Hello everyone! Recently I've managed to finish makeing badges I wanted to have from a long time. Those are Z28 badges, but made in style of that cool Z06 emblems. Since producing of the one badge was really expensive (matrix and designing costs) I've mass produced it :D
So, if you're interested check it out. Soon, there will be more photos from people who got it.

Oh, and one more thing: it may look like an advertisment (well, it's like some sort of it :roll: ), but I know some people were waiting for it to be made (like me and in the end had to do myself, because nobody was selling it). Hope board authorities don't mind it.

Have you got any better pictures of the badges side-on? I can't decide whether to have the raised 28 or the depressed black 28.

What is the difference between the clear coat and the galvanised clear coat?

Yes, I want a set, just need to be sure I pick the right ones!

Hope this will give you idea of how it look like:

Raised letters: [1] [2] [3]
Black letters: [1] [2]
Galvanized: [1] [2]

Galvanised is some sort of chrome finish, it's really shiny reflects everything (hard to take a picture of it with a camera's flash lamp). Looks good when somebody already has some chrome accents on his car.

Oh, about the delivery time: I wrote 3-5 days, yes usually it takes that amount of time to deliver package to European addresses, but if you live in a United States outpost (like a military base or something) and have US address it may take even up to 14 days (as it will travel to US and back) :(

OK, I've punched through my order for a set of 3 galvanised badges to the UK. Hope to see them soon!

I do a few shows here in the UK so if they're good, you could get a few more orders.

The link is also on LS1Tech, so expect a few orders from there as well.

Greg, I received them today, so thanks! I guess the mail doesn't go to the US first, after all! ;) I recommend that you guys finish the edges a little better, as they look a little unfinished if you ask me. I know this would be more time consuming, but in the long run, it would be worth it, for overall customer satisfaction and recommendations by people who've already purchased them.

Mine aren't too bad, Jack but I haven't had a good look. Got mine today too. I ordered the galvanised ones. Some minor pitting and the red paint ain't great but then the price was reasonable so I'm not complaining too much - especially as there's no import duty or VAT to pay like there would be on American orders.

Respect to the guy for making his own. I look at it this way - if I tried making a set, they wouldn't even be close.

Please don't misinterpret what I'm saying here. I'm honestly quite happy with the product, but I'm trying to give a little constructive criticism by saying that there is a little room for improvement. Hell, I already put 2 on the car, and will probably put the 3rd on tomorrow, when I'm in the garage. I'm definitely happy that I ordered them.

Thanks for the good opinions and constructive criticism. The edges supposed to be slighlty curved, but maybe it had been better to leave them straight, I don't know.

Oh, there's no problem with returning the product if you aren't happy with it.

No need to change anything. I'm just anal. :)
