Homemade engine emblems

Finally got around to making my aluminum engine bay emblems that were talked about on the forum a while back with the alumajet printable aluminum sheets. Thanks to bc317 for the idea and for sending me some designs to use. I used some of his as well as making the Ford Racing logo for my CAI and making one for my custom painter and having him sign it. Then I sprayed them with a clearcoat. We will see how they hold up. It was a fun mod and pretty easy to do as well and it looks great. Sorry the pictures stink, it rained all day and I had to take them in my dark garage.
I definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to add a few custom touches to their engine bay.

Very easy process. Order the alumajet sample pack for like $33 dollars. Find a design you want. Print them off. Spray some clear on them. Cut them out and apply. Does not get any easier.

Hey Scott, they look really awesome!!! For everyone who wants to do this, you need a rear feed printer, or a J-feed printer. A front feed printer will not work. I just wish I could find a printer to do this on .

Hey Scott, any chance you can send me the files for those signs. I really like the "powered by ford" and the Ford Racing one. If you need my email address, just let me know.
