Re: Billet emblems are on!!!
Emblems look sweet on your car, goes real good with black paint! If ya dont mind me asking what back spacing and offset does your ROH drift R's have and what size tire are you running front and rear. I have been searching all over looking to get a set for my black TA but cant find any info?

Re: Billet emblems are on!!!
Mmm, Droool. Looks awesome on the car man.
How much does the rear stick out.? It was pretty good on this bumper I used to mock up. Only stuck out a little bit. If you want one that is thiner I can shave one I have done and exchange with you. No hassle on my end.
I deff. want some better Pic's.
For anyone who wants closer Pic's

They sure look great, i just cant fork out that much $ for emblems that i dont really need right now. Too many other things on the list.
By far the best looking set of aftermarket emblems in my opinion.

Re: Billet emblems are on!!!
Thanks again for all the compliments!!! I love these emblems, they really complete the black and polished theme I have been doing.
I agree with some about how the black background might look on a different color car... but if they could be painted body color, they would look ultra sick on any car!!!!
Chris - The rear bumper emblem is a little on the thick side, and for future customers I would recommend shaving it down so it is a little closer to level with the bumper. I imagine its probably just the thickness of the tape that pushes it out farther than planned. I will get with you if it really bugs me.
Thanks again Chris - Great product!!

Re: Billet emblems are on!!!
just wondering from those who have these emblems, how often you need to wipe them and or repolish being so low to the ground and getting dirty all the time.

Re: Billet emblems are on!!!
yes, I still make them. as for re-polishing. I dont recall if I clear coated the OPs or not.
a few sets Ive done the color/polished and then a complete clear coat. So no need to re-polish, etc..
I have a RS ones on my white vert. I'll have to get a pic. looks good imo.

Re: Billet emblems are on!!!
Can you hook me up with some info/price on a nose piece and rear. Maybe z 28. It is satin black, so if I could be colored and cleared gun metal grey, that would be sweet

Re: Billet emblems are on!!!
Chris you did an awesome job on my RS/SS emblem. I've actually had people walk up and ask me how many RS/SS thirdgens they made. My response...only one! I realize GM never made one but I've put my car together to be like a factory prototype. I think the emblem really flows well with the rest of the car. Oh and Chris remember the state fair camaro and firebird show I told you about? Well I got "best in class"!!! It was the first award of any kind I had received for my camaro and I feel as though the custom emblem helped out alot. Thank you so much. I highly reccommend anybody looking for top notch custom billet stuff to talk to Chris. If anybody is interested heres the link to my photos.

Re: Billet emblems are on!!!
pm sent. I should know in the next week if this nose emblem is a direct fit. ONLY 1 nose emblem was every done and no jasons car. and it was HAND v's out of the back to fit perfect.
I'll keep ya posted o this one done all in the machine. Problem is the plastic noses all sag diff. and causes fitment issues unless hand fit. (atleast on the few noses Ive tries so far)

Re: Billet emblems are on!!!
FWIW, the problem I see with most nose emblems that are made is that they don't take into account for the curvature of the bumper itself. There is about a 7.5* angle on either side of the nose that totals out to 15* (degrees) of angle necessary for proper adhesion. I had to custom make a nose emblem because from what I have seen, anything other than the stock plastic emblem just does not fit properly.

Re: Billet emblems are on!!!
Palsh,
That's why I didn't offer a buck back on the 1st batch of emblems. I hand fit jasons for his car. The one pictured is cnc doneabout to work all kinds out so the nose can be 100% cnc made. 2nd problem is everybodys nose is alittle diff. (Sagging, paint mill thickness, etc.) A stock plastic emblem has a lot of leway for fitment.
Look for blackcam88 on here. His turned out great.
