OSV and custom Badging - Page 9

well like i said... the ones that aren't domed... i think i am going to just offer in a square shape... or at least with enough around the outside to wrap... and the easiest way to install these would be take out the third brake light... the domed ones i will make as big ass possible but they won't be able to wrap around the curve very far... i'll let you know how they come out...

Midgear · 08-07-2008, 11:05 PM

hmm.. wouldn't wrapping them around the light actually cause creasing? does that make sense to anyone?

its like taking a single square of toilet paper and wrapping it around a rubics cube.. theres going to be excess that needs to be cut off-

dont ask me where I got that example either.. im a random person-

joserivas19 · 08-07-2008, 11:14 PM

difinately random bro. lol. yeah, you'd have to cut it when ur installing it to wrap around the brake light. im sure natedawg has thought of that to minimize excess cutting.

natedawg9640 · 08-07-2008, 11:18 PM

well yes and no... the material stretches... unlike window tint... and therfore you can wrap it a sufficient distance around the curve of the lense to not see light... we wrap vehicles with it after all.

i got an overlay done for my Rex...

i have 2 of the alero overlays done that are just vinyl (same chrome lettering and color vinyl as in the picture above) but they aren't cut to fit so therefor i can't dome them... but they would technically be ready to install for someone not wanting the domed version.

nice-

irondiezl3 · 08-08-2008, 01:18 PM

yea the vinyl doesnt crease its too small of a area it stretches expecially when warmed up its way worth the extra effort rather than having it not completely covered but like someone said on her he probably did already think of that.

natedawg9640 · 08-08-2008, 09:24 PM

well i am excited to announce i have some sized (i think) and printed... now i need to dome them and take pictures and test for fit... but i am slightly inebriated already... so that will have to wait for the morn...

irondiezl3 · 08-08-2008, 11:00 PM

i cant wait to see both domed and un domed

(gold, white gold, or copper) but as of now... it depends on what you guys want...

Unless you come up with something that blows me away as a design for this, I'll take a pass. I have other things in mind for badging that will be custom made.

As for who should get bages that state 1 of ?, The only ones that truly should get those are the people that bought the kit and spoiler package. It's not the OSV without the spoiler.

natedawg9640 · 08-09-2008, 12:27 AM

very true about the spoiler completing the package... you are the one with the list... post it up so it's public knowledge... er... my knowledge. and would you be interested in something similar to the final 500? or something more congruent with the SV badges? eiother way they should include some white gold or something classy and high end? mabye i'll look into CNC routing or water jet cutting or something...

Oldsnut · 08-09-2008, 01:35 AM

If you were to do this, I would think it should be made something like the badge in the door jamb of the final 500's. Below is the list vvv

don't spose anyone has an example of said doorjam?

Oldsnut · 08-09-2008, 10:51 AM

This is not the actual one off of the Final 500 but is a replica.
Where it states LCA 2004 on this example it would read 1 of 500 on the real badge. I was thinking that the OSV emblem in the center would look nice.

natedawg9640 · 08-09-2008, 11:01 AM

i'll see if i can work up something that looks decent. thanks!

joserivas19 · 08-10-2008, 06:01 PM

i got the badges. thanks bro. they look great!!!!!

now, all i have to do is wait for my alero to be done and go get it.

welp here are some pics of the domed third barke light overlays. if you'll notice , there is the domed part and then there is a ring around the outside of it. this ring is the part that i used to wrap around to seal the light from showing around the edges. or one can simply remove the ring of excess material and use a thin strip of electrical tape or something like that. i have 4 black/chrome ones made made so far, 1 silver/chrome, and 1 silver/black. I also have a couple extra that aren't domed. those i just left a little oversized so the excess can be wrapped around the light... or actually it can lay flat across the gasket(you'll see when you take out the third brake light for install.

natedawg9640 · 08-11-2008, 07:48 PM

Any intrest in these? i may be doing them for a couple subie guys...

joserivas19 · 08-11-2008, 09:08 PM

those brake light overlays look great!!! how much are you gonna sell them for?

natedawg9640 · 08-11-2008, 10:30 PM

well to be honest, i gotta figure out how much it'll cost to ship em before i set a final price. they use a lot of doming material and they are a pain in the ass to dome (but i enjoy it so that doesn't bother me) so i will try and figure it out asap.
