Where do you live???? If it is $51 to ship three emblems from Michigan to Iowa I think I would have to pass. I would definately need to see some pictures of them!!!!! I dont mind pitching in a little extra to help for doing it but we'll have to see what they look like. I am looking for something that is very close to stock looking, but with 4.1.jdpolzin said:
Not 51 bucks to ship, 33 each PLUS shipping comes to almost 50 bucks.
After buying the padded envelope, the insurance, the shipping, the total per shipment was around 12 bucks.
If you guys can get 100 badges sold, it can be done. Ill mock one up tonight and take a picture.
You guys still getting these made ?

KOOL IDEA, BUT THE FONT FOR THE LETTERS AND NUMBERS JUST DOES NOT RESEMBLE THE ORIGINAL 3.8 SFI TURBO. THAT IS THE MAIN REASON WHY THOSE DID NOT TAKE OFF LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE. THEY HAVE TO MATCH THE ORIGINAL FONT. WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE MAKE A 4.1 SFI TURBO OR 4.5 SFI TURBO EMBLEM. THE LETTERS AND NUMBERS ARE JUST TOO SKINNY. THEY REALLY LOOK NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINAL. IM SURE IF THEY WERE DONE CORRECTLY THEY WOULD SELL LIKE HOT CAKES....!
The " sfi turbo " is a digital copy of the original font. The 4.5 is a little diffrent but i think it looks great. I was at the track today and got a ton of compliments. I even sold a set to a guy that was going to turbo a lightning. He is going to swap the 4 and 5 around.
If you didnt like it, you should have pmed me instead of sticking me with the 3 sets you ordered : http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/stage-ii-tech/122925-4-5-badge-list.html?highlight=badges
Like i have said, i will ship a badge to anyone for FREE. If you dont like it send it back, if you do, you can pm me.

IM GLAD YOU TOOK THE TIME MAKE A NEW PRODUCT, BUT THE NUMBERS LOOK NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINAL. THE LETTERS ARE PRETTY CLOSE. IF THEY WERE SO POPULAR YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH ANYTHING, YOU WOULD HAVE SOLD THEM ALL. OBVIOUSLY I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FELT THAT WAY.
THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED AND THE FACT IS THEY JUST LOOK LIKE A CHEAP REPRODUCTION. THE BADGES ARE SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE WILL BE LOOKING AT AND EVERYONE WILL COMMENT ON. IM SURE THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT WILL NEVER NOTICE, BUT SOME OF US WITH A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION TO DETAIL WILL PASS ON THEM BECAUSE THEY JUST DONT LOOK LIKE THE ORIGINAL.
IF YOU HAD REPRODUCED THEM AS YOU STATED I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM BUYING 5 OR 6 OF THEM. BUT THE FACT IS THEY JUST DONT LOOK LIKE THE ORIGINALS. KIRBAN REPRODUCES THE 3.8 SFI TURBO AND IT IS AN EXACT MATCH TO THE OEM STYLE. YOURS SIMPLY ARE NOT. NO OFFENSE TO YOU BUT IF YOUR GOING TO OFFER A PRODUCT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE THE ORIGINAL WITH JUST DIFFERENT NUMBER CONFIGURATIONS YOU SHOULD OFFER JUST THAT AND NOT BE UPSET WHEN PEOPLE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN A PRODUCT THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU STATED IT WOULD BE.
YOU EMAILED ME AND TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO BE AN EXACT MATCH TO THE ORIGINAL EXCEPT WITH 4.5 VS. 3.8. THAT SIMPLY WAS NOT THE CASE.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A TEMPLATE FROM WHOMEVER WAS MAKING THEM AND POST A PIC FOR EVERYONE TO SEE BEFORE MISLEADING PEOPLE AS TO WHAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY GOING TO LOOK LIKE!
POST A PIC OF THEM AND ASK THE MEMBERS IF THEY THINK IT LOOKS LIKE THE ORIGINAL? TAKE A POLL AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE THINK....
