Default Badges ? We don't need no stinking badges... 8-) (Austin Badges)

Guys:

I promised myself years ago I would not get a custom badge like these until I finished my HP upgrades. These are Custom Badges by Austin. Billet Aluminum, and custom painted. They are the same size as stock. I'm going to try to get them on soon.

Those look awesome and would be a nice subtle mod to already killer Z. Be sure to post the pics.

Better have the dyno sheets handy or people are going to bust your stones..
They look really nice. What does a set like that cost?

It's a good thing you waited otherwise you might be changing those badges every 6 weeks

Nice looking badges!

I got that covered... $200 for the pair. This is why I waited till I completed my HP upgrades. I did not want to spend this kinda money multiple times...

I got them on !

These things are polished so well they are like a mirror. It was tough to get a decent picture because I was catching the reflection off everything in my garage...
