Thanks, got my numbers done on vinyl oval stickers already. Just need black coroplast panels and black velcro strips. Also need to find some black plastic to cut a fender. Anyone know a good source for some flexible plastic sheets I can cut to fit my fender? Once I get that, I will be pretty happy with it for some time.

Many times stores will have lids for garbagecans that people didn't want. They will either give them to you or sell for cheap. Perfect for cutting out a fender.

Yeah, I just found a sign shop near me so I can pick up some black coroplast tomorrow after work. Then I just hit up Michael's for some velcro strips and now the last bit is figuring out what the hell to make my fender out of. I could rig something temporary out of old cat litter buckets, but I am looking for something I won't have to paint that is already flat black.

At any rate, I think I will try to assemble it tomorrow or this weekend once I get the side plates cut out. It is starting to come together. Anyone have a black buggy bag they want to get rid of to keep spare kites in the back of this? Dogs keep pissing on my stuff when I leave it on the beach.
