Custom Emblem

I machined a new emblem for 430. Went to the dealership to order some spring hats and asked about the flat emblem they said they had one i looked at it and seen how it goes over the recessed area i thought it would look bad plus they wanted $67 US for it. I decided to look online and found nothing i liked. I machined it out of T6061. I talked to the graphics/web person at my office and he printed out my initals on vinal. I wanted something unique and I like how it looks. The diameter is 1.625 in or 41.28mm.

!!!!! 1-3 are pre paint photos last one is finished let me know what you think. I will post some more when I install and wash car. !!!!!!

I like it. Can you engrave the logo into the aluminum instead of using a sticker?
What else are you able to make?
I'm looking for a place to machine a dead pedal that matches the sport pedals I put in my 210. I'd settle for not having the plastic buttons that stick out if I could get the holes and the basic style to match.

Would you be interested in giving it a shot? I can draw the part and probably make a prototype with my CNC (sorry, I build cabinets, so it is not able to cut metal - the prototype would be made of wood).

I could machine the logo but would have to pay for machine time and would have to find one avalible. I just machined this one on a manual. I actualy dont work in the machine shop im in Quality. I just did some work hear and there when not busy.

About 10.00 for everything including paint. Its not the cost you just have to have the right equipment at your disposal.
