Anyone know where I can get real carbon fiber ssei badges? I like the "red i" but would like the other letters to be in carbon fiber.

maybe Nholds http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=102, our vendor for decals and such could make you a custom overlay for what your looking for?

When it's custom, and not regular production, it IS expensive. The answer to your question is no. Nobody makes them for Bonnevilles.

A sheet big enough for most bonnevilles wouldn't be horribly priced.

Puttin CF badges on a heavy fwd sedan though..

Well, it would be just for appearance, not really for "speed". On my Evo, i've replaced alot of pieces that were originally like abs molded plastic with carbon fiber, both for looks and weight gain. Besides, a CF badge on either side, wud like nice on my silver bonni.

A little off subject but my Step Brother has an EVO VIII My God that car is super fast and sounds so freaking cool with the turbo spooling.

Oh yeah. Im working on it, and trying to apply some of the things ive done to it, to the Bonni. It'll never be as fast or handle as well the Evo, but I know I can get some good performance out of it.

You'd be surprised how much 'handling' is hiding in there ready to be woken up. :wink:

Good luck with your badges. Overlays worked great for me.

We can put a carbon fiber film on these and clear coat them and you would think they are real carbon fiber,look at my gallery for
pictures of the coating and know we can do almost any part up to 3 meters long and one meter wide.
Check us out on the web...

Prime finish folder in my gallery...

I have one spare ssei emblem that we will do next week and post the picture of it.

You got some really nice work there scott&di. Sounds like you can probably make exactly what I want. obviously I'm looking for real carbon fiber on the SSE and i can stay red, but as long as it looks just like it, I would be happy with that. let me know once youve posted pics of the one you have, i'm curious to see how it turns out.
