I'd say that's a better idea. It won't take but a wrong look at one person
with that emblem showing.

Inside is safer for you and your body/paint.

You guys have been watching too much of The Shield. I doubt gangs will be a problem.

I like the idea. I'm just not so keen on the BLOOD font. Have you tried something with sharper points to the letters. Maybe something razor like on 1 or 2 of the letters to really get across the dangerous gothic mentality.
Or how about a small drop or two somewhere to simulate blood droplets? Maybe a drop under the D? That would look cool.

i say either put it on the hood cowl or in the interior.. it would look nice, subtle, and custom.

it's just strange on the back..

OK, seeing as how I don't want to get shot or have my car raped by Gangstas, the emblem is going to the interior kinda like a dash plaque. I've changed it quit a bit as you will see. Only one question, how do I get the actual color of my car to show through the cut-out "Blood"?

Looks damn slick. Not sure about how to get color of car through "Blood" though.

How big were you planning on going? Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the "2000 Maple Red Metallic Trans Am" , but that seems a little cumbersome to put on a emblem that may be only 5 inches long.

About 5 inches was what i was thinking, I'm not sure what to put in that part yet, just tossin' around ideas until I get it the way I want it. That'd suck if I had it made and installed it, to later find i didn't like it. It'll be similar to the "Performance Package" on the WS6 emblem I guess.

Hey, you could get the back of the emblem countersunk and behind the blood script put a piece of real thin lexan ( painted the color of your car) that might would work. it's a idea y'know.....

I'm going to keep pusing my idea of adding a blood drop. It's badass and easy to do. You could move the drop left or right, but you get the idea. Here, check these out below.

Still don't know exactly where yet, any ideas? Engine bay is a good idea as well.

Either the engine bay or I still say the rear bumper.
