custom made fender emblems?

someone on here (it may have been quite awhile, i dont remember) was custom making fender emblems out of aluminum and looked real sharp, but i cant find any posts on it...i'm thinking they were cut out on a CNC machine and everything

any one else remember this or am i just old?

i was thinking about:

SILVERADO
RS/SS


Only in a different font,and more "stock looking" like normal fonts are

Re: custom made fender emblems?

Sounds pretty sweet and I'm sure that could be done. My Scottsdale 20 emblems are all pitted up and needing restoration. It's expensive to have done tho.

Here is one I just found on Goolge search for custom emblems. Pricey, but an option.

Re: custom made fender emblems?

talked to Ken, real nice guy, has access to a ton of CNC type stuff

going to go with this:
SILVERADO
RS/SS


in the place of the regular old silverado emblem...should look good with the phantom grille

got the idea from this post
