Roush emblem or other custom emblems?

[altjx]

Alton was able to get them off, it's what he currently has on the sides of his car ;) As I recall, he used fishing line to get underneath, but it was a PITA.

If you don't care about the covers, you can just cut them out with a dremel, then use the fishing line to separate the badge from the plastic. Other thought I had was to dremel slots along the top & bottom to make it easier to work the line along the bottom of the badges. Then there wouldn't be a hole in the center & you could just fill in the slots with black silicone caulk.

ugh. I don't know what to do..... i want them to be perfect or not at all.. it's the one exterior bit that's all wrong and I don't want to give in sticking with the 5.0 badges. I want it to look correct.

Yeah it really was a PITA, lol. I ended up using a plastic pry tool and I can't remember if I had tried fishing wire at the time. I just remember bending the living hell out of the badges and telling myself "I'm so screwed" because of it.

I'd give it a shot . Getting rid of those 5.0 badges was an absolute must for me, at least considering all the other Roush stuff I had done.

I've liberated one. This is terrifying.

LOL. Looks better than mine did when it got off of there. That looks perfect.

Freedom!

Now to order another set of coil covers to actually install in the car...

Luckily the coil covers are pretty cheap!

Yeah I'll be getting another set after I finish off the rear bumper/tips with Roush

I just got an update on my ROUSH letters and they're looking beautiful! If the sizes are great, I'm gonna be very happy about them. If you look at the letters and compare them to the ROUSH decklid, it's obvious that the "U" isn't exactly the same, and from pictures it looks like the original letters are maybe a little stretched.

Either way, I wasn't about to go through hundreds (and possibly thousands) of fonts to figure out which one they use. It looks good enough:

Just waiting for them to ship now

Did you give them an image of the original ones to compare to? They're close, but a little off. These for the decklid or under the badges?

Yeah, but they didn't really seem to want to take on that challenge. They just requested the font, the letters, and the dimensions pretty much. There's a ton of fonts though and I went through maybe 100-200 of them to find the one that matched the closest.

Actually, I'd bet you'll never find the font they used. Looks to me like they took one of the standard fonts and then squished it down to make the letters short & wide. Unless you had someone who would make custom letters from some scaleable format (like an .eps file) you'll never get something thats 100% the same.

You don't need the font to recreate the logo unless you're changing the text.

All you need to do is turn the logo into a vector (which is easy and quick) and you can get an exact match.

I've already done just that and was manipulating it in 3D last night. I have an idea...
