REAL Custom Emblems.....MY New Mod

[ant7701]

Just got these back last week and took some pics to show them off. And they cost less than some people charge for spray paint... Check em out

[Turn10]

Those are really cool.

[ngng]

those are real cf? the weave looks off

[ant7701]

yeah I wish......not a sticker and not real c/f. As a matter of fact I dont know what it is. The company that did the work does all the OEM wood and granite stuff for auto manufactures....like audi's wood grain and stuff. Quality is top notch and i believe its a vacuum resin wrap of somekind. not sure thou. but yeah.....basically the same quality and kind of covering like the wood trim in your car that came from audi.

i think the rings are lower on the left side so it sits kinda crooked...?

X2 maybe just an optical illusion but looks slanty...

But +1 on the originality!! looks really nice!

[akasch]

oh shit thats hot! may I ask what company did them for you?

[ant7701]

lol....i measured and taped them off within a mm of each other before the install.....maybe its the camera angle??? i'll check again and if anything i'll just take them off and re-apply.....double sided tape

[lrae]

those look nice

i have the same color dope sticker in the same angle but on the opposite side of the rear window, lol

[ZachPDX]

I like. Something different than the usual blacked out look.

Yeah its just the angle.. i measured using photo shop... your ok

Ant,
Sorry, they look kinda cool up close, but from a distance, I prefer the stock rings and emblem. Maybe I'm just old-school. Plus, I can't stand faux carbon-fiber...kinda cheapo. You've still got my favorite car on this forum though.

[Mello]

Those came out nice!

[iconoclast]

i think its CF over-kill...

[Stormin]

Thumbs up for originality...

They are definitely a really neat change from the standard blackout badges.

[V8S4Fun]

I think it looks great aginst the white, not sure it would really work with another color though, nice job!

[covertS4driver]

Looks good with the white!

[bklein8888]

nice work...lookin good!

[RAudi Driver]

Ant, you're really getting your car dialed in. It's one mod after another. Good Work! I'll bet you're having a lot of fun.

[Bigswede]

WOW!

[VZWalex]

[colonelburke]

[channad]

Sprint blue...it would look great on sprint blue

Nice job OP! Wish it was real carbon. U almost made me wanna put my badges back on! LOL!

[egyptfolyf]

looks good, where can i order a set

[MultiAudis]

looks good, where can i order a set

x2

[ant7701]

you can't order a set....lol....I had to sent out my rings and S4 badges to this company that I know of that works with a local shop. Takes about 2 months or a bit less to get them back and when they return you have to throw on some good 3m double sided tape....trim the excess and install. I bought a seperate set of badges and had those sent out so I wouldnt get stuck without mine. Thanks for all the compliments guys....means alot. Plus the hundreds or dollars on painted emblems is just stupid so I went another route....and to be different. On my acura I had the same thing done except they weren't done in carbon fiber....it was black marble finish.

if someone wants to do this to theirs and is willing to go thru what I had to go thru.....then pm me and i'll give you the contact info. Front and rear rings and the S4 badge cost me $125 to get the c/f treatment. And I ended up picked up a set of rings used from a member here a while ago. The S4 badge itself was tricky.....I bought a new one from the dealer and used a small pick the remove the red sticker. I saved the red sticker on the wax paper that it comes on in my room for 2 months til the badges came back and when the returned....i just re-installed the red sticker carefully with a pair of tweezers. So just letting you guys know this is 100$ custom work and not something were you can just order a set and throw them on.

[ModernImagePhil]

looks just like avery carbon fiber vinyl to me with a clear coat.

[S-Fore]

like the car, but as a CF junkie, not a fan at all. Bit cheesy. Shoudl've just went Matte Silver (Diff & Hott!) or "Titanium". My .02

[Quattro]

very different, I likey

[Rodknock]

Wow that looks horrible! They would look better if you sprayed them black.. That weave doesnt go with anything and it looks kinda blue..

[ichibunz]

Looks nice...but I liked your car before..it was perfect! How's the Ch's? thinking of getting one soon..your tires are 245/35 right? Did you adjust your ride height?

[PenguiN]

Looks very nice, hope it stands up to the heat and sun. What wheels are those?

[AvantNoir]

[cellg8]

I think they look cool... So is it supposed to be a secret about 'this company'?

[ant7701]

thanks again to all the compliments......

for those that dont like....its not your car.

wheels are BBS CH

and no its not supposed to be a secret about the company....i said I got them done thru a local bodyshop that works with a company on the outside. Its one of the companies that does all the OEM stuff for different manufactures. If I gave you the body shop you wouldnt know what to do so that why I said if someone is serious about gettin some made...pm me and i'll talk to the owner and let him know your gonna be contacting him.

I dont know the actual company that does the work.....just have a hook-up with the local shop thats all.

and blue???? How do they look blue???? Maybe its because the pics were taken at dusk....i dunno but there black and dark grey. And the weave is off???? Seriously???? Its NOT real carbon fiber. the emblems were dipped in a solution that when electrically charged the dip adheres to them creating a carbon fiber look. its a large professional process to get this finish. its not a sticker. its not a wrap and its not real c/f. the finish is just like as if it was painted on....then cleared coated and polished.

[ant7701]

Looks nice...but I liked your car before..it was perfect! How's the Ch's? thinking of getting one soon..your tires are 245/35 right? Did you adjust your ride height?

thanks.....ch's are great and holding up perfect. Tires are 245s and holding up well. I stiffened up my PSS9s a bit and just being careful. it will still rub on large dips or if I have more than one person in the car and hit some large bumps....but for now on my driving scheme (work and back and friends and stuff) it hasn't been a big issue yet. I might end up doing a fender roll in the future if it gets to the point were it rubs more often....but at that time I might just end up gettin new front tires too....we'll see.

Ant

thanks for all the info, im still interested but not sure how soon I want to take care of it,

[Rodknock]

It sounds like you went through a lot of trouble and you still ended up with carbon look..
