Thanks for the high praise

How long will that stay on after car washes and stuff
Its 3M emblem tape. So its a quality product. I believe most modern cars use tape/adhesive. I could be wrong. It will be lighter than the factory Stingray emblem.

I had a bunch of custom CNC stuff made a few years ago, including side emblems. I designed them to cover the holes left in the fenders from the original "Stingray" emblems. After several weeks of design changes, it came down to these two designs:






I chose to go with the second design, and this is how they turned out after being CNC cut from aluminum, polished, and painted:



And this is what they look like installed on the car:



Your design would also look good on the valve covers, but instead of sticking them on, it would look better if the design was engraved into the valve covers. This is just my opinion, but I've always thought things stuck on the valve covers looked a little "cheesy". I had my valve covers CNC engraved by the same guy that cut my emblems.

Wow! I'm pretty impressed with you guys' artwork and the quality of the emblems! I've been wanting to do something with a Mako Shark emblem for a long time.



Please PM some details with who you're using and cost.

Bloodzone, I really like your Stingray emblem. What are the chances of you setting up a group buy for the emblems from the producer of them. If so, I would definitely be interested.

Just catching up on this thread, all the remarks I could have made from the first version were squashed by later revisions, I really love how it evolved from good to great. Bravo!
And welcome to the club.
