Option 2 (found on Rauge Thomas's)

Which one do you think is best?

[Raque Thomas]

I like option number one - especially the font, kind of goes with the VX. The VXR I had on my VX was small, to fit the plaque are in the grille; however, the R is taller than the mounting area. I had to put 2 layers of emblem adhesive tape on the back to get it higher than the surround. It looked fine and you couldn't tell that it was sticking up - but it is veisibly larger (taller)than the mounting area. I assume you would mount option number 1 on the back door - right? Right now, I have a very large Vauxhall badge there. It is their winged lion holding a flag with a "V" in it, surrounded by a thin chrome circle. Looks pretty good, but I like those letters - may have to check it out.

[JHarris1385]

Yeah I really liked both mainly 1. But I like yours as well and did notice the mounting and the R being longer.

I work by 2nd st. bridge and live just 10 minutes away from it, in more of the country side of clark county. We should have a meet of some sort. I know one other guy thats on here that lives with in 10 miles as well.

Any more opinions?

How about fabbing something out of aluminum? It's relatively soft and with some filing and polishing you could get it to work. Another alternative is to put something non-VX on there - like "Tonka" or something similar - in my mind you can put anything you want (well, I wouldn't put a Ferrari logo on there or some other auto manufacturer, but you get my meaning).

Buy a piece of titanium and make your own? Somewhere I have an actual image that autox-racer used when he made it. I modified the design slightly (mine is a custom one-off) but I'm pretty sure I still have both files if you want an exact replica. It's just a flat piece of titanium cut into a "VX".

id say try to make your own VX badge or put something else completely there... i ordered a custom emblem from www.youremblem.com so now my grille says CROSS

imho the VX-R think is kind of cheesy/ricey...

[JHarris1385]

Good ideas. Im mad that I didnt think of that myself (cutting my own). Etlsport thanks for the link, its awesome.

But it was all too late. (22 minutes to be exact). I just bidded on and won the first all RED VXR.... Oh well i will find a use for it.

I think Im going put in an order for a custom. Thanks.

[cyronman]

how big exactly is that "vx" and how much did it end up costing you?

let me know if you don't like it.

Each letter is an inch tall by a little less than 2 inches wide. Ill let you know once they come in. It was a great britain seller so Im sure it will be a couple weeks.

[IndianaVX]

think i would try to cut the "r" off of there. jmo

looks like an acura vehicross TYPE R

[JHarris1385]

Each letter is seperate. Or so they said.

[Chopper]

Since so many said their "VX" fell off at some point, and auto racer said no more, when mine came, I traced them onto aluminum stock before I mounted them. I don't expect them to become detached here in sunny Fla, but if they do... I'm ready.

Chopper, I lost mine and I am in Ormond.
