    Z31/S130 Badge progress thread

    Hey everyone! I've gotten a few messages concerning the custom badges that I've been working on for quite a while....well, I just finished the master molds for my refined design, and here is the base, awaiting coloring:


    Some features of this particular badge:
    UV resistant plastic
    Gunmetal border
    Refined border angles

    Due to the extra color in the base, the price for this badge is increased to $60. The black base will still be available for $50.

    Also on the way, weighted shift knobs:

    Stay posted for more details....

    Wow, seeing it in a hand, that thing is way bigger than it looked in other pictures, that or you have a tiny hand.
    Prius… because Pretentious wouldn't fit across the back of the car…

    Cheap, Fast, Reliable - pick any two

    It has the same (approximate) diameter as the stock Z31 badge - for this one, 80 mm (3.1 in).

    Nice! These will fit on the front-bumper cover (though some vary), correct?
    " I spend another hour trying to rip the bolt out of the subframe, pausing every five minutes to scream and contemplate how I get myself into these situations. Two cars over, a guy urinates. I watch the steam waft off of the fresh puddle in the gravel. It merges with the blowing snow and is cut by the aerodynamic wedge of a nearby Fiero. Beautiful. Another pry and the carrier finally falls to earth. I walk out of there $80 lighter, which makes me more mad." - Brian Kolar

    It has the same thread pitch as the stock shifter. It also fits the Isis 240sx throw shifter, as well as any other car with the same thread pitch (mostly Mazdas, Mitsubishis and Nissans).

    The badge will be inlaid with gold, silver and pearl white color.

    Yep, it will fit in the same place as the stock round badge on the front.
