"One off" Graphite badge

My buddy in A.Z. surprised me today with an email of the badge he made me!
100% Graphite....which will get impregnated with a glassy carbon(not done yet)!
It is hard to take a pic to show the actual colour but is really 'STUNNING' in sunlight!
We are also looking at doing a thin polished trim around it,and when I say thin,I am talking razor thin and around each letter(one piece),LOL!
What do you guys think?





That is not my deck-lid,but one we bought just to make the badge!

Stacy,
Not sure what the benefit of a graphite badge is, or what impregnating it with glassy carbon means, but it's certainly a nice gift. What color will the finished product be? Gosh, I sound stupid, don't I. Would he be willing to make you a "SuperCharged" badge in the same font? I think that would be VERY cool.

PS Thanks for your voicemails, I'll ping you tomorrow AM. Hoping to see a couple other 6'ers (Brando and ATL-Porsche) to see eachothers' mods/ take notes.

The benefit is to have just a different look!
Again,the colours do not emanate in the pic but in sunlight are amazing.
This mod would only be for someone who wants every detail of their car to be somewhat different!
I guess I may be different!
Besides I paid good money for a car with a plastic badge,which I do not like!
The stock badge has no depth in it's appearance,this will!


Stacy

PS looking forward to your call.

Ahhhh, my apologies, my friend. I didn't get it. So the final color will be graphite- that'll look great. Any thoughts to doing it gold like your wheels, or making a "SuperCharged" badge?
