on his defense, he said there was a problem with his manufacturer because of the holidays.. anyway though, around 30 each i think check back in the posts

 

So the emblems are in and mounted. Im going to admit after this whole thread I was skeptical about these, and didnt plan on putting them on. Once I had them in hand, I saw that they actually do look good and definitely not cheap....they look custom made. They molded right to the bumper curve and went on with 3M..Check them out and let me know feedback. I havnt shined them up all the way yet, they will get pretty shiny with a little work.

 

That's pretty cool.

 

it looks better with everything shaved on the back..just took off my rx8 emblem. anyone want some too? give me some feedback

 

not really digging it in practice.

 

I like them, gonna get a set of my own design

 

I like the change I think its cool, not too sure about the backs... Dick hook it up with a set.

 

Man, I'm torn....I don't know if I like it enough to do it. I think it is too perfectly round or something...just doesn't quite fit. I can't decide for sure if I don't like the look though.

Got any pics without the rx8 emblem?

 

 

Dave, really glad you gave us a chance here. Honestly-pictures do no justice for these emblems. They are highly reflective when the light hits them.

 

So...how much to get a one off design made?

 

not sure about the one on the front... like the look on the rear though. 30 a piece?

 

I like the idea, but for me, a flat piece of metal does not an emblem make.

A little 3D-ness applied yields a better result IMHO -- and there are places on the web that create custom emblems ... some that even glow at night in different colors

 

where are these places that your talking about...and do they cost under 200 dollars each? Ive been looking hard and emailing a lot of companies during the past two months. Websites would be helpfull

 

www.emblemart.com

Don't know them, but they did appear in a google search -- whatever that's worth.

 

this is the site of the guy that made the ones on here

http://www.thirdshiftstudios.com/car-emblems.html

 

emblem art is $95 for the first emblem, $30 for the second emblem plus $15 for shipping and handling

 

EmblemArt has some nice stuff!

 

Just spoke to Marc @ emblem art-he's a very nice guy! He said his stuff is a step above mine in that it is chrome-plated plastic. His turn arounds are very lengthy though as he has to outsource the chroming to another company and has to wait until he has a large amount to send them before he can have them chromed. He can cut out one-offs, its jsut that the chroming company won't fire up the machines for one at a time, he has to send them a batch of 50 or so.

He said in the past they've done CNC metal work, but no longer offer it for ROI reasons.

 

I would like it better in 3D with much more detail.

 

Newb! 2 year thread bump FTW!

 

theres been a lot of those lately

 

I would like that emblem.

Did it ever get made in that 3d version?

 

wow altspace your really cool!
