Carbon Fiber Bowtie - Feeler Thread!

EDIT: These are for sale on our website! http://buyhids.com/emblems.html

Before getting these into action, I wanted to see if there would be any interest. These are FULL carbon fiber and not overlays or vinyl. They are made from brand new OEM badges. They will be on sale for 79.99 + 3.99 Shipping. We will have them for the front or rear.

Would you be interested in a core exchange for my front badge? Or even me send my badge in and have you use my badge for me?

yeah i don't see you producing these and keeping them on hand honestly. i think it would be more of an order and then wait for it to be made type deal. or like wicked said. have them send you their badge.

although. they look damn sexy.

Kinda pricy...The carbon fiber rear tire hugger on my Duc was ~$300, so I know the stuff isn't cheap. No doubt someone will buy it somewhere along the line.

Turn around time is 1-2 days usually. Alot faster then most companys that stock actually items and jsut have to ship it

For anyone seriously interested, Please PM me for details.

I really like it, but I just can't allot $80 for it. I'd do $35-$40 tops, but I don't know your cost to make these.

That looks really good man. Although, it'd be hard to swallow paying $82 for a bowtie. I bet if you did a discount for buying several things at the same time these would sell better.


Just saying. and hoping haha

Considering our cost to make these is more than double what you said you paid, I'd say you got a good deal....

It cost more then 25$ for a new emblem from GM and we get wholesale. You did get a good deal. I highly doubt they are the same Thanks for your interest by posting in my thread!
