Replacement badges

I was thinking about this for a long time and filially I did some designing and cut them from a mirror like vinyl. I wanted them silver but the shop didn't have any silver vinyl in stock.
Anyway I just wanted to see how are they gonna look on the car:









I made one more design for replacing the flying M badge, RE looking:



I'm not sure yet which one I like more.
Next step is to find a place to make them more OEM like.
Or do it myself.

the front looks good, but I think you should leave the back debadged.

Looks good on the front. TOS = triangle overload syndrome, sometimes it gets a bit too much though.

front looks fine, but for the back it looks like a sticker, which looks tacky. if you could get it made into a badge it would look better.

I'm working on the 3D design now. 2D is easy. First 3D project for me. Still learning.
At the same time researching some possibilities for fabricating them.

At risk of sounding retarded, that rear license plate bracket cover thing is pretty spiff.

Where do I get one?

Search for Corvette Phantom License Frames. Mine is for 97-04 vette and needed some dremel work to fit nice.

Well, I prefer them silver.
And I've made some.



Waiting them to dry and gonna put some clear.
They are even curved.
That was my very first design.

I like the Rotary 8 emblem on the front and back! Way cool!! Your car looks awesome! So how much dremmeling involved in getting the license plate frame to fit properly? Where on the frame did you have to dremmel?

I had to cut the bottom where the plate is inserted. I lost the mounting holes, but the base is flat all the way now. The frame and the plate are mounted with double sided tape to the bumper. No any rattle.

Love the Renesis. Prefer the Rotary "8" badges to the rotary ones.

I like the Renesis Bad too more than anything else. The renesis badge and anything else seems to busy on the back.

I would go with no badges at all, but damn holes needs to be covered with something.

Can I be the first to place an order?

If so, Id pay good money for the 8 symbol as well as the renesis badge, but could I possibly get them in black, or even better, gunmetal?
