These are not laser cut or engraved... these are milled, AFAIK they are the only one that does this. Milling a stock piece of metal is a little more in depth than laser etching.

Lets get this poll out, already! Wif... I mean, the other half of the budget committee, is agreeable to the potential pricing.

Sorry guys, I have been down sic these past few days, just now getting back up and kicking. Let me tally the most popular designs and see what has come out on top.

FYI, looking at the info Apoc shared, it seems like most of these designs may end up having to become rectangles...

Once we have a better idea, I will see exactly what design changes will need to be made.

Have a good night all, I am off to bed. Back to work tomorrow if all goes well.

Looking at finances depending on what we go with I might buy one for just the rear. I can always remove it and pass it on later

So, I tallied the votes as of now. Here is how it stands:

1 - 9
2 - 2
3 - 5
4 - 0
5 - 0
6 - 3
7 - 2
8 - 2
9 - 2
10 - 2

So, the top three were two iterations of the Iron Horse, and the Tank. I have taken these designs and unfortunately had to square them up to meet design specs. I am still not sure if the Billet folks can do these designs. Here is what they will look like, and how big they would be.



The ones with the red border would also be the ones for use on the back of the Ex.

Thoughts?

I would overpay for the tank one. My friends lovingly call my X "The Tank"

PLEASE make that one.

We need to know who's in before we can get final pricing.

I am in for three badges (left, right, rear) of either horse edition.

I would have to decline if the tank makes the final cut. Sorry.

APOC, you might as well warn them that some of us will be calling in with custom orders and expect some sort of discount, since this was brought to our attention on this GREAT forum.

Because we all read from left to right, for me, for the same reason you gave for which badge goes on the left side and the right side (horse is leading...pulling into the wind) it seems more logical for the back badge (the one outlined in red) to be the one with the horse on the left, not the right. Otherwise it seems backwards to me.

N'est-ce pas?
