Its held on with 3M trim tape.

I'm really happy with them. I showed the car Saturday and had even had someone comment on the emblems... Most people just assume they are factory.

Re: Billet dash emblem is on

Well done, I love it! Did you have it made at emblem pros or where? I may do something similar with my car.

I was thinking the same thing, I had Emblem Pros make the 383 rocker and rear bumper badges for my 89, but I didn't think about the dash emblem at the time. That does look really good.

Thanks guys. I'm happy to have the set completed. I bought these off a member here.... FSTFBDY (Chris) I would PM him about getting you a dash emblem, or a whole set. They are exteremly high quality. I can say that I had issues with Chris getting me everything that I had ordered together and in a timely fashion, but I think all those bugs have been worked out of his system.

Re: Billet dash emblem is on

I think I'm going to have Chris make a custom dash emblem for me too. This is a sample of what I asked for but I'm going to see if he can make the font match a little closer to the factory Z28 font, but maybe without the lines in it. What do you think?

*Eventually I'll have him make a whole set for me for the exterior, but the money I have is tied up in a '92 Z03 Z28 restoration

Re: Billet dash emblem is on

Pmed ya on the font.. I'll do some digging for a font. just a FYI the font used is the same one as this.. (the 25thAnniv...)



might look a little diff. because of the letter size.

I like it. I think I would like it more with all capitol lettering, and without the quotation marks. Make sure you pic up a fullset when you get the funds. They honestly looks so much better than a factory set.
