i guess it would be kinda cool to have it replace the one on the car, you could pretty much use the existing two holes too .

Is it just me or does the bottom look really thin. IMO I would think thicker would be more......masculine? LOL. just j/king. :p :D
Really though that could be a point at which the material could be weaker than the rest.

It's just a design im sure that the mold made for forging would account for stuff like that, i wonder if it could be made so that the pegs in the back could be inserted into a channel type mechanism so that people could place the emblem either like the last picture or askew like in my orignal post.

It might look nice if the detail in the yellow circle could be incorporated in the final release...

if I only had time I could make these in Silver or Gold...well Platinum too but I don't think anyone wants to loan me the cash for raw Platinum materials...unless you guys want to start donating your wives' wedding rings :p

Yeah the gold looks sweet on black. I'd be in the market for a couple of these if they were available in gold. :D

It's not a chop. What I've got is a $500.00 dealer add-on. I bought it that way. Check my sig for more pics. :D

LOL, Yeah my thought exactly. No I didn't pay the $500. I was able to get this as a freebie when I was negotiating the price of the car.

Grey. The black/chaparral would have been sweet.

Looks nice but....
to complete the "look" you should have gold plated your rotary accent(s) and exhaust tips....
Still, it looks pretty cool the way it is

Thanks! Right now I'm looking for someone who can gold plate the strakes and rotary accents at a reasonable price. Problem is the last guy I spoke with here in Orlando says that due to the material of the rotary accents it may be more effective to fabricate from a different material then gold plate them. I think the rotary accents are aluminum correct? I'm not too familiar with plating metals so I'm not sure if this true or not. As far as the exhaust I may go with the gold tips after I upgrade it. Haven't decided yet.

Gold Leaf would work on the accents (fairly inexpensive and a DIY). You'd probably want to hit it with a few coats of clear coat when you're done
