Custom Car Emblems

I looked for some resources on the web but came up empty. Anyone have any good sites that sell simple chrome letters that then could be adhered to the car?

I know that TAP Plastics has a variety of stick on letters, but I'm not sure they have chrome. Also, I think luggage stores have small letters, for mongrams on briefcases.

JCWhitney has some stainless steel tape. You could cut your own. Here's the link: http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/...&storeId=10101

bv,

Check with a sign shop that does "doming" of chrome vinyl and other chome materials. I think that will be exactly what you are looking for.

Yeah, that would be kinda dumb IMO. I had the badges and side molding removed of of my '84 RX-7 and the kid I sold it to bought the larger, squarer (don't know if that is a word :D ), and non chrome badges of a second gen RX-7 and put on the car. Looked terrible.

My husband and I recently started up a vinyl business. We can cut logos in chrome as long as we can create the logo. What logo/letters do you want? RX-8, MazdaSpeed,...? Just let me know what logo and size and I can quote you a price. I am specifically ordering chrome for a customer next week. If you are also interested, then I can order it sooner.

Any questions...just ask.

How about a simple chrome rotor? 2" diagonal or so with an open circle in the middle? (I'd love to have a rotor instead of the flying M)

BrotherVoodoo, how far apart are the emblem pin holes in the front bumper? Do you remember?

Sorry to dig up an old thread, had a search and this was most appropriate one!

I found a font called Ozda which someone has made and looks exactly like the Mazda font.
I want to get some 3D Chrome lettering done with the word I have in mind once my car is customised.
Moving forward from 2004!!! Has anyone done this in 2013 for custom lettering in 3D Chrome?

It is important I think to maintain the same font as used by Mazda to give it that OEM look for the rear end of my car.
