Custom Front Bumber emblem

Wanted to do away with the old emblem and get rid of the white and blue stripe and spent a months figuring out what i wanted and what design that would go with my car and my favorite anime and its color while still keeping some of it still the same but with a subtle touch to the regular person but enough for someone who knows these cars to take a look. So far ive loved it

It does if you have the ugly standard one, but the black one with yellow goes real well with the car. Especially the custom plate letters, they match the koni yellows and the vision i have going for the camaro

It does look good on the Camaro because it was kinda made for it and like you said the color is great.. Not the Firebirds. Emblem looks good also btw.

oh yea i can see what you mean by the firebirds since it doesn’t sort of tuck into the shape of that area with it having a more sleaker and pointed front. I definitely wouldnt like the front plate on a firebird

and thank you i spent alot of time on having it made to fit something i wanted for the bigger picture of the theme im setting it up for.

Here is the old badge next to the new one i have on the car

Did you make that yourself? I’m wanting to do a custom badge for my Trans Am and haven’t found a source.

No i did not make that myself but did do my research and went with the company that made this for me. I went with Billet Badges and they were amazing.
Highly recommend if you want a legit and fully customized piece that will definitely add uniqueness to your Trans am. I know there are like one or two members that also make pieces but i needed my badge to have those same dimensions as my original emblem and the only one i felt confident to do that for me was Billet Badges. Michelle and Steve and the team left me truly amazed.

Re: Custom Front Bumber emblem

The anime references don't mean anything to me, and emblems and badges aren't a thing to me either. It looks nicely made, though. But it's the lighting that gets my attention. Vision X halo LED headlights, switchback LED running light/turn signal ducted housings, fog lights tucked in there too. Looks great. Impressive by day, probably even more so at night.

Yes definitely what my goal was with them was to make them subtle references that dont take attention away from the car to the point it looks tacky for the emblems.

And i had to pull the trigger on the Vision X so that other fellow third geners had a good shot of the lights installed along with Seth’s switchback turn signals and Screamin Chicken’s Morimoto fog lights they have w/ the brackets made for the install. Definitely came out well.
the choice between the turn signals was either a clear housing with Diode Dynamic Switchback bulbs that i got from Screamin Chicken and clear housings or go with Seth’s turn signals. Both looked amazing and honestly depended on what you wanted .
