I've never made an official post about it, but here it is.
My wife works for a company that has a manufacturer in China making pins for them. They make pins, keychains, and buttons. I was drooling over my cf-48's in the living room and was all pissed of that the sandblaster ruined my emblems by blasting them (pitted the plastic and scuffed the logo). She told me that she could get them made in metal so I wouldn't have to worry about it. (The catch) She said that she could send the emblem down for them to use for the mold, but it would get destroyed. I thought not a problem since they would be re-born in metal. I thought about it a little and thought, well if they make a mold of my f@*ked up one, then mold would be garbage. She confirmed that.
Here's what I'm asking. I need someone to donate their (mint) emblem (one) to me so that I can send it to press and have them stamp more for us. I am willing to offer a huge discount in the price of these metal emblems to the person who can help me get this thing started.
Is there anyone willing to make that sacrifice? I would even be willing to let you hold all four of mine until we get this done.
This is not a scam, I don't have time to deal with that BS. If you need more credibility out of me, there are guys on the g1teg board that will speak up for me.
Anywayz, the sooner I get the emblem to China, the sooner we'll all have access to high quality replicas. I hope you all are supportive to this cause.

Yeah, mine are plastic too, but they sandblaster told me that he would take them off before the blast. He didn't and they got jacked up. So I need to get a mint one to make this mold correctly.
As for the bigger ones that go on the spoiler, I just need a commitment of 100, and I can get them made. To start, I'm getting 100 of the wheel badges going because those I feel will be easier to get rid of. I'm looking at doing them in two colors: Black background with silver writing and solid silver.

What are the dimesions of those badges?
Honda, because it's hard to look baller in your mom's Volvo.
The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.
