Son, you can not afford.

Take a look at that guy who posted above you (KaienZ34), he has two Z's, with aftermarket wheels, he can afford.

If you haven't already spent some serious cash customizing your car, these badges are most likely not for you. They're really expensive to produce, and there's no way around that. If you want a top of the line solution to your burger problem, I am your man. If you're concerned that they will cost too much, you'd probably be happier with the plastic ones.

Lol ok... Are you calling me poor? Just asking....... I may not have spent money on my car (although it is a $50,000 car here) but this doesn't mean I have no money...

But since I don't make enough money for you I will make sure I can't afford your product.

Thanks

I didn't say you were poor, obviously you are not if you're drive a 370. I just dont think you understand what I'm producing here. Theres no way in hell I can compete with the $220/set price tag of the Z store emblems. I would be very pleased if I could produce them for twice that price, but we shall see.

No need to get butt-hurt, just try to be less annoying if you're going to post in this thread.

Have you had any luck downsizing the milling code? Any chances of reducing the mill time to increase production/cut cost? How about "step & repeat" ability, to make more than one at a time?

Just thoughts. My dad is a millwright, old school....

Better yet, how about making the milling code/instructions available to the public so people can cut their own! I am sure I can access a CNC here somewhere!

Still very interested in this and tracking it closely. One point I would like to bring up though, these "burgers" and recessed areas are in the front and rear bumpers. Any of you looking to replace those over the years (say with an Amuse body kit for example) might not want to spend your money on this.

That being said though, I still want to thank everyone who is working on this - some really incredible work and the guys/gals that put these on their cars will have reason to smile everytime someone makes over the badges.

One last comment that I think would really make these cool is to somehow find a way to work in every other Z style that was used over the years in a small, small logo (say in the background or around the circular rim) - having those and the HUGE 370Z logo prominent would lend itself to showing where these new Z's came from. Just my 2 cents on that - sure some will disagree.

i'd put a badge on the front, that's about it edit: i should add i'm not breaking the bank for this badge though. if you're going to charge upwards of $500 for a badge, thank you for your efforts, but i can put that into my pillow or housewiph fund first.

and i wholeheartedly disagree with your opinion keep the badges clean, it's nice to pay homage and stuff but too busy = fail

LOL wtf are you talking about I never posted anything about some store bought stuff...

Trust me though I will not be buying one from you now. You go off on a personal attack when I didn't say sh*t. Not once did I talk about your prudoct baddly nor did I say anything about a price (how would I, you haven't said anything about price)

ps while we are on this topic since you are trying to sell something on this site shouldn't you pay to be a vendor like all the others on this site...
