Custom emblems?

Does anyone know a site or place where I can get custom after market emblems? or any ideas how to fix an old one to customize it?

I got mine there. They're polished stainless and replace the RS badges, just send him an e-mail and describe what you want.

There's also a member on the site that makes billet aluminum badges that are pretty bad*** I forget his screen name at the moment...

Re: Custom emblems?

Now I remember, board member FSTFBDY makes them from billet aluminum - even the nose emblem. From what I've seen on the forums, his work is top-notch. Emblem Pros will cost you less, and their work is great, but FSTFBDY will make you a better looking piece. Had I known FSTFBDY made them beforehand, he would have had my business before I bought the 383 badges from Emblem Pros.

Re: Custom emblems?

an alternative is to take your emblems to a local graphics shop. i had two sets of emblems made that i placed over my original. they were chrome overblack and still looks good for ove 7 years

The only downside is that his emblems run like $220 if you want a full set + nose if I recall correctly. That's a big price difference. They are nice, though.
