How Custom Ordering Works

1. Choose your anodized color and mounting option, then place your order.
2. We contact you after checkout to collect and confirm the exact wording for your emblems.
3. Review your digital layout, checking spelling, spacing and overall appearance.
4. Approve the final proof before we make your emblems.

No custom message needs to be selected as a product variant. OBS Billet will contact you after purchase to collect the wording. Please watch for our message to avoid delaying your artwork proof.

Artwork guidelines: Text length, sizing and spacing depend on the available engraving area. Longer messages may require smaller lettering or layout changes to remain legible. Protected logos, trademarks, brand names and copyrighted artwork require appropriate authorization before reproduction. Please check your proof carefully: production follows the approved design.

Finish Options

• Red Anodized: A bold red finish with contrasting custom laser marking.
• Black Anodized: A classic dark look that highlights the personalized graphics.
• Green Anodized: A rich green accent for a distinctive build.
• Blue Anodized: A vivid blue finish with crisp laser-marked detail.
• Purple Anodized: A striking purple finish for a custom appearance.

Both emblems in the pair come in your chosen color. Shade and graphic contrast may vary slightly with lighting, screen settings and normal anodizing-batch differences.

Mounting Options

• Install Yourself — $60 per pair: No adhesive included; use an appropriate automotive-grade emblem adhesive.
• Pre-Cut 3M™ VHB Tape — $67.50 per pair: Includes precision laser-cut mounting tape for clean, hidden coverage without trimming.

What's Included

• Two made-to-order Custom Message anodized billet pillar emblems, featuring your approved wording in the selected color

• Precision laser-cut 3M™ VHB mounting tape only if the tape option is selected

Installation & Care

Remove any old emblems and adhesive residue, then clean and completely dry the mounting surfaces. Confirm the final finish and artwork, and test-position both pieces before attaching. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's surface preparation, pressure and curing instructions before washing the vehicle.

Wash gently with mild automotive soap, water and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads and aggressive rubbing over the custom artwork. Do not use metal polish on anodized emblems; it can damage or alter the coating.
