Default Someone needs to make this

I bought "chromed" emblems to replace the front and rear black emblems on my torch red 04 vert. After considerable time trying to mould it with a heat gun, my bodyshop guy could not get it to fit the front curve on the hood without being up on one side.
Someone needs to make these for front and rear and I will be the first to buy and will pay well.
OK so sho will make these????

Do a search...this has been covered before.

The front bumper cover emblem placement requires a "curved" emblem (go look at your car)..the rear emblem is completely "flat"

The chrome ones you buy are ONLY available in "flat" and I've only seen one seller so far.

@ the OP...start making them and we'll buy em'

yeah I've been trying to figure out where I got them ( 4 yrs ago? ) but I'm coming up short. I don't even remember what I paid, anyway PM me if you are interested and we can figure out what is fair. I will dig them out of the storage later and take some pics to post

Thanks but I'm not really looking to buy one at the moment. Eventually yes but I JUST bought a new OEM emblem like 3 months ago.

I was more wondering who the heck sells the front emblem with the curvature to it.

Thanks again and take care,

Donnie

Found more info. It looks like these are made by Austin Barnett. Does he have a website or how can you get a hold of him?
