Was considering ordering a custom badge for my car through this mob

http://youremblem.com/youremblem.com/catalog/index.php

found it in one of d-packs posts on the D.O.G. forum

Anyway, im considering getting "SIGMA" for the left hand side of my car and "GSR" for the right hand side.. thought it might be cool to have people think its a later generation sigma that wasnt released in oz :P

any thoughts?

its either that, or im sourcing some Diamante badges

ROFL HAHAHAHHAA

Diamante stick with that...
Sigma is a bit *old school* and the first thing people think when they see the badge will be ...sh*tbox

I was thinking of finding myself a JDM Mitsubishi Legnum badge to put on the magna after the kit and all... hmmm :confused:

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it stand for Japanese Designed & Manufactured ?

I like HKS - Hong Kong Sports (I think).

I'll correct you :D

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market

HKS = Hasegawa, Kitagawa, Sigma (the guys that started the company)

no idea, i used the same method as everyone else, but once the badges were off, there was indents in the paint in the exact shape of the badges about a half a millimeter thick

Far out :cry:
I guess we'll have to be super careful removing the badges.

Doubt it would cost more than $150 to get it fixed up though?

Sounds like someone painted around the badges instead of putting them on afterwards...

Just tried to place an order on V3000 Super Saloon badge from Phil Gilbert Mitsubishi, Parramatta road.
They contacted Adelaide via fax and thye replied "N.Z Export V3000 KS part no. ANN30339 obsolete.

So the only way i can source one is by calling mitsubishi in NZ to see if i can get one sent to me.
If not, it looks like i'll have to go to a custom badge maker :doubt:

Just a quick thread hi-jack (and to get the V3000 discussion out of this thread) - for those interested in the V3000 (and maybe SuperSaloon) badges - I'm going to order some from NZ - Details and pictures may be found here...
