cross flag:


stainless ss emblem: you can see which one i mean its on the grill. i dont have any closer ones on the fenders. but i will need 2 more of those too for the fuel rail covers..you quit making those right after i bought them so i had to have brent franker make them for me in a sticker.

I could likely make that cross flag emblem, but it would be a bastard with all the different colors. I'd rather not paint those parts, so I'd use different colored inserts. The time it would take to make that would be long, though. However, it could be done.

As far as the SS emblems go, we're not going to paint those inserts anymore. We will use plastic inserts for efficiency purposes.

Wink

As promised, here are the pictures of the custom door sills I made. I will not be selling them like this because I'll be too busy to apply these emblems to the things, but it can easily be done yourself; you just gotta buy whatever emblems you want to put on yours.

The look of the stainless on stainless gives a lot of subtlety as you can see in certain angles. Sometimes you can't notice the emblems and other times they pop out. It ultimately resembles a stamped doorsill, but with sharp, crisp edges instead of round, dull ones.











When these are installed, the "Trans Am" script reads from the rear of each doorsill.

Can the stainless "Trans Am" script overlays for the doors be applied directly to the door w/o putting them on top of the OEM Trans Am letters?

Yes, they can and I have done them that way with a friend's car in the past.

The sills are the same between Camaro and Firebird models. As I stated, I will not be customizing these for anyone - I simply don't believe I'll have the time with all of the other things I'll need to do. I'm swamped as it is. If you'd like to customize them, just buy whatever emblems you want to put on them and apply them. These can just as easily be made for Camaros and Corvettes.

Just don't want my sills to say Trans Am is all, I can add the Z28 if I must.

These are the same sized as the door emblems.

We do not work with chrome, nor black chrome.

I'll be honest with you... I have absolutely no idea what you are asking me.
