After all the advice I decided to go loco.....local. Peter was very helpfull although would not go heavier than 2 x 6oz on deck and 6oz on bottom, although he did add a 4oz deck patch for my heavy feet.
Will post some pics when I take pick it up.

i know on a shorty with the old fcs plugs(the round ones) that if you could not see the plugs on the deck that were not installed properly?

on my hp longboard i have them,but that is a super thin tail and rails...on big yellow not a thing(thickness)

I'm not sure when i look at the pic again

On the odd occasion I see Sheely boards around my area, and they're usually ridded well by good riders.

Good riders don't buy crap boards.

That's going to go well

I think sometimes the base of the plug can be seen on the deck (as the foam is a bit thinner there) and the stickers might be hiding this.

Just aesthetics maybe..

I just picked it up and he has some little Sheely stickers over the plugs. He said I can pull them off if I like, but like Surfbroker said, its just for aethetics. My Mark Rabadge boad is the same with no stickers and you can see the plug through the deck. I dont mind as its a good ref point for my back foot as we would never put a tail pad on a longboard

Great looking board ...yeah I agree they look ridiculous on a longboard. I prefer not to use them on shorties either these days.
