    Thanks!
    I used 3" x 1/8" aluminum strip.. cut out the letters, and shaped them using my Dremel, many bits (I kept wearing them out!) and lots of time! Each letter took approximately 2-3 hours. 1 hour to cut the letters out, and 2ish to shape, sculpt, sand, sand, sand.. and polish.

    I did it in Aluminum because I saw the badge on the back of a Porsche Cayenne and LOVED how classy and stylish it looked.

    Bigger...

    I don't know if anyone makes that type of aluminum in a bigger size. I was thinking of trying some different materials.

    I've already had a couple people ask if they could buy these from me... Honestly, I don't know if I can make anymore. They take so much darned time and effort. They are literally like working on a sculpture project for an art class. If I did make more of these, I'd probably have to sell them for a higher price than the original pillar badges. If I find a material that is easier to work with, I'll let you all know.
    I might be willing to make some more of the "VX" emblems:

    But that's about all I can do right now.
    If I get enough requests for the VehiCross emblem, I might reconsider...

    Does anyone know how much Isuzu would charge for the c pillars badges and for the Isuzu emblem between the fangs on the grill? One I saw had those missing and i'm curious how much it would cost me to replace.

    Check out the OEM catalog at www.isuzuparts.com. I believe the pillar badges are something like $30-40 each. Not sure on the Isuzu front badge, but I imagine you could pull that at a yard somewhere, since I think it's identical to the Rodeo/Amigo.

    Should former Isuzu dealers still be able to get parts like these and perform service?

    Possibly but they will almost certainly charge you more.

    There's still "authorized Isuzu" locations. You can look them up on Isuzu's website. For example, there's only 2 in all of Arizona. Luckily one is only 25 miles from me. It's a former Isuzu car dealership (which sells other brands now). Don't know if ALL the authorized places are former dealerships or not. Many find that since so much time has now passed since Isuzu pulled out, most of these dealership service departments don't have anybody specifically knowledgeable about the VX any more. Some find a private mechanic is better, more willing to try.

    We have a great contact at St. Charles Isuzu in Missouri named Merlin in the parts department. He gives us a discount and free shipping when you mention this forum. He can track down any parts from any Isuzu warehouse in the country so he's you're best bet for any and all parts.

    I think "Mile High VX" just recently bought new badges from Merlin, he can give ya the cost...I think they were closer to $40 each like vt_mav said.

    I can also give thumbs up for St. Charles Isuzu. They have had all the parts I needed in stock at a decent price. I did snag up their last transmission neutral safety switch though.

    As for the grill emblem, why not go with the VX badge instead...
