I will forgo my CBE system to have these badges if necessary. That is how much I appreciate custom work like this! Props to the OP's.

Well, she is a Garage queen!

But, add a capacitance sensor (think touch lamp circuit) to the emblem and wire it to the alarm system. One touch of a hand or metal device will trigger the alarm.... simple!!

I certainly am interested in the final product! Would love to set one up with the capacitance circuit too, then post a DIY.

I won't speculate on price. When he is done and adds up his exspences and values his time and effort, he will offer them to us at a price. We will then except the price or not. As with all product, the most exspensive it item the smaller the customer base is. And he already stated that he does want to make a lot of these.

Best of luck AgStacker, your efforts are slowly but surely pushing me towards trying my luck milling a logo out myself

Finally someone sees it my way...

Look guys maybe your right, I'm a ****. Fine. But I didn't come here to sell stuff I came here to make stuff. YOU are the ones who pushed this item to be made for sale. Go back and read the thread, All I wanted was to meet some people who could help me with my geometry.

I've spent countless hours working on this by now, Trying to make it more affordable for YOU guys. If you want to turn on me now because of a couple comments I made, fine I'll pack my sh!t and hit the road.

Last time I checked telling someone 'they can't afford it' isn't the way to go about 'making it more affordable'.

Let it be said, no one is knocking your idea, or craftsmanship. We all expect that these will turn out sick and a lot of people are already getting the fishing line and Goo Gone to start peeling off the plastic pieces as soon as you hammer down a price. I too would love to see the two tone idea come to be.

All we're saying is that we understand You are putting in a lot of time/effort into this, and that your product (although possibly more expensive that some think it should be) will be worth the cost. Whatever you determine that to be.

Personally, as long as Nissan doesn't give you shit for it, rock on with these, and hopefully the more buyers you get, the easier it will be to bring the collective cost down cause as we have seen on here group buys are where vendors actually make their $$$ lol.

My only question I have left is the material... Aluminum right? Or something else? Will they come only in the bare metal, or is there anyway to get them with the 'Black Chrome' look to them? Cause if so, I'd love to see a set of those...
