rtbiscuit Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 OK Guys heres the update. spent the afternoon with rob had a really good chat, i dropped my car off with him this morning, and by the time i came back he'd removed all badges neccessary and measured up for the project. TIME FRAME: rob is able to do this but its now in show season and he has a backlog of orders he's working on, it will take him roughly 4 weeks to get a prototype together, it might be sooner depending on how things go, but please remember he is a one man operation and these are not just stickers there is a lot of work preparing the images and getting the sizing exactly perfect (he is a perfectionist). but once the prototype has been given the thumbs up i would expect that the real ones should be ready to go out within the week. you'll also be able to see pictures at that point and be able tot make your own mind up on if you like them or not. PROTOTYPE: once he has a prototype made we are going to need a test vehicle, i am unable to drive back up at that time so i'm looking for some one local to walsall who wouldn't mind going over one afternoon for him to test fit and check dimensions are perfect. don't worry if you were going but say only wanted the rear he only needs to hold the others up against it to check fitting. he has said who ever goes over he would come to an arrangement with that person over price for their badge. PRICE: at the moment he hasn't made anything so price is not definate or even confirmed (this sentence cannot be quoted as the exact price) but he has said that they would probably cost about £20 each. i hope this update is adequate, i know some of your were hoping to see instant results but this will take a little time, but i think the results are going to be worth it. any queries or questions feel free to fire away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 those of you who have refered to black infills on the rear i understand as i mentioned this might be possible. but those who have mnetioned brushed aluminium, i dn o't quite get what your asking for as i had never mentioned it before. are you wanting the whole badge to be done in silver with no colour infill? it might be possible but its worth you clarifying with me and rob what you actually mean.

I was thinking the whole "Tommy K" rear badge in silver . When i said brushed, I meant the same colour as the rear 350Z badge and the door handles. It might not be possible, i dunno. Just think it would look smart on a black zed. Did Rob mention anything about getting around the issue with the front badge/bumper raised locators. Really appreciate all the effort you're putting into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 it might be possible to do the whole badge in silver, but i don't know about a brushed ally effect. i plan to debadge the 350z on the right hand side to balance out the car if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just prefer the 'duller' silver of the door handles to a brighter silver. I'm OK with black if it cannot be done.
