Stainless Sailpanel Emblems

I commissioned these to be made for the sail panels. They're as close as I think I'm gonna get to a thirdgen bird, but I dunno. These were custom, I sent him an exact copy of the logo to use.





I had them made to match my hood grills.


Truth be told, I'm not sure if I'm happy with them or not. Quality is nice but they arent really exactly what I wanted. What do you guys think?

Re: Stainless Sailpanel Emblems

I think I know what you mean about them not being exactly what you wanted. It doesn't have the breaks in it like a normal emblem would. If that is the problem you have with them (which I don't see any other), what if you tape off some lines and fill them in black paint. It would give the look of being separate pieces, or you could try to have someone else make them for you.

I wouldn't give up on 'em just yet, they look cool

I'd say don't bother with them unless you are 100% satisfied. Also, those are fourth-gen birds. Get some real third-gen birds!

Stainless is the way to go, no question about that.

Noah, I sent the guy who made these a picture of the thirdgen logo, and this is what I got back.

They do look cool, but I dunno..
