Default 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???

I am in the market for some of these as well. You make them yourself? I want to get some that say
"Kenne Bell
Supercharged"

I think a small warning is a nice touch

Yes I can make them myself but not nearly fast enough to make money selling them. Here is the procedure:

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.

That type of info will cost you one set of custom emblems, emblem maker.
Just read the manufacturing process. Thanks buy no thanks. Thought you
had a hot plastic vacuum frame or something like that.
