Product Description - Sold as a Pair
Combine your own message with a bold anodized finish using our Custom Message Billet Pillar Emblems – Anodized. Choose the wording and color, and we will create a custom laser-engraved layout sized specifically for the full-size cab-pillar emblem profile.
Each emblem is CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum, anodized for added surface protection, and precision laser-engraved to reveal crisp, contrasting graphics. 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.
Supplied as a matching pair, these made-to-order emblems offer a distinctive OEM+ way to add a name, build theme, club reference, or original message to your truck.

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.
