Is that CAD/CAM SolidWorks?

I have many years of Catia and Pro-E experience (from work) but now that I am retired, I'd like to have some type of 3D Modeling program at home to play with.

Yup. I used to work for RED Digital after they bought my company. It was a transition from only SolidWorks to only Pro-E. Interesting issues comparing the two. And this coming from the non-engineer LOL
 
have you done anymore tinkering with a license plate solution?
 
in a word...money :eek:

I gotta make sure I can do the other stuff AND this. Since most on MUD are a "fickle" bunch, I have to plan accordingly :doh:

Wait. You mean to tell me everyone says they want to buy three if you mention it on a forum, but then can't be found once it's time to pay up? I don't believe it. You've become so jaded as a business owner. For shame.
 
I like this solution. A little more ground clearance and no big alterations to the vehicle.

How much is this? Im interested. Group buy even better. Can you tell me how much and if there is a group buy coming up?

I love the fact that it's a bolt on and no need to modify the current bumper.

Please let me know.
 
Do a pre-sale to raise the cash. Everyone who pre-pays (or puts down a significant deposit) gets it at a discount, but you still price it to where it's profitable for you. The big upside, however, is that you raise the cash beforehand and buy the supplies after.

The downside for your pre-buyers is they have to put out some $$ and wait a little longer until they receive their product...but you make it worthwhile for them by giving them a discount.
 
The owner has been nom responsive...
I agree with paid in full cash deposit if I can get a discount if you prepay. Depending on price I'm down for that.

Otherwise I'd go with Duc from Houston who installs the welded one for $1000 installed.
 
I would be down for a presale...
