this one's pretty cool too:


but it's for a jetta

 

Wow, good job cherryBox!

Hm, am I arrogant enough to put my name on my car, lol?

 

why thank you

for what it's worth, I've found an 'X' and an 'M', which leaves the missing letters: KQWZ (don't think the M would flip well to make a 'W')

 

Here's one I did for another guy on here.


Here's mine

 

people do it all the time with license plates!

that's pretty cool! I don't care for the Z they use, tho...

That actually looks awesome!

 

Those are some of the best looking custom letters for cars for those people who just MUST have
something special. There are a few other sources on-line, too, each with slightly different looking
letters...

you know, jenna, if you go with that one from youremblem.com, could i recommend a slightly different approach to mounting than they describe?

Putting the letters on one by one would be difficult for even a trained hand, imo.

If it were me, I would wash the target area with dish soap to remove any wax. Then, I would arrange the letters on the card surface they are shipped on, until they are straight, and evenly spaced. then I would make a straight line on the car as they describe, but rather than putting the letters on one by one, I would use a piece of painter's tape to pick them all up the way they are organized on the card, and lay them on the car with the painter's tape.

another, slightly trickier option, although one that would allow a greater margin of error would be to spray the target surface with a mixture of water and dish soap, one drop soap per pint (basically tinter's spray). the mounting process would be the same, although one would use a much longer piece of painter's tape, so that the tape can contact the drier sides of the target mounting surface. the soap-spray would allow the letters to move around on the mounting surface until perfect positioning is achieved, and then a heat gun is used to dry the water out.

I used a variation of the spray/heat technique to mount my OEM spoiler without drilling the hatch.

 

I've always thought of getting a Porsche "Boxster" emblem.

I'm sure it's been done...?

 

Tomas, is that the small or large "Lextasy" badge on the back and does it come with double sided tape? Could you estimate if direct swap with xA rear badge would fit please?

 

well, I thought about that too, just cutting off the 'ster'

 

Its the Lextasy Trunk Logo (whichever size that is) and it comes with precut trim tape attached.
It is considerably smaller than the Scion emblems...

I may go out and hold my Scion emblem up next to it tomorrow and take a pic if I remember.
(Car is filthy right now, though - just got back from trip.)

I have a boxster lisence plate frame, but I colormatched it so you can only see the relief of the word up close... sort of an inside joke I suppose.

 

Thanks for the advice, cherrybox. I'm still undecided on that though. Think I might just buy "BOX" and put that on the back hatch where my Scion logo was, lol. That'd be funny!
