Default Custom Faux Gas Cap?

Who can do something like this? I'm wanting to get an emblem made that will fit over the emblem already on my faux gas cap. I've tried Cuzzo and Caution but haven't heard anything back...anybody know of any other sources?

Make you own. That's what i did.

Hopefully you get an idea.



I went to staples and bought sticker paper , printed my logo on it, used a caliper the mark the size of the circle, stuck it on the faux gas cap that I had pre painted black.
and then applied about 5 coats of clear, enough to make sure it will be smooth and not feel any grooves around the sticker.

Took me 3 days, but it's TRULLY custom..

I can't remember who did mine, but I do remember that the quality was VERY poor ... I actually had to do some touching up to get it somewhat decent.

I'm still going to look for someone else that can do a better job .. but here's the end result:




EDIT: I found the name of the company -- WebXtremes.com -- their customer service was great, but the final product was very poorly made

Those all look nice, but I was looking for a custom CNC plastic piece that can go over the existing emblem, provided it doesn't stick out too much. I don't know how those look in person, but I definitely don't want anything shinny or with a glossy finish on there. I want something custom, but that looks OEM...trying not to make it stand out. I was thinking about going with this for the rear emblem...I already printed it out on a piece of paper and cut it out to see how it would look lol, I thought it looked really good...



I know there's probably a number of places in So Cal that do this, I'm just having trouble finding one and hoping they won't ream me on the price lol

Just buy a V6 emblem and paint the stripes like you want.

Here's mine;

That's the whole reason I'm doing this though, I don't care for the pony emblem on the V6 cap. Nothing wrong with it, I just don't want anything shinny on there...like this GT500 one, except with my pony emblem...
