Update:

We managed to remove the badge by masking the surrounding area really well prior to prying it off. Use some care. It comes off in two pieces:




Once it is off, there will be some adhesive that needs to be removed.

We test fit the badges, but will need to make a slight adjustment to the upper portion of the badge:






My buddy did an additional 3D scan to adjust badge sizing:




The adjustments should take a couple of days and then it’s off to production.

He can make one. He has already made a bunch of carbon fiber parts for Porsches and BMW’s.

He should do it - the Porsche one is $3,500, and seems like there is a pretty significant demand. I ordered one from DB without the 3rd brake light . . . but 4 month lead time and $5,500 . .

Tell me about it. That grille cost a lot for what it is. I much prefer it over the slats though. It was worth it!

Definitely looks way better than slats, but how cool would a carbon frame (similar profile to this touring unit) w/ same mesh look? Maybe delete the 3rd brake light as well. I'd buy that . . .

Would you allow your deck lid to be used to scan? Once scanned he can fabricate one from carbon fiber? I suppose that can be the next project after this one is completed.

Hey fellas,

Do you think corrosion would be an issue after having the script polished? If so, would it be more prudent to just leave the entire piece PVD black or clear coat it with a satin clear?
