Custom fender badges

Anybody know where to get custom fender badges for the engine size that look like the originals?
I have a 496 and I need new badges anyway.

Re: Custom fender badges

Marquez Design makes them but they are pretty expensive. I'm not even sure what this price includes. 1,2,3 numbers? They make some very nice products though.

If you find out what is included in that price then let me know!

Re: Custom fender badges

I recall a board member was making specialized fender badges that looked OEM. Someone here will remember.

Re: Custom fender badges

Thank you for the info on the Marquez badges. They look very nice. This may be an option if I can't find OEM looking badges. $229.00 + freight for a pair.
I will keep hunting for the OEM style. Any help is greatly appreciated. Coming out of paint soon.

Anybody ever try cutting a 400 badge and a 396 badge in half and epoxying back together. Didn't figure I could weld it as it's pot metal?
