Ok, I already know I'm going hear a lot of flack on this, but the real purpose is to show what a great job this guy did making these for me, and since it's my car and I like then that's all that really matters, BUT I got thick skin so flame away if you feel you have to.
Austin Barnett made these for me in about a week, they are just awesome and I can't believe some cat has the talent to make these and to be able to do it in such a short amount of time.
And the 13 year old paint job still shines pretty dang good

Looks nice
Custom touches that advertise the hard work you've put into your car should never recieve flak. In my mind thats a conversation starter at cruise in's and car shows. I know I would ask what work you have had done seeing that badge.

I think they look great - Austin does excellent work.
Here's what he did for me over the winter (took about two weeks on these as he was pretty backlogged):

Jack those look awesome, Austin is a very talented guy for sure, and the prices he charges are a bargain for what you get, I've had to replace my front emblem in the past due to weathering and wear, you won't have that problem I'm sure.
WOW, those are awesome

I must have caught Austin at a bad time. I emailed him several times for info on making a custom TB plate and no reply. I love the custom Z06 badge but since I have a vert I need to find another place to hang. Throttle body seemed like a good choice. Maybe I will email Austin again.
