(Real ZIPPO)!! Nissan Maxima Lighters

hey whats up guys. this is just a thought. i work at a Real Zippo Distributor and i can actually get Zippo lighters with whatever engraving on it.
minimum order is 50. but the only catch is that they all have to be the same art. if you guys want, maybe someone can have a nice sketch, or a nice drawing of a maxima and if everyone agrees on the drawing, then i can order it. if this will to work, let me know. each zippo will cost 18 shipped. It cannot say nissan or maxima on it since zippo is not licensed with nissan. maybe someone can have a nice drawing of a fixed up one. let me know. if there are enough people interested on it. then we will go from there.
i just thought it would be nice to have a zippo with a maxima on it.

we can put maxima.org on it. will maxima.org accept that?
also, we can do at least some kind of sketch on it. i think it will be same price. which would be a cool font for maxima.org?

if we get 50 or more people, then i can go ahead and place an order. so hurry guys.

I dont like being rushed but yea, i think a maxima.org slogan, or something nissan would be cooler than an etched picture of a maxima

I might get flamed, but it should be pointed out that you really do need to approve this first with Kevin (Y2KevSE) or Jane as they own the maxima.org site/name. Furthermore, I think it would be a nice idea if you could sell these THROUGH maxima.org rather than direct. I'm sure people wouldn't mind changing the price from $18 to something like $23-25 so that the site can be support through the sales of this item.

Good idea tho! I'm sure this will generate quite a few sales either way.

As long as its not the current Maxima lettering, you should be fine. The 4th gen writing should be alright. I think thats how it goes.

Yea, i Think it should just be Maxima, no offense to the .org its great, but i would want something directed more towards my car than a website. But let my know whats on it, and depending upon that I'd be in.
