Custom Emblems...what should they say?
I have the ability to make my own emblems for the fenders, but I don't know what to make them say. I am going to make them rectangular like the Saleen ones, and paint them to match my wheel color.
ANY IDEAS???

"Kenne Bell
Supercharged"
I think a small warning is a nice touch

Create emblem out of oven-bake clay
Once perfecr, bake the clay to harden it
Touch up hardened clay if needed
Apply liquid latex over the hardened clay many times to make a mold
Remove clay from mold
Mix up plastic resin like what is used in fiberglass repair
Pour resin into mold, allow to cure
Pull plastic emblem from mold and sand the back to make it flat
Sand surface of the emblem to prepare for paint
Paint emblem
I did this once for MUSTANG letters to go on the hood....was not a huge hit on the forum though. Either way, I am able to make emblems now.
