Default Custom emblems????

Anyone know of a place that can make custom emblems for a decent price? Ive found a couple of sites but the prices are unreal. Its like $40-$60 a character. Im looking for some 6.7L & 408ci emblems.

Yeah, I'm also looking for a stainless steel '5.7L' in a decent font. The GTO font doesn't cut it and I definitely want the 'L' in there.

I know someone that makes custom decals, like my chrome/black Z06-style LS1 decals, but not actual badges, sorry.

I ran into this site while looking for custom badges
http://www.motorheadjewelry.com/customtg.html

Haven't dealt with them yet, but it seemed interesting.

If all else fails, Brent could probably make you some vinyls.

I might just PM him in a min. Whats his screen name? Vinyl 408ci decals would be ok for my hood, but for the rear panel I want a polished 6.7L emblem.

Id like a stainless/polished finish. Maybe 1/8in thick, about 1-1.5in tall. Font really doesnt matter. I do like the font that the 6.0L gto's have. Not sure what it is though. Anything kind of roundish font, I dont want it to be square. I would like two of the 6.7L emblems & two of the 408ci emblem. Let me know if you can do anything.

Thanks,
Vann

I'd be looking for something like this:



Any font similar. About 1 1/4 inches tall- stainless steel. The cut could be rough as I could clean it up and polish it up myself.

Thanks

I'd prefer my 5.7L in a Jokerman or Impact font myself.

...maybe wingdings.
