ok well heres the long story short
i told him what i wanted and sent him a decent emblem for sizing etc. then i also sent him a high res pic as well...he ended up putting 15 hours of designing into the emblem and made a program up to run the emblem in the cnc machine...BUT of course he did a big project and burned out the bearings on his CNC machine and isnt going to be able to buy another one till the end of next year
so now im workin on either getting my money back or getting the program from him and having a local machine shop run the emblem for me...but then i still have to put a slight bend in the emblem to fit it on the nose properly
im waiting on a response email and ill let you guys know as soon as i decide on what to do

If your able to send me the file I can take a look at it and see about doing a GP of say 5sets if you can get commited buyers.
Ive done Z28 emblems already. key chains and working on gauge rings now.
You can see pic's of em here

Re: Billet badges (GTA)
i believe the nose badge is being made for me right now...i should get it soon. i wanted the emblem pocketed but the guy making them told me that it was better for overall detail, look, and ease of operation to have them made via engraving so we'll just have to see how they turn out
