Put your truck's model year front and center. Our Year-at-Top Anodized Billet Pillar Emblems place your chosen year at the top of the graphic for a distinctive twist on classic OBS styling, finished in your choice of five anodized colors.
Each emblem is CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum, anodized for color and added surface protection, then precision laser-marked for crisp, contrasting graphics. A personalized finishing touch for restorations and custom OBS builds alike.

Installation & Care
Remove any old adhesive and clean and dry the mounting surface. Test-position both emblems before attaching them. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's preparation, pressure, and curing instructions before washing the vehicle.
Clean with mild automotive soap and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and aggressive rubbing across the laser-marked graphics. Do not use metal polish on anodized emblems, as it may damage or alter the 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.
