Hey All,

I found a company that would like to do custom seat belt pads for us at a pretty good price for a GROUP buy!

if anyone is interested POST in this thread....

I am going for something like this:

___________
ephatch.com
Honda Civic Si
___________

the font will be in the font that is on the website, i think it will look pretty dope, any color you want blue on black, black on blue, red on black, black on red...whatever color you want they have...

will post the price for a group buy once they get back to me (in alittle from now)

once they get back to me and if enough of us are interested the price will be a good one, and u all can paypal me if you want and i will have them send to you...or if you feel better by paypaling them you can as well....

Eric

anyother suggestions on what you guys think the logo on teh sholder pads should look post that too, nothing is written in stone yet, just need enough of us that want the same kind, or the group buy wont work right!

No offense, but I think all seat belt pads are pretty ricey unless you have them on your 5 point harrness that's attached to a roll cage.

look if you dont have anything good to say about the topic keep your mouth shut...i was asking for people wanting to do group buys, not people to come in this thread to start bashing a idea i was going to do...

I think a shoulder pad is a great idea; it would be cool to find the suede material of our seats and use that with black stitching of the logo, not too ricey, very subtle. That would look good. Also if you/they could use the same suede material and desighn something that would wrap around the hole in the headrest and over the shoulder where the seatbelt rubs. I think this will protect the seats and would look good. Just an idea.

I've got nice thick black pads on both my Hondas with no graphics. They look nice and boy does it cut down on the shoulder/boobie chafing during auto-x.

they contacted me back, and they said that they can do the suade material, with the red stitching around teh sides...with ephatch.com and honda civic si as the wording...anyone have anyother ideas for wording?

I would dig the black suede with red stitching with the Civic Si emblem (Silver letters with red border). Something like that.

suede with black stitching and the si emblem sounds pretty good. how much would these run for?

I think Black Suade, Red Stitching and either a Red embrodered "Si" or Red embrordered with a silver border around the lettering (like the actual emblem on the hatch).

HOWEVER - The Si must be in the same font/style as the real deal or it would look like ass...

Also, what about snaps or a zipper instead of that shitty velcro mine are made of now??? It never stays closed!!!

just my two cents..

Yes, please try to shoot for snaps or a zipper instead of velcro.

definitely interested.

black suede, red stitching, same 'civic si' logo that is on oe floormats. i would prefer snaps or zippers but would probably buy regardless.

I second this!

But because I live in Canada your Si is our SiR:'(

Would anyone go for EP3 instead?;)

I don't agree with that, seat belt pads are VERY useful. After having my neck got cut and burn by the seat belt in an accident you won't think it is useless and RICEY.

here is what this company has come up with so far....they are doing 3 more for us

my02si
05-15-2003, 05:51 AM
I like them but I think the Si needs to be Red You said three more are on the way though right?

BlackNRedSi
05-15-2003, 05:54 AM
yes there are....

suggestions on that ??? Si red, whatabout the honda name....

o and should we ditch the EPHATCH.COM?

my02si
05-15-2003, 05:56 AM
The blue on black is great but I still want the black with red stitching and just SI on them...

chet

If we want both "Honda Si" and "ephatch.com" on them, we should get one on each side, or just separate them altogther. I think both of them on one side of the pad is going to just be too much information. I still want Civic Si emblem (red on black). that's all. The blue won't cut it for me.

BlackNRedSi
05-15-2003, 03:04 PM
ok, will have them do it for you....

here is another...

ditch the www.ephatch.com part all together

just have the same design thats on the floormats like poppasp1ce said. thats a good idea.

i wont buy it if its some odd color on it like blue, either. just make it neutral, bro!

chet
05-16-2003, 04:30 PM
Trippz and Poppaspice1 are right. If it doesn't match, then why?
It shouldn't be that hard to match the floor mats.

i would be interested, i would need them for front and back. i have an 8 year old son that hates when the chest belt rubs his neck. i also was thinkin maybe the pads would help eliminate the rubbing on my drivers seat and the worn spot from it.
i would be interested in a black pad w/ "civic si" just like the floormats also....since i have them in my car. the ones on ebay look like some shit to me.
let us know how this turns out. do they need a pic of the floormat "civic Si" if so i am sure one of us would be more than happy to help

Ditch the Ephatch.com

it just needs Civic SI Civic = white text Si = REd

just look at the floormats and copy that....

Or maybe just say SI



Cause I debadged my civic --- so its not longer a civic :)

BlackNRedSi
05-21-2003, 05:59 AM
ok guys...yah sorry for the wait, i will grab a photo of the SI on the floor mat and have them copy that...

here are 3 more shots of the other ones they did

my02si
05-21-2003, 06:12 AM
Pretty good, but I am still want just the SI, keep up the good work. Josh

ok, they are working on that one right now! :)

TrippZ

seriously what the hell did they do, copy ephatch.com from here, open up Paint, and then slap "Honda Civic Si" on it?

im sorry, btu that looks utterly low quality. I'm just trying to voice my opinion, so if i sound like an a-hole, then sorry.

copy the floor mats and you'll be rich, tell them that.

uh, pads are ricey. i'm sure you can get some spoon ones from ebay, along with the spoon tissue box cover. i actually want the tissue box cover though, i wasn't making fun of that. anyways, pads - rice. :p

I don't care if they are rice or wheat or fucking barley, I find them helpful during autocross events, always hated the feel of regular seatbelts anyway. And if they're are rice, what's the difference with them being Spoon from Ebay or custom?
