Your truck. Your message. Machined from solid billet. Our Custom Message Billet Pillar Emblems let you personalize your OBS with wording chosen specifically for your build—whether that's a name, a club reference, a custom theme, or a short original phrase.
Each emblem is CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum with a natural machined finish and precision laser-marked artwork. These emblems are made to order: after checkout, the OBS Billet team will contact you to confirm the wording and provide a digital layout for approval before production. Both emblems are produced using the approved design.

How Custom Ordering Works
- Place your order and choose your mounting option.
- We contact you to collect and confirm the exact wording you want on the emblems.
- Review your digital layout, including spelling, spacing, and overall appearance.
- Approve the final design before production begins. Once approved, the emblems are custom-made for your order.
There is no need to provide your message in a variant selector. OBS Billet will contact you after purchase to confirm the wording. Please watch for our message so the proof can be prepared.
Artwork guidelines: Wording length and layout are limited by the available engraving area. We may adjust text size and spacing for legibility. Protected names, logos, trademarks, or copyrighted artwork require appropriate authorization before reproduction. Please inspect your digital proof carefully before approval.
Finish
Machined 6061-T6 Aluminum: Natural billet aluminum with visible machining character and precision laser-marked graphics. Minor differences in machining appearance and engraving contrast can occur with lighting and production. Uncoated aluminum may develop oxidation or water spots if left unprotected.

- Install Yourself — $60 per pair: Supplied without adhesive, so you can use a suitable automotive-grade mounting method.

What's Included
- Two made-to-order Custom Message billet pillar emblems featuring your approved wording

Installation & Care
Remove any old emblems and adhesive residue, and clean and completely dry the mounting area. Test-position both pieces before applying adhesive. Follow your adhesive manufacturer's instructions for surface preparation, pressure, and curing before washing your vehicle.
Clean with mild automotive soap, water, and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, and aggressive rubbing or polishing over the custom laser-marked graphics. An aluminum-safe protectant or wax may help maintain the machined finish.

OBS Billet - "Mission Statement"
OBS Billet attempts to keep the look and feel of OEM parts, so when we design parts, we try to keep as close to the original as possible to keep you in the 'Spirit of the Era'
We also aim to create a consistent product line of 'Themes & Styles' to keep a consistent look to your aftermarket parts, rather than a disjointed collection of billet parts, that in some cases , may not suit the era or look of the truck.
We hope we achieved this.
