Spot the difference (custom emblem)

I've been toying with casting aluminum lately, mostly to pour into fire ant mounds. After watching several hours of YouTube, I decided to mix up a batch of green sand and try my hand at ramming up molds and casting other things.

Nice work and a really subtle touch that'll be unique to your V8Roadster! Never would have thought to have done this... I like it.

That is crazy sweet! If I could stand having the Miata badge on my car I'd make you an offer!

Any chance you'll take requests? That is so so much better than any tacky aftermarket emblem you see on fleabay. I really commend you, it looks fantastic.

Tell ya what, PM me your address and I'll send you one for free ninety-five. Ive received a lot of advice and a few parts from different forum members in the past and should probably pay some of it forward. Also, let me know what color powder coat to make the writing.
