search blacksmith in LA?
im thinking you're going to have a cut the star off the existing ornament so you can braze or weld on the ornament to your existing base.

what are you planning to do? i wanna see!

Just hit up Bam Margera since he got the custom heartagram done for his Benz at Bentforms. Maybe they will make something and ship since you dont want to try and find a place that can maybe do it when these guys have already worked with the upright star.

you can used cast iron with the lost wax method.... if you know how lol.

basically you make a cast from wax and then make a mold from it and fill the mold with iron.

either that or you can get someone to cnc machine the **** out of a block of aluminum.

as for places to go and don't know lol sorry

This place seems like a recomended place since Bam went to them and he has loads of money so why not hit them up and even ask them if they know any good places in the Cali area they would recommend so its more local for you.

He wasn't saying that the badge had anything to do with the doors. He was making the connection between one tacky mod and another tacky mod, and I agree with him wholeheartedly - that takes tacky to an epic level.

However, it's your car. Good luck and post pics of the results!
