Cool SmoothLock news - Trunk versions and site banners

First of all, let me say that I had no idea that SmoothLocks would go over so well.

I have heard nothing but compliments from people who got them, and it never ceases to amaze people how much of a difference a minor appearance change makes. It is pretty neat from my standpoint.

For those who have them and are interested, I made some cool banners for people to put on their site.

http://www.phantomss.com/smoothlock/banners/

Of course, text links work as well. Just point them to http://www.smoothlock.com !

Thanks to anyone who links to the SmoothLock site.

Now to address the BIG issue surrounding these...trunk versions

I have mentioned before in this thread that I was considering making trunk versions.

I am happy to say that I am going to try to have them made! It might take a few weeks to complete production, and as I mentioned before I may need some help getting it rolling by having people pre-order them. From what I understand, no one will ind doing this to help expedite things.

Tomorrow I am going see if I can investigate it a bit further.

Once the green light is given on the trunk versions, I will let everyone know with pre-order information both here and also if you have previously ordered a set, I will send you an e-mail about it.

Sit tight, I will let everyone know what happens. Thanks to all invoved!

I'm in for a complete set (2 doors and 1 trunk), and willing to pre-order if needed. Contact me if you'd like, or I'll watch this thread for the "go" word.

Interested!


Just a question though, on all the pictures I've seen, everyone has the same color door HANDLE as the colour of the car. I have a mystic teal '96 camaro but my handle is black? Do most people paint their handles or does it come like that stock?

Eitherway, I definatley would get the trunk one and possibly sides.

I noted the same thing. I'll probably be pulling my handles and painting them along with a few other parts this spring.

I just wish I didn't have to buy my paint 1/2 ounce at a time.

I'll take a trunk version...
Between that and my spring Smoothlock giveaway, I'll have a total set.

Also - you have already seen my lighting guide website - and now my other website (that is still in production) has one too. You can check it out here.

Your year model came with black handles. I think 97 or 98+ came with painted ones.

Trunk keyhole is smaller in diameter.

I'm in...how do we "pre-order"? Will the trunk version be the same black as the door version or will it need to be primed and painted?
