He is quoting me right now, I should know the price on Monday. The bigger order I make the less it will be to machine. As of now I did not make it to have the prongs on the back. Because it is billet, the metal stock would have to be almost two inches thick just for the prongs. Im researching ways to mount these without the prongs but for now, commercial double sided tape is what I'd be using.

I could definitely look into getting these made as well. Only thing is that I would think it would stick off pretty far off the back bumper since its billet. The sticker that comes stock is only an 1/8" thick

Re: Billet z28 Rocker Emblems - Anyone Interested?

I know you have already probably spent a fair amount of time researching and working getting these made, but they are already being made, and can be purchased in complete sets including the dash emblem. The emblems can be customized and modified to say what you would like or just look like a billet 3d version of the OE one (like I have on my car).

Talk to Chris (FSTFBDY) and he can set you up.

I did come across this guy and looks like his threads are years and years old so I didn't think he was still making them? None of the pictures work in the threads you just posted?

He is still making them. He makes them per order, so kinda have to know about them or ask to get them. I just thought the pics were slow to load, I didn't pay attention.

They are top notch one way or another. Might make things easy for you

Re: Billet z28 Rocker Emblems - Anyone Interested?

Can these be made to look more like the 91-92 z28 emblems? The black part in your pic traces the (z28) part of the emblem but the factory emblem doesn't. Can these be copied to match the factory ones?

Re: Billet z28 Rocker Emblems - Anyone Interested?

I know this thread is for a set of billet aluminum logos, however, I made a set of copies for my 91 and I talked about it and took a screenshot of the design (on my build thread) I made in Autocad or whatever program I used. They can be printed on any 3d printer then just spray them silver/chrome and no one would know. I can give the file to whomever wants it, yes for free. I got sooo tired of college/high school kids posting that they can make these and they want like $45 for a set--You usually find out that they're using the 3D printer at their school that our tax dollars paid for. Not saying that's what this is here-just giving options.

Re: Billet z28 Rocker Emblems - Anyone Interested?

Im not seeing any different in the emblem in my photo and the emblem you posted? Can you explain further? Unless you are talking about the ridges that cut in on the very top and bottom between the Z, 2, and 8?

Re: Billet z28 Rocker Emblems - Anyone Interested?

If you cant tell the difference between a spray painted 3D printed piece of plastic vs a piece machined billet aluminum you need your eyes checked!! haha


Im looking for a much much more clean, price final product. Thanks for the advice though

Re: Billet z28 Rocker Emblems - Anyone Interested?

Look at the top between the Z the 2 and the 8 its 2 little triangles at the top and between the 2 and 8 at the bottom another little triangle. On my original there is no such area it goes straight across. Take a better look

Gotcha, that's what I figured you were talking about. Yeah I could change that no problem. I kinda like that look a little bit more actually. Much cleaner and would be easier to cut on the mill. Ill send an updated pic tonight

Nope, not a problem with my eyes, you just need to stop using spray paint and use real professional paints
