Inverse-Engraved Design

Unlike a traditional laser-marked graphic, the inverse treatment marks the surrounding field so the OBS lettering and four-line detail remain visually prominent. This effect comes from laser marking rather than deeply machined or raised lettering. Contrast can vary with the selected anodized color and lighting.

Finish Options

• Black Anodized: Clean, understated dark finish.
• Red Anodized: Bold, high-contrast accent.
• Green Anodized: Distinctive colored detail.
• Blue Anodized: Cool-toned accent.
• Purple Anodized: Standout custom color.

Anodized shade and laser-marked contrast may vary slightly between production batches, lighting conditions, and display settings. Choose your preferred color before adding to cart.

Mounting Options

• Install Yourself — $42 per pair: No adhesive included; use a suitable automotive-grade emblem adhesive.
• Pre-Cut 3M™ VHB Tape — $49.50 per pair: Precision-cut mounting tape for clean, hidden coverage without hand trimming.

What's Included

• Two matching Classic 4-Line inverse-engraved anodized billet pillar emblems in your selected color
• Pre-cut 3M™ VHB mounting tape only if selected

Installation & Care

Remove old adhesive and clean and dry the mounting surface. Test-position both emblems before attaching them. Follow the chosen adhesive manufacturer's preparation, pressure, and curing instructions before washing the vehicle.

Wash with mild automotive soap and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and aggressive rubbing across laser-marked artwork. Do not use metal polish on anodized emblems, as it may damage or alter the finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Each order includes a matching pair.

What does inverse engraved mean?
The surrounding background is laser-marked, making the OBS lettering and four-line detail visually prominent.

Is the lettering physically raised?
No. The contrast comes from inverse laser marking, not deep relief machining.

Are these year-specific?
No. The design features OBS lettering and the Classic 4-Line detail, without a selectable year.

Will the anodized color look exactly as shown?
Color and laser-marked contrast may vary slightly with lighting, screen settings, and anodizing batches.

Is mounting tape included?
Only when you select the pre-cut 3M™ VHB tape option.

Can I polish the anodized finish?
No. Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth; metal polish may damage the anodized coating.
