    Does anyone know of a good online shop that takes custom orders for professional looking car emblems (specifically Transformers faction symbols) to replace the stock badges?

    I'm looking for an Autobot grill badge for a Honda good enough to look like it could have come from the manufacturer, but nothing I've found so far fits the description, so I'm hoping someone knows of a custom shop that might be able to make one to order.

    Failing that, if anyone has a better idea, I'm open to suggestions.

    They're not specifically designed to fit the space and don't come with a chromed border like the original emblem. I want something that looks stock, but with an Autobot symbol instead of the H, so it looks like it belongs there and not that I stuck something on the car with double sided 3M tape.

    Edit: Just to clarify, there's nothing wrong with those badges as a product, they just don't fit with the look I'm going for.

    Found this, but it's also with 3m https://www.amazon.de/Transformers-...t=&hvlocphy=1004715&hvtargid=pla-700622728925

    But I think what you're after is this, but it appears it's sold out everywhere. Maybe you could take the thing from above and mount it yourself in a similar way?

    Autozone used to have them in stock. Not sure if this is still the case.

    Perhaps I’m misinterpreting, but I read this as a need for something that directly replaces the stock badge. A Honda emblem is basically a rounded trapezoid, and I’m assuming the OP wants something of that same outline shape that contains a TF faction symbol within it. An off-the-shelf Autobot badge isn’t that shape, no matter how nicely executed.

    Yes, that is correct, thank you.

    I've resigned myself to the fact that such a thing probably doesn't exist as a pre-made product, so at this point I'd just be happy if I could find a custom shop that would make me one.

    Oh, I see. Maybe one of those smaller metal badges could be inserted into the place of the Honda H with some cutting/sanding?

    Edit: Obviously it would have to be made though. Perhaps you could contract a 3D modeler here on the boards to make one to sand down and paint chrome.
