Custom badges
If you ever wanted some special emblems or badges for your wheel center caps or other places on your car I have found a place in England that has what you need. I wanted some Lotus emblems for the wheel center caps on my new Revolution wheels but couldn't find any that were the correct size. Found this place on E-bay and found that I could design my own badge in a size I specified with a huge selection of colors, emblems, and even custom text for a very reasonable price. Nine custom wheel emblems, 55mm in diameter only ran a little over $60. l only needed 4, but went ahead and ordered extras in case I lose one or it gets damaged. [www.heko.co.uk]
Could do a custom one off horn button or such just as easily and you can upload your own image if you want, takes a couple of days for them to post it, but we could have had wheel caps or a horn button with the Roadmaster logo if we wanted.

Re: Custom badges
Received the badges today and got them installed. Made of a flexible resin that's about 3/32" thick with an adhesive back, they're peel and stick. I did notice that because they are thin that they will show some irregularites in the surface they are applied to. On the first center cap I hadn't completely removed the old adhesive and some of those small bumps showed in the finished emblem. The other three came out great. They are very similar to the original Revolution center emblems although the Revolution emblems were made on a thicker backing materail of thin aluminum sheet but the surface of the emblem is the same density.

Re: Custom badges
You know, I never noticed it before, but what is the "ABCC" in the Lotus emblem for?
