Intrest in Metal MSP # Badges

[Protege2ner]

I am looking for intrest in badges for the MazdaSpeed protege with the production number on them. These will be aluminum with rised lettering. I am looking at about $20 a piece for these. I will get a drawing up later today and hopefully have a picture of the first one by monday. If there is enough intrest I will take the time to do them. The rest is up to you.

[MSPRO]

I would be interested. but like others have said I would rather have like #xxxx/xxxx for the specific production year.

[Protege2ner]

I can do that with the production numbers. But these will be metal. I have seen the carbon fiber sticker types and they look awesome. But I figured a dash plaque type item found in the Integra R's and Harley trucks might be a little better and more official looking

I haven't seen what you are talking about? Pics?

[warrier04]

i'd be interested.

the stickers are nice, but i think the metal ones would be a bit nicer.

[marashka]

I am definately interested in metal ones.
If you actually make them at around $20 a piece, i'd probably get 2 ( interior and engine bay )

[Protege2ner]

Give me another hour and Ill have a drawing up. Im working on getting them up on my milling machine and ready to go. Im thinking i will have the first finished one by monday and I can take some pictures.

[Protege2ner]

Here is the drawing the white portions will be raised and the black portion will be sunk into the metal. Any critisism needs to be done now so I can change the drawing if need be before it goes into the machine. Size will most likely be 2 inches by 4 inches. They may go as big as 3 X 5

[mspdfreak]

That drawing is a rough draft, I hope?

[Protege2ner]

yeah it is the machine drawing will be nice and the metal will have a nice finish. If you see something that needs changed or fixed or doesnt look right let me know so it can be fixed. I have looked at it so long its just a jumble of lines to me.

Design looks good to me, is the finish going to be brushed or polished?
brushed would match the interior better IMO. Regarding the size - 2x4 seems perfect, 3x5 would be too big, for interior anyway.
How thick is the plate going to be? Rounded or sharp corners?
Keep up the good work man
Thank you.

[Protege2ner]

I was gonna do square corners. The plate is going to be aluminum 6061 thin guage an 1/8 inch think give or take. I am debating on doing a brushed back with the letters and border polished. Ill have to see how much work is involved before I make a final decision. Im trying to keep the price 20.00 bucks

gotcha man... brushed back with polished lettering and border sounds even better then what i had in mind before (lol2) .
thanks again for your work...:D

[CasopoliS]

I am not sure if I like the way "Protege" looks, but maybe I am picky. I think since the image is huge it makes it looks worse than it would really be.

[JHew84]

looks great, i'd be in for one or two of these, subscribing for pictures of a finished product...

also, i knew at one point you could call mazda to get the production number, does anyone have the phone number handy? i'll do a search later but it would be nice if someone had it already handy and could post it (for other members as well)

thanks,

James

[Protege2ner]

James there is a PDF somewhere on the forum that has the numbers listed by VIN. The protege looks completly wrong. I hand drew it from memory and then went out to look at it and relized it looked like crap. I am redoing it now. Keep it coming cause I want this to be a great part not just something that looks like it was slapped together.

[MSP#735]

hmm looks good let us know what the final design looks like....i may buy these enstead of the others...depending on the look, price and size

[1338]

im intrested in one #1338 of 1750

[yanyan]

Nice, subscribing.

[chitownballer]

i will take two sir, thank you

[MSP #167]

subscribing.....i want them when their finished

[murph1379]

I'm interested, if they turn out looking good.

[noclue119]

I like the way it looks. The onlything i don't like is the Protege front. I think you should just use the font from our car.

[sniper9]

i'd be interested

[xfaradx]

Any chance of a numbered keychain too. Galant VR4 style.

[xfaradx]

what he said

[Protege2ner]

Got the protege Font fixed It is an exact duplicate of what is on the car. I also changed the size around some so it will fit in more areas of the car. Friday or monday for a pic of the first one. Size is 1.5 X 3. When i get the first one done Ill start a list and give payment details.but im still aiming for 20 bucks or so.

very nice bro.... cant wait to see the actual piece.

[Notorious]

I'm interested in this. Let us know!

[1moreMPH]

subscrizzle...

[cmymsp]

im interested also!!!!let me know of price and when ready!!!.....
#212 of 2750

[Notorious]

Also quick question, How bendable will the metal be? I assume it'll be pretty thin. I ask because I want to put mine below the shifter, which is of course slightly curved.

[Protege2ner]

They will be aluminum thin gauge so they will bend. They will be big enough to notice but small enough to fit many places in the car.

[Notorious]

Great, soon as these are readily I'll purchase one from you. Thanks!

[1338]

are you gonna put ????/1750 for 03's and ????/2750 for 03.5?

[MSP#735]

definately like to see finalized pics before i buy!

