Chevy | GMC 1988–1998 Billet Custom Message Pillar Emblems – Rivet Style

Product Description - Sold as a Pair

Combine personalized engraving with rugged industrial detail using our Custom Message Pillar Emblems – Rivet Style. Choose your own wording, billet finish, and rivet material to create a pair designed specifically for your OBS build.

Each emblem is CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum and precision laser-engraved for crisp detail and long-term durability. Aluminum or Brass rivets add a mechanical accent, while Raw and Polished finish choices let you control the final character of the pair.

After your order is placed, the OBS Billet team will contact you to confirm the requested wording and provide a digital layout for approval before production.

Installation

Clean and fully dry the mounting surface before installation. Confirm the selected finish, rivets, and approved artwork, then test-position both emblems before exposing the adhesive. Apply firm, even pressure across the billet base and allow the adhesive time to set before exposing the truck to water or harsh conditions.
