Does anyone know what I'm talking about here?

It's very well done, I just need to see it on the car.
i agree. anything to soften it up a bit even if it's not beveled.

Once I get this one in the mail, my plan is to shine it up, put clear topcoat on it and put it on my MS kit. Ill have pics on the car soon, i think people will really like the look once its on the car..ive seen the japanese version of this emblem on a rx-8 and it looks good. Ill check the curve on it too for you guys who were wondering. Well see, ill keep everyone updated.

we clear coat all of our stuff before it ships. Makes it shine a bit more. Some of you non-believers might need some proof that our stuff shows really well, keep your panties on:

it would be to everyone's advantage to get a group purchase going, which would be 26 people @ 2 each, that would make an order over 50 units then we could reduce the price to $65/set instead of $75 [prices include shipping]

Hmm... also very interested. I like the mock up that shakeyourbrakes did, but I think a high polish would look better on my Ti Gray.

As i mentiond, with us, each person would get a tracking number.

the price breakdown looks like this: [shipping, $15 to all US]
10-50 for $35 each
51-100 for $30 each

individual orders, $49 shipped each [as you can see, you'll want to get in on a Group purchase]