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I'm in.....Subscrizzle

[jeremyfl]

I would be down too, depending on final product.

I heard these add like 20 whp is that true??? LOL

[Protege2ner]

The production numbers will be ????/2750 for the 03.5 and ????/1750 for the 03's. Tomorrow or monday on some pics I hope.

[MSP#735]

sweet! i wanna see em.....im comparing yours with Rickmans....

[pb4ugoout]

yea i'd be in too if they look good. and for 20 bucks a piece!

[Protege2ner]

Which would you prefer a ???? / 2750 or a ???? of 2750 format. Also 0002 or just 2 in front of the 2750.

[1338]

"1338 of 1750" sounds good.

[marashka]

"1338 of 1750" sounds good.

Ditto.
except 142 of 2750..:D

[1moreMPH]

___ of 2750 for sure. what is this 0002 or 2 thing you speak of...?

[noclue119]

___ of 2750 for sure. what is this 0002 or 2 thing you speak of...?
do u want it to show

"0002 of 2750" or just "2 of 2750"

[Protege2ner]

The first 2 are finished. Im gonna take some pics here as soon as the camera recharges.

[CasopoliS]

Hurry you a$$ up man!!!! j/k (poke)

[MSP#735]

i wanna see!

[Dr.Sound]

Picz!!!!

[Protege2ner]

I have one that was done in acrylic to check the tooling to make sure it would do the job right. I can put that up in a bit...the metal one is being done now so I wont be able to pick it up until Monday.

[Dr.Sound]

let's see

[Protege2ner]

ok this is the acrylic NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT. The final will be aluminum and have a better surface finish. Sorry about quality of the pic.

[MSP#735]

hmm looks good, as far as i can see

[evilmonkeyMSP]

any posibility for MAZDASPEED to be in color of car?

[II-Savy]

Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster (enry@protegemp3.com)

Edit: It works

[Protege2ner]

Sorry I was trying put up a better pic. this is the best one that I have Aluminum final on Monday and Ill but up a list tonight with orders and payment options.

[CasopoliS]

So on the Aluminum piece, will the letters be raised or cut out? The Acrylic looks good to me. How will this adhere?

[1338]

thats hawt!

[Velocifero]

I am in for one maybe two, need to find that PDF with the numbers, can anyone point me in the direction

[Stormtrooper77]

Arggh. I need to get my poduction number somehow!

[CasopoliS]

No love for the Canadian.

I know it must suck.... you guys get blamed for everything !!! j/k

Letters are going to be raised and adhering will be taken care of by our old friend 3M double sided tape.

[MSP #167]

ok this is the acrylic NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT. The final will be aluminum and have a better surface finish. Sorry about quality of the pic.

yes...awesome, i will take a pair.

[pb4ugoout]

any chance of getting just the mazdaspeed cut in aluminum or even protege? if i you could i would want 2 with my production number, 2 of just mazdaspeed and 1 of just Protege. 100 bucks worth of aluminum stickers! i must be friggin crazy!

[girth]

To everyone complaining about getting your production number, there's a MUCH easier way than calling them. Just send an EMAIL to registeredowners@mazdausa.com with your VIN number and they will email you back with your production number.

I've posted this numerous times and asked the mods to make it part of their stickies but they didn't listen.

You're welcome.

[evilmonkeyMSP]

any new pics?

[Protege2ner]

Im working on the piece right now the machine and the design didn't agree on things. I want these to be right so stick with me.

[TheJohnny]

I'm waiting on yours before I get one of the stickers that are offered... then I'll make up my mind, i'll probably get both to tell you the truth.

[Protege2ner]

If anyone does want an acrylic one let me know cause I can do those fairly easily. Just PM me
Also Update.... The tooling we were usinf didnt agree with the intricate lettering. So I am getting some different tooling and Am hoping to have a finished product this week. Just wanna keep you guys updated

[CChris704]

how much would the acrylic piece be? and would i be able to easily hand paint on it?

[Protege2ner]

Got some different TOOLING!!! Hopefully tomorrow Ill have something but with the way things are going no promises. Just want to keep everyone updated.

[CasopoliS]

Seems like you are putting a lot of effort into getting these for us. Thank you. You shall make a good venda grasshoppa. (thumb)

[CasopoliS]

(bump) What's the progress on these?

[rizzo]

Intrested

[Protege2ner]

Still fooling with toolpaths and tooling, there is alot of detail and I want a good surface finish. Dont give up on me.

[1338]

take your time = good product

[wicked]

anyone ever think about just getting these laser cut from a machine shop.they would look awsome,and would cost a shit load due too the speed of laser cutting.

I'll talk to the shop next door,and see what it would cost for them to do it.
I know they have a $100 minimun though

i dont see spending over $40 for this, so no.

