Could I get a pic of the set? If so, this sounds like a more than reasonable cost compared to the options available on the market.

We'll probably start working on prototypes pretty soon; I'll be donating my stock emblems for the cause. And just FYI, these items are all produced by us - not overseas - and are hand-finished. We're talking very meticulous attention to detail.

BTW, my friend is also a professional powder coater and he let me know that anodizing would not be a reasonable option for any exterior piece because of a lack of UV resistance. He suggests powder coating as the best option. Plus it'll look better

I won't reveal any other items we're brainstorming on, but we've got a few ideas that should do very well.

As soon as prototypes are produced, there will be plenty of pics. That may be a while, however.

Yes, I'll start up a new thread once we start prototyping items. It may be a few days because I don't have any time this week to work on this. If somebody wants to donate an emblem to us, it can start sooner.

nissan ned · 07-21-2010, 02:03 AM

I want a set!

Holliday · 07-21-2010, 12:53 PM

This idea went to hell in a hand basket

I hope a real manufacture decides to produce some that we wont need to get a loan to purchase emblems

Sibze · 07-21-2010, 01:18 PM

hahaha, "real"

i guess in reality, it doesn't matter if your badges are metal or plastic. i'm pretty sure if you could make the same badge design out of plastic and paint it the standard chrome, black pearl, or w/e else people would be down for it.

AgStackerisms:

Son, you can not afford.
Take a look at that guy who posted above you (KaienZ34), he has two Z's, with aftermarket wheels, he can afford.

If you haven't already spent some serious cash customizing your car, these badges are most likely not for you.

No need to get butt-hurt, just try to be less annoying if you're going to post in this thread.

I didn't say you were poor, obviously you are not if you're drive a 370. I just dont think you understand what I'm producing here.

I have not offered anything for sale, when and IF I do, I will most certainly become a vendor, I have already spoken to AK about this.
