Gts Badge Interest Revived

[Freddy Kruger]

Cheers Freddy, thanks mate.

Jetspeed didnt create that sikaflex mess did they???!!

dunno. the previous owner put a gtr badge on the boot aswell. that came off fine but there was a ton of sikaflex holding the front badge on the mesh of the grille :S

[Nightcrawler]

I would love a

GT

T

style one - can anyone even do a digital one (like the style of FunkyMonkeys earlier) .... I will print one out and see how it looks on the back of the GTT.

[big_d]

hmm.. yea i'd be interested in one GTS badge.

let me know how things go tho

cheers,

Yeah, so much talk from so many people who simply couldnt produce.

Left alot of us high and dry.

If they really couldnt do it why step up.

oh well,

[Chris_R33GTSt]

Yeah what happened??? I have a S2 33GTS and the gts25t badge on the back is falling off. I know heaps of ppl who would be keen for these.

Was the initial idea to get a metal badge made up or just a sticker? I reckon a metal badge would rock, but it would be heaps east to get a sticker made up.

[sik14]

i can get it laser cut in stainless or whatever metal? just need good simple designs.

i could get the black shadow backing plate and a polished G T and S or red S ect?

it would be alot of time phucking around but i could get it done. how much are people expecting to pay for these things?

[Nightcrawler]

I would expect say $30 tops .... if you did a run of 30 badges of each, I am sure you would sell them .... I want a GTT badge, not a GTS one (for an R34)

[Ronin33]

obviously there are alot of people who want these things,

Is there ANYBODY out there that can actually make these things instead of just gobbing off??

We all want them, so who can do it?

Who wants to make a bit of money?

Sik14, 30 bucks is a fair price, i guess, is this something you can do?

Look forward to it

We need to be realistic when we think about how much these GTS or GTT badges should cost. Just Jap have genuine Nissan GTR badges for $95 and they are a mass produced product.

We would be looking at a limited production run of say 50 to 100 units which would mean that a price in the $100 to $150 would be required to just cover the costs involved.

This is if you want a product that is of the same quality as the factory unit and not a cheap dodgy brothers job. If I am going to put a GTS badge on my car it would have to be of the same standard as my GTR badge.

[Al]

Why are we trying to make them when there are so many cheap versions out there. For me this is not a priority, so i cnbf looking, but will be interested in buying, if someone (keener than myself) finds a decent one for a fair price.

$100-$150 is rediculous

PS: Nissan also want $2500+ for a geniune R33 GTR fmic, will you also pay that price?

[R3LOAD]

Exactly Al. The price would have to be around $30-$50 MAX.

[Nightcrawler]

there are cheap GTR and Silvia badges around for $20-$30 that are every bit as good as the real thing (I have had them on my S15 for years) .... and that price includes shipping from goodness knows where, profit for the manufacturer, selling costs, then profit for the end seller .... in real terms they must cost well under $10 to make. I realise we are talking about different volumes here, but seriously no-one is going to pay over $100 for one of these!

[br3tt]

If anyone can organise a GTS badge that looks like this one then count me in.

If you can make them look like this I'm definately keen.

Not really a fan of the ones around at the moment, the S looks too crap.

[MsG_ChRiS]

i'll take two (GTS ones) if you can get them made ...

PM me if you work it out!!!

i'll look for one of my autosalon mags ... the one with the wide body white gts in it ... he had custom gts badges ... maybe the person who did his bady work would know where to get these from?

[Nightcrawler]

I would like one like this (but looking more professional than this pos paintshop I mocked up)

You manipulated my artwork you terd...haha!!

[seriesII]

ive been looking for a gts badge for along time, if any one can do this im in for 2 of these for sure!!

[Nightcrawler]

You manipulated my artwork you terd...haha!!

yes, yes I did .... would you care to fix it up so the bottom T is 3D, and it doesn't look as dodgy as I have done? If this thing doesn't get off the ground I will just get some nice vinyl stickers made up with chrome edging and stick them on .... saves the car getting badged down the track too!

[Ronin33]

Hey Man, heres what i came up with playing around with your design,

No offence, and all credit to your work, Sik14 was looking for a design, maybe you can send him this?

What do you think?

I want one in red and one in black!!!

Great job!!!
