Calling this Group Buy off. Everyone seemed really interested until the new thread went up and then everyone decided they were out. USCG_PA put a lot of time into the designs trying to come up with something great and I feel he really delivered. In my eyes his work/time has really been under appreciated and in the end wasted. There is a minimum purchase amount to do this and we were far and away past it, but now we aren't even halfway there. David has offered to give the images and renderings he has come up with so far to anyone who wants them to take to Billet Badges and have them made on their own. Billet Badges has yet to get back to me and in my opinion has taken too long and added to the problems with the group buy as well. All of these problems together have made it not an enjoyable project to work on and not something that I believe will be fruitful for the forum/members. I really enjoy organizing group buys and etc and was doing this one strictly for the forum, I wasn't ordering any badges at all I just like helping out therefore unless I am wrong and there is a surge of people that want back in on the group buy it is officially over.

That's . Just 1 badge for the rear would be enough. Don't have to have all 3 if they are that pricey. USCG_PA, please pm me #9 which is what I preferred in the 1st place. I think this would look good on the back. I'll leave the front fender badges as is. Apoc and USCG_PA: Thank you both for your time and effort.

FWIW, I had Steve at BB cut me some custom badges(polished/2 color) almost 8 years ago. They still look great to this day. I haven't given them any special care. Might seem expensive, but the quality is definitely there.

OK everyone. IF you want files, please PM me your e-mail and what files you want. I will then send you the files you need for production. We have to do it this way as the production files are not recognized on here.

Good to know!

Been wondering where you've been bud. Nice to see you post up.

*Sad face*

The bright side to this is everyone gets to get the custom badge that they want.

At least three of you have reached out so far! Good luck with your orders, and remember, pics or it never happened!

Also, since this is now a one-on-one order process for everyone, you can have what you want, including any of these (or something like them, depending upon what they are able to do...):



Drunken_Unicorn, here is one for you
