Here are my custom 5052 aluminum letters I made for my tail.I took the old lettering and modified it and cut it out with a Dremel and cut-off wheel..much filing ,polishing and double sided tape cutting,here they are.

I like it...it looks original because I have seen others put turbo or something on the tails but not many if anyone do DSM. Good job.
 
That looks pretty cool.....Not something you see everyday, now you are gunna get twice as many "whats a dsm" questions haha
 
Haha,I've had a few friends ask what it stood for since I put em on,maybe a good way to educate people who wouldn't have known .. and don't care anyway,haha.

I'm going to send a template to another DSM'r that works at a machine shop so he can make some but he just had a kid before Christmas so it may take awhile.I used to work at a machine shop and could've done many more sets but with a Dremel and files,its just not worth it for ME to make more.I'll post up an email to get in touch with him when he gets them going.

Thank you for the comments:D
 
One of the reasons I stretched them out a bit was to give it a similar look to the original lettering that was on the tail and to also cover up the "eclipse" that was burned into the center piece by the UV in Florida.

Once I get a template digitized I'll send it to anyone that wants it,just give me credit for the design.:thumb:
 
I'm liking it, although it's something I'd never do to mine. Props, however.
 
A+ for originality man, you should think of some more templates you could make and sell them. I bet crews would love to get metal tags on the back of their cars, not only DSM's either.
 
I would definetly want that, also if you have anymore kool ideas of what you might have that guy make that would be kool too.
 
Very nice touch, and very original as well. i bet a machine shop with a CNC could whip you up a bunch of those for a decent price if you order a large quantity. once it's programmed, that would be easy to get a bunch cut out of a single sheet of billet

either way, i like it!:thumb: :thumb:
 
envy...:thumb: :dsm:

amazing job dude =)

i bet your going to be the only DSM in flodia with that. =)


Makes me wish i had a 2g=./

Those are sweet!!:thumb: Too bad theres no room for something like that on my 1g talon.:sosad:
 
Thank you very much for the comments everyone.

I used to work at a shop with 2 3 axis CNC's and could've even clear powder coated them but alas...the owner was a dick so I quit.Something to consider as far as getting more made though.

I thing the 4G eclipse letters look pretty good too but they end up being very large.Heres a pic of that I saw before I started these.

Now I just gotta figure some out for the 1G,and get my center tail on the 2G lit up:cool: .
 
hey i was just going to say that i work at a machine shop with 20+ CNC machines that are capable of making these letters... if you would like some maybe we could make a deal on pricing or something.... email me at [email protected] or [email protected] and let me know... you can also check out the work we do at tiecc.net... we make all our own stuff... making these letters however is dependent on how much demand there is for them because its just not worth it to tear down a job and set this up for just like 2 people... if there are enough people that are willing to buy some i will make them, and you cna have them say whatevr you want, its all the same to me
 
I prefer the painted center but that is very original . Looks good.
 
How about painted and with DSM sign? ...

I found that website DECALZONE where you can make your own lettering. Just wondering if its worth it, what do you guys think? How high should those letters be?
 
I have no desire to mass produce these,I'd actually like to be the only one with them but I'm willing to make a template for those who wish to make them themselves.

I really like the painted center tail on 2G's as well but not on a spyder...the 3rd brakelight in the trunk lid makes it look wierd.Check out the pic below.
