Nice cats. I really like the custom badges. I didn't realize it was relatively easy to get things like that custom made. Links?

You might remember Extrude Hone, abrasive flow manufacturing....they shortened their name to ExOne.

Just upload your file and you can select from different material types. The stainless ended up being very heavy, so I thought it wouldn't hold up as well using the oem pin retainer clips.


The aluminum ones were printed by CraftCloud but it has a more rough cast finish: https://craftcloud3d.com/upload

Looks great! Did I say that the early 240Zs were my dream car, back in the day?! Sigh ....
