The idea is a modification of an original project of mine that wasn't very practical. This time around, you can easily make a magnetic frame that goes on a side of your car yourself. It looks decent and it is quite practical. The messages for the frame (content) can be quickly generated on a regular printer and regular paper and changing them is super easy. It comes in 2 different sizes – letter and legal.
Applications are many like self advertisement that you can quickly change and modify/remove, memes (awesome for memes!), "For Sale", Political (anti pro something), some tasteful trolling, or a pic of your cat. It could replace a lot of bumper stickers and regular car magnets.

Checkout the instructable that I've done here:

consider upvoting my howto on reddit

At the end of the instructable (step 7) there is a link to a web site that I've made to make the process of generating content a bit easier. Nothing special, an advanced alpha web to print flash interface.

sounds easy to steal though.

Sticking adesives on magnets is useful to avoid ruining the car look with the country code ovals if you rarely go abroad too.

I want the voice-activated LCD display for the rear window - a visual Mr. Microphone.


Oh, and Pimp Stars, I definitely want Pimp Stars.

Honda never used a V4 engine. In fact, I can only think of Saab ever using one.

I got a hard time for that on reddit too. No big deal, I can edit the message and print a new corrected sheet that states "4 cyl" which is the whole point of this :D
