Like it or Lose it

Playing around with my vinyl cutter, I made these based on the new Charger emblem.
Personally, I think they look like they belong there plus they seal up the holes from the original emblem and are easier to clean around.

[Old Moparz]

I like it. 

Of course I'd rather have a mint pair of originals, but I think it looks fine & serves a purpose. If you bought every single item you need for your car, or have things refinished, it would cost a fortune.

[1BAD68]

this has nothing to do with it but made it just for fun

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

too modern, sorry... 

[GreenMachine]

        

It is different, but different isn't always better. In 10-20 years that'll just look dated. You can't get any better than the originals.

About a year ago I bought a pair of original two pin sail panel emblems from the Dodge dealer.  I think they listed for about $30 each.  I don't have the PN handy though.  You see them on ebay as NOS.

[twodko]

You are as creative as always but I just can't hang with that. In this instance I'd pop for the original emblems. 

[Dans 68]

Clever, but I'd rather see a bit of a radius (curve) to it, to follow the body shape.  ²

Could you use the machine to create the same thing but instead with the actualy Charger script? That I think would be weay better! 

[Brock Samson]

  sorry - nice job but it reminds me of the sedan and who want s to be reminded of that?..

Good idea, I'll give that a try.

[mikepmcs]

do you like it?  then I like it.  
changing the script could be an option if you have that option.  
bottom line, your car.

[tan top]

clever     , but i would go with the stock Charger name plate 

[1BAD68]

ok here is the original script.
Had to make it slightly bigger to cover the two holes in the roof.
This vinyl is pretty cool, it looks like stainless steel

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Much better. The other one wasnt bad but the older style looks cleaner.   

[Charger-Bodie]

I think you should try it in gloss black like the tailstripe.

[skip68]

I like it.   

[68X426]

too modern, sorry...  

Agreed. Too modern and too Brand X.

The original got it right.

[Drache]

Ok now that new one is MUCH better! 

[Old Moparz]

Agreed, it looks great & in a photo you'd never know it wasn't a real emblem. 

[bakerhillpins]

Much prefer the older script font. More classy and old school.

[John_Kunkel]

Looks OK on "that" paint but wouldn't on traditional.

[76charger]

I like the orginal script better than the never version. Love the brushed aluminum look.

[daveco]

The original style script looks great

[doctor4766]

ok here is the original script.

Looks good.
Any chance you could email me an .eps file of the script?
I'd like to play around with it too. Maybe I'd put a black outline and use chrome vinyl so it looks closer to a 3D badge.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

The chromed original style is great!  I'd buy one to stick on my Honda! 

[johnnycharger]

I like the script as well, but... I like the first one better for you car. I think the new logo on the flat black makes it look mean.  

[R6red4spd69RT]

I think the original script honors your Charger much more.

[HOTROD]

Number 2 please ! 

[472 R/T SE]

One post above this I was thinking zackly the same thing.  I think it would tie in better with the rest of your look. 

[dodgey68]

i think it looks tuff against the mat black,   bold, different,
and when ya sick of every one complaining, ya can remove it,, lol

Cheers dude. That's a very cool site.

[doctor4766]

So I did some today.
I put a 1mm contour around the script and made a black background similar to how a real badge looks.
Then I cut Charger in chrome and overlayed it onto the black.
Turned out ok IMO although the chrome is still wet in the pics and should look better once dried out.

  thats clever 

[1BAD68]

That looks incredible!  

Can you post a picture of it from 5-10 feet away?

[doctor4766]

Can do. WIll have to take a pic tomorrow (Mon) though as my car isn't here at home today.

[MaximRecoil]

I don't like anything on the C-pillar; I think the C-pillar looks much better empty and smooth. Was the original nameplate standard or optional? If standard, was there an option to delete it?

[doctor4766]

So here it is.



Not sure if the positioning is correct but it's temporary anyway.

[440]

I just noticed your car doesn't have the vinyl top trim moldings 

[doctor4766]

Correct.
It only had the inside ones so I deleted them completely during bodywork.
There were so many parts missing, mostly chrome pieces and I spent a fortune, not to mention months, tracking down replacement parts. Seems anything that could be stripped off the car before it was sold was indeed stripped.
Including the whole heater/AC box.

[doctor4766]

Oh yeah, and the Charger badges too. Hence this temporary measure.
Although I do kinda like it without them.

[440]

Well, it was a race car... Anything extra is unneeded weight, luckily you were able to track everything down. How long did your resto take ?  I prefer it without.... However I like the white tail stripe

Chargers cost a fortune, it's killing me....  

[doctor4766]

Bought the car Jan 2006 and it's been on the road around 2 1/2 years now.
And yeah the white stripe is growing on me too.

With the flat black paint job....I sorta like the block letters on there.

[BIGBLCK11]

The block looks cool on the black as others have said, the script looks nice too.  In the end, I prefer the original script emblems.  Thanks for the vector site! 

[BigBlackDodge]

I wonder how a black emblem would look....a ghost emblem.
