Custom Jewelry

[BigJon34]

Anyone have some websites or phone numbers for custom car jewelry for my car. Once its complete I want to shave off the stock jewelry and change it to custom jewelry. Any help or comments will be appreciated

[Grouch]

Well, since 30 people have looked at this and no one has answered....I'll ask the question....

What the heck is car jewelry? :huh:

[ptrudel]

:huh?: my thoughts exactly grouch :blink:

[Cyber Knight]

Maybe the chrome emblems? :huh?:

[duesergirl]

That's what I figured, since he was talking about shaving it off, but I'm not sure either. I've never heard it called that. A search on google didn't turn up anything either. :unsure:

[dadirtybulldog]

hes' talking about the chrome colored "olds logos"... ....... tell us what you're trying to do, then maybe i can come up with something for you

[Nikatrel]

Dis guy be from da hood yo. ;)

But to shave off the emblems on the back, do a search on the site, its there. Its basically using a hair dryer and dental floss...

The front one can't be simply shaved... its indented into the bumper.. so you could pop off the silver piece, but theres still gonna be an indentation.

haha :lol: .... .... honestly, i don't really see the point in removing the emblems, the only one i removed was the "oldsmobile" on the back, i still want people to know it's an alero, and i for sure don't want it to look like a honda....

[Sportalero]

From the way it sounds, it's like he's gonna get his car "platinum-ized" encrusted with rubies or something. He's definitely gonna have to explain this one.

[jonez]

If he is planning something crazy like that it better be garage kept, or they won't be on there for long.

[BigJon34]

In lowrider culture jewelry refers to the emblems. From the hood, yes. Dis guy? No. I'm capable of speaking correctly. I want to shave off the main emblem and replace it with a wine glass and the oldsmobile i'll change to my car's name. I'm not revealing that until it's complete.

[jackal2000]

i dont understand, your gonna have a wine glass as ur hood ornament? :unsure:

[dadirtybulldog]

i don't understand... a wine glass???... if you want help in solving problems you must give up more info ;) ... and honestly, i'm pretty sure you won't have anybody on this site copy your idea of the wine glass thing, so don't you worry about that :thumbsup:

[Sportalero]

If i ever had the very, very weird notion to place a wine glass emblem on a car, it would be on a car like a Bentley or a Jaguar. Ya know, at least something with class. Putting a wine glass on an Alero...........................that's more like admitting you drink your wine out of a box. If you really wanna go with a "wine" motif, skip the glass and just super glue a "wine cooler" bottle to your hood. It would make more sense. :D

lolol still laughing.....

[Steve03TropicTeal]

man.. y'all rough.

props to d00d for trying to do smething different.

[Sportalero]

I wasn't trying to diss his idea. It's just the idea..............................it just would have been a crime NOT to say anything. But BigJon, it's your car, man. It's just weird to me cuz i'm from the hood too, and never heard of that one. Must not be a South then.

Maybe that's the point, sport. And good looking out, Steve.

Pretty much its like this. My car's name is "Red Red Wine". It's got House of Kolor Kandy Magenta sprayed on her body (no kit yet). Just got it painted. Next is 17in. Arelli Assassyns, and I'm paying my buddy to learn airbrush to get a mural of my girlfriend done on the hood. He's a great artist of many different mediums and his airbrush is almost near perfect. Pin stripes will complete the project. I ride low and slow, and this is my first euro. The oldsmobile emblem on the bottom right part of the trunk will read "RedRedWine" as soon as I find a place to do it. And I still want the wineglass as an emblem. I do not think I'll look like an alcoholic. Most people with knowledge of the song will appreciate the sentimental tone of the car. Its a metaphor for how working on my car helps me forget about the problems in life. Women, work, all that poop. I stopped coming to the forum for a minute because I didn't think I could get any help from folks who think I'm an idiot. And since all I do is read your forum at work all day, I might as well just explain and hope someone can help. Just for clarification this is all going to be done on the trunk of the car. Not the front. The wine glass is not a hood ornament. It's just an emblem image. Not an actual glass.

I found this place online

Says ball park would be 350 for one. I'll probably spend more around 900 on it to be honest. The sizes I'll need may cost more. Six to eight weeks sounds great. I could also do it myself and get it chrome dipped. But what material is easy to work and carve but wont burn or melt if dipped. I heard of a place that has perfected dipping plastic in chrome. Doing it myself may be a better option. Suggestions that dont include pointing a finger while laughing will be great.

[ptrudel]

man...u'll have to show us pics of the color of the car and of the mural when it's done...sounds like it's gonna look sweet...as for the emblems, i couldn't tell u what to do, cuz i've never looked into it

[alero168]

yeah sounds like an awesome project. dont worry about the others they read something they dont understand so they twist it and it makes other laugh and join in with them. and good thing youre painting that pic of your g/f, just in case it doesnt work out you can just paint over her ;) , definitely post pics when youre done.

I stand guilty of it. I didn't understand your post. But to come to the rescue of those who took your post and "twisted it", we all asked you to come back on here and explain this to us (at least I did in my first post). No one started cracking wise until after you became a no-show. And since you never came back, you sorta left it out there for us to poke fun. What you're doing sounds cool now. But what made you wait so long to come back and explain it to us?

[Youngblood77]

And for the record, I never really gave it a thought as-to how the wine-glass woulda looked, I just got a HUGE kick outta the "wine-box" comment. Please post some pics, the paint sounds like it'll be pretty cool when it's done. Remember 1 thing: if it's an origional idea, there's ALWAYS gonna be some who doesn't like it. The only thing that matters is if YOU like it. The bottom line is, it's YOUR car bro.

[Hobbes]

nevermind, I originally an alermod bashing post here, but after being here fow a week or so, y'all are pretty cool!

I had to edit it!

[BigJon34]

Well what's that place, brah? 900 is a grip, I know, but I'm willing to pay for my vision. I dont think I'm going to shave off oldsmobile, because I do want people to know its an olds. I think on the trunk the glass in replace of the olds emblem and the name in replace of alero will be perfect. And just looking at that, I should e able to get away with 6 or 7 hundred. But post a link or phone number to the spot you're talking about. Even if they dont have a web site, I'm willing to do this over the phone and through fax.
