The replication of the stock chrome and red emblem by Sparks is great (it is billet right?).

Edit

Looking at the Berger pics I wonder if those would be too big if done in a non-black color

Can we get the dimensions on the grill and rear SS emblems from Sparks?

They look good but I'm going to keep waiting for competition to drive these down. It's over $250 for a set, that's a little ridiculous. I'm sure more people will get approval soon and bring these down.

You're correct. They're machined from solid billet aluminum (no plastic involved).

The Heritage Grille emblem is 5" x 1" and the trunk emblem is 6" x 1 1/4". They're perfectly proportioned in width and height to the original. If we made them real tall, they'd have to equally as wide which wouldn't look right and isn't what was approved.

All 3 pics are of my car and its sparks front emblem...

1st one is with my phone (Droid) after install the 2nd and 3rd are with a High End HD camara that Terry used but they are all of the same car on the same day we just turn the car arround for lighting.

Hope that helps

like this one from the Sparks site:


and this one which is 2 sections high approx. 2 to 2 1/4 inches high, clearly twice as tall?



This appears to be a bigger back emblem, bent and on the front?

Yeah but the last pic I photoshopped. I made the emblem bigger.

Thanks

For reference the stock SS front emblem is 3.75" x .75" (tip to tip). Same with the stock one for the back.

On the heritage grill the horizontal bars are .75" (center to center) and the vertical bars are 4.25".

Was a specific size "approved"? Seems like if you had all dimensions and surfacing programmed into the CAM it wouldn't be too much trouble to make them abit bigger.

Wow, really like your XM antenna. Can't wait to see it on the car.
