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.

I like it.  :cheers:

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.

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.
If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
Gotta love a '69
