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

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.  :2thumbs:

I think the original script honors your Charger much more.

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

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

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.

Cheers dude. That's a very cool site.

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.

That looks incredible!  :o

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

doctor4766

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.

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

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.

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.

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.


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

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!

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