Custom "Cavalier" Rear Emblem Idea & Front End minus IF Front
Friday, August 01, 2008 11:28 PM
Have had this idea for awhile and been planning to do it. Tonight I finally got around starting it.



NOTE: the emblems are just sitting on there for a mockup. Hence why I have the trunk lid open and they aren't perfectly lined up. Still need to sand them down and repaint them before they get put on for good.

The above and a GM Emblem on the front fenders are my plans for "rebadging" the car.

Also here's a few pics of the front end after I sold the IF Front (I still miss it. )

but if im imagining it right, i dont think i'll like the GM on the fenders. are you talking about the little square ones that come on newer cars?

paint the keyhole black, then just move the letters a little bit closer, so you won't notice the keyhole as much.

That's what I meant, but somehow my typing first thing after I wake up isn't the best lol.

bingo on both.



as for everyone else, thanks for the comments, suggestions. the plan is to paint the keyhole black and put them basically back where i had them in the pic. If I don't care for that, i'll try moving them up and/or down.

I like it, but the lock needs to be filled first, and then the letters spaced out properly and evenly centered.

whats a cavaolier?

gotta do something with the keyhole. otherwise it looks like an "o". and please make sure the letters are lined up straight. doesnt appear as though they are.

IMO shave the keyhole and eliminate what everyone's seeing as an "o" . Would look thousand times better man. Just My opinion...

If you can't paint out the key hole to remove the "o" feeling, you got my vote for moving it under a bit, would still look good. Its a great idea, good job!
