More bling! Custom MBA head plate Okay, so maybe I've been getting a bit carried away with this car. I contacted MBA and asked them to create me a personalized 35th Anniversary SS head plate, but I wanted something even more difficult and unique.
I had them take a red annodized plate, and reverse-machine the logo into the face. So, they machined away all the bare aluminum you see, and the red letters actually stick out. Opposite of engraving it
Results:
Of course, it cost alot more than the regular $60 plate. Prices will vary, you have to call them on special projects like this.

Re: More bling! Custom MBA head plate Your car is quickly becoming one of a kind.Have you even made your first payment yet?
Looks (spensive)as you would say
I know many machinists at Boeing,i'm going to show them what you had done and see if someone can do something similar for me.
After i installed the FRCs i noticed there is like a bare spot in front of the passengers side head,i've been playing with the idea of fabricating something to fill the void.A badge might work out well.
