Jon.. Thanks that looks good :tup: , should I work from this .jpg, or are you going to send me a different file to work from?

I'll work on geometry for the intercooled in this font and post a pic of what I come up with so you can make comments, suggestions or give me approval.

Thanks for your help.........STEVE

What about just the truck number in the sy/ty font ? can anyone chop that to see how it looks ?

Re: Custom Throttle Body Plates (Potential GP)

OK... I sent the INTERCOOLED image ina fairly large format. I hope it works out.
If for any reason it doesn't, just let me know and I'll try something else.
Now, we need to make a decision on how we want them done.... Here are a couple ideas I had.
Personally... I am totally hooked on the third one with intercooled on a slant.

Jon if you get a chance, can you chop one up with just the truck # in sy/ty font? I'm curious how it would look

I tried it already and frankly, it looked out of place. Here it is again with your number.
Not too bad, but mine with the 2's didn't look good at all. It would probably look in another font.

NUMER THREE! NUMBER THREE! NUMBER THREE!

I think that looks PERFECT!

Above is a link to the gallery where I put pics of the plates.I've added INTERCOOLED.

I think the INTER look a little too thick....Comments?

Hey Jon What font did you use for the numbers on your plate? What is the font that you used for the intercooled? Is it one i can get, so I can use it in my software?

Thanks for the Intrest, and help.............

Well, to answer your questions....

I agree that some of the letters look fairly thick. That one image I sent should have them thinner. If not then I can make another. Do you prefer the outline image or the solid text image?

The numbers on my plate were done using "SUBWAY" font. The other plate with numbers only is the same font as intercooled.

I created that font myself and called it "SYCLONE" but it's not completely finished yet. I have all of the CAPS, numbers and most of the punctuation completed. I'm still working on lowercase. I'll type out anyting you want with it but I am not ready to share it just yet. I am constantly making changes to it to get the overlap and spacing correct.

Umm, Don... what Ty? It wasn't in your backyard.

Sorry about that, I couldn't resist. In all seriousness, can you post a pic of it, since I'm interested in what these things look like in real life. Thanks.

Re: Custom Throttle Body Plates (Potential GP)

Ok, I tried PMing about this, but I didn't get any response. The brushed finish will match the finish on a stock upper intake, correct?

PM sent.......The finish on the "brushed" aluminum plate, is a finer finish than the finish on the upper intake.(finer than the finish on the upper intakes on my trucks) It is not shiny, more of a matte finish.
