    Jim...love the look of that badge. Here is what I had done, and it didn't cost no stinkin' $50.00 for one badge.



    plus I had a smaller all chrome decal made to fit exactly under the 1/2 moon cladding...I'll see which one I like better, i may changeto the smaller one later.

    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.
