we can manage to agree on what it says. The custom is a LOT more but would be worth the difference if I dislike what the standard product says. I particularly appreciate the option of toally custom. Thats really nice.

blaze741 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 simple text like "SUBARU" or "LEGACY" would make it easier to sell. or even "LEGACYGT.COM" would be sweet given permission was there. Update us! I'm sure this would be awesome given the demand for the STI battery tie down. I never see those last very long in the classifieds.

Update us! I'm sure this would be awesome given the demand for the STI battery tie down. I never see those last very long in the classifieds. I would love to do "SUBARU" or "LEGACY" but I will have to get the product officially licensed first to avoid trademark infringements. LEGACYGT.COM might be hard to fit lengthwise on the tie down. Also, you have a pic of the STI one you are talking about? I would love to see an example. Here are few examples so far: http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff275/shamusyandle/25GTpictiedownscreenshot.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff275/shamusyandle/AWDtiedown.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosAngelesLGT Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I hate the "2.5" and "GT" being differend sizes. Just because the badges do doesn't mean the product should. The "AWD" looks hAWt. "LegacyGT.com" would be awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"LegacyGT.com" would be awesome too. I could make the "2.5" and "GT" the same size if you want. This is the reason for this thread. Its feedback! I've had folks say just saying "Battery" would be cool. Or "Subie" Throw out some more ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm thinking about this all wrong. The LGT already have all kinds of bling. The Outback is silver and has nothing so far. I've got $40 cash in hand for one that says "2.5 XT" all in the same type size as the "GT" of "2.5 GT". Change the G to an X, up the 2.5 size and I'm sold. Present for the wife. Make it snappy. (Joke about the snappy part!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I can see how "Subaru" might present trademark issues, but I believe "legacy" is just a word in the English language and I fail to see how that could be trademarked in and of itself. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
