Built to stand out without abandoning the clean lines of your OBS. Our Trucking EyeCandy™ Inverse-Engraved Billet Pillar Emblems bring the signature Trucking EyeCandy™ artwork to solid billet aluminum, with an inverse laser-marked treatment that gives the lettering stronger visual presence.
Each emblem is CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum and finished with a natural machined, semi-polished appearance. The surrounding field is precision laser-marked, leaving the main graphic visually prominent against the aluminum. A distinctive OEM+ accent for restored trucks, street builds and custom projects.

Vehicle Fitment
Intended primarily for 1988–1998 Chevrolet and GMC OBS C/K 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups and compatible SUV applications. Check that the intended mounting area accommodates the 77 × 38 mm emblem before ordering, especially if the factory trim has been modified or replaced.
Inverse-Engraved Design
The inverse treatment laser-marks the surrounding field so the signature Trucking EyeCandy™ lettering stands out. The visual contrast is produced by laser marking; the artwork is not physically raised or deeply relief-machined. Marking contrast can vary slightly with lighting and surface appearance.
Finish
Machined 6061-T6 Aluminum: Natural, semi-polished billet aluminum that shows the machining character and contrasting laser-marked design. Uncoated aluminum may oxidize naturally over time; use a suitable aluminum-safe protectant if desired.
Mounting Options
- Install Yourself — $42 per pair: Supplied without adhesive. 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 Trucking EyeCandy™ inverse-engraved machined billet pillar emblems
- Precision laser-cut 3M™ VHB mounting tape only when the tape option is selected
Installation & Care
Remove any existing emblem and adhesive residue, then clean and fully dry the mounting surface. Test-position both emblems before attaching. Follow your chosen adhesive manufacturer's surface preparation, pressure and curing instructions before washing the vehicle.
Clean with mild automotive soap and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads and aggressive rubbing across the laser-marked field. An aluminum-safe protectant or wax may help maintain the natural machined finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these sold individually?
No. Each order includes a matching pair.
What does inverse engraved mean?
The surrounding background is laser-marked so the Trucking EyeCandy™ artwork appears more prominent.
Is the lettering raised?
No. Inverse laser marking creates the visual contrast without raised or deep relief-machined lettering.
Are these year-specific?
No. The design features Trucking EyeCandy™ artwork without a selectable model year.
Is mounting tape included?
Only if you select the pre-cut 3M™ VHB tape option.
Can the laser-marked areas be color-filled?
Customers may choose to apply a color fill as a personal modification; it is not included. Take care not to damage 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.
