| I've seen a few websites that let you customize one-off emblems. I can't remember the names of the companies or their sites but I'd like to look into it. I am looking for a company that gives you a choice in font too not just one style like I seen at one place.
Also just curious on whether there is a company out their that can turn your signature into a chrome emblem. |

| A good sign shop can either cut vinyl, plastic, or metals with whatever design you come up with. Metal thickness will vary depending until the equipment the shop has. Most work from Adobe Illustrator files. |

| One of my good friends owns a sign shop. If anyone needs decals let me know. Supply him with a graphic/font, or just describe what you need and he can whip something up. He is an honest guy and wont rape you on cost. He does a lot of vynal work, but can also cut metal and plasic decal.
He will be supplying the graphics for my hood. If anyone is thinkin about some decals cut, drop me a PM. |

| I really like that emblem, but I was wondering if a re-badge is even possible. The dimensions are... 8" x 1 5/8." Is the emblem too tall to fit on our trunk lip with its curved contour?
If anyone bites on this please let us know - I think this script is awesome! |
