how come no one uses the 374 CI like in the old days, I think it would look good on the front fascia like the 69

Because "219 CI" just doesnt sound impressive.

So I got my new badge in the mail today. Here are a few shots. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, but I'm not sure where I want to place it. What do ya think, hood, fender or rear? I'm leaning towards the fender or the rear...

The cowl or the rear end I think. Old school cowl placement looks best I think.

One thing I like about the rear is how the red L sorta matches the taillight.

That is SO AWESOME!!!!!!!

What was the final cost per unit shipped? I think I may have them do a couple for me.

What is the material used? Do you think it will last the lifetime of the car? Also, is the "direct injected" painted or laser etched?

mirror stainless front plate
laser etched text
Acrylic gloss black backer.
Red mirror "3"

$49.99 plus shipping. Shipping for two, costs the same as for one.

Yep

It looks like a very high-quality piece. I would think it would last as long as the car does.

Looks great! To tell you the truth I think it would look really good on the engine cover.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I decided to put it on the driver's side fender. Debating whether to get another one for the passenger side

Tx1Lt · 07-04-2011, 12:45 AM

Dude that looks great. I'm getting one for sure!

Definitely get one for the other side.

Probably a good idea. Should I get a matching one, or I was thinking of doing the opposite (T in red instead of first L):