[JHew84]

i dont see spending over $40 for this, so no.

i think he means 100 dollar minimum for the complete order, meaning the more people in on it the less expensive it costs each individual person, plus it would be easy for them to do the different numbers because its all programmed into the computer...

ok. thats cool then.

[Protege2ner]

Im was using a lasengraver. The result wasn't deep enough so I went back to a conventional milling machine. I'm still tweaking and we got really busy so I haven't had a lot of time to work on them. Next week should be more promising so hnag tight with me they will be here soon.

[JHew84]

sounds good, i was just clearing it up for 1338, i'm sure your still have everyones business (thumb)...

[ArrestYellowMSP]

Would you be able to make it the perfect size for the engine cover. You know how in the middle is says "Mazdaspeed" that would be pimp to have that aluminum there and them I can get it powdercoated black so it matches perfectly.

One thing at a time....
lol
Good Idea.

That is obviously the best idea yet.....

[CasopoliS]

The engine plate would be larger, and thus easier to machine. Heck, you could even put the prod. # on that too. I think there would be interest in these as well Protege2ner

[OneQuikMSP]

I'm interested

[Protege2ner]

Okay. Im gonna put some pics up of what I have im still working with tooling and the program to get detail. These are small so it is a little harder. THIS IS NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT. When I get home ill put a pic up so you guys can get an idea of what they will look like.

PIMPIN .... I just felt like typing it all stupid

[Dr.Sound]

i didnt see that.....not bad :)

[Protege2ner]

Sorry the internet was down last night so here is the final product.... I will set up a thread for buyers later on today or you can PM me and Ill tell ya where to send the info and the cash. Final price is gonna be $25.00 because the tooling was a little more and the padded envelopes and shipping were a little more than I had thought.

[Stormtrooper77]

Nice! But that looks huge!

[Protege2ner]

I zoomed in for detail. They are only 2 X 4. I'm gonna try and shrink them a little bit more.

[kazson]

lol nice yeah but HUGE where in the heck would you put that thing?

[kazson]

lol in that pic it looks like the size of a computer keyboard heh

[MSP#735]

lets see actual size.........

[noclue119]

Damn Protege2ner the acrylic is more expensive then metal...

Anyways anyway u can get me a deal if i get both?

[MSP #167]

I am still in.

[CasopoliS]

Acrylic is expensive.

Looks nice, some of the edges around the lettering look jagged, but that might be because you took the pic so close. Please temporarily stick this somewhere in the car and take a pic as if you were looking at it normally. Like a passenger would see it. Then I can get a good feel for size and what not. Thanks in advance.

yea, thats kind of rough but we get the idea!! thanks man

[Protege2ner]

Thanks for photoshopping that. I will place it a few places in the car so you guys can get an idea. I'm still at work and will probably be here for a while. SO when i get back to the house and get to the car and its daylight I will takes some pics with it in the car.

[1moreMPH]

guys c'mon...that either goes on the glovebox, dash, or top of the motor. haha...imo that's where best anyways...

[CasopoliS]

2x4 might be big for some areas in the interior.... but would look slick on the engine cover...

[Protege2ner]

Some of you asked for pictures inside the car. I'm gonna get the buy thread up soon if you can't wait till then PM me so I can get your info.

[Protege2ner]

some more pics the size is 1.8" X 5.25". For some of the places they will need to be bent a little bit but it is easy because it is aluminum.

And yes I know the car is dirty

[evilmonkeyMSP]

lil big for my liking

[CasopoliS]

lil big for my liking

Yea, it would def. be an under the hood item...

[evilmonkeyMSP]

and at that point, im not gonna buy it because I rarely open my hood except for oil changes.




Yea, it would def. be an under the hood item...

[Dr.Sound]

a little too big.
i was thinking maybe the size of a technical eraser...

[MSP #167]

ill def put that under my hood somewhere, ill take one.

[BradC]

I want one that I can put on the bottom right corner of my flip-down door under the radio...too big though! When do they go on sale?

[Protege2ner]

Im trying 1 nore thing to see if i cant get them to like 1 by 3. Then they will go on sale.

[Protege2ner]

Okay the one in the back is the one from thepictures yesterday. The one on top of it is the new one. It is 3" wide and 1" tall. PM me if you want one. I also need your production number, year, and if you want the large or small size. Thanks

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Schweet!! much better. still the same cost?

[Protege2ner]

Yes, $25 cause I gotta buy all the padded envelopes and some new tooling for the machine that does these.

[phantom]

when is this on sell? I want a small one. but then I would need to bend it to stick it below the shifter, would it stay on the curve though?

[Protege2ner]

You'll have to carefully bend it but yea with a little heat you can bend them to that shape. Just PM me if you want one.

[Protege2ner]

Anyone else want one? PM me

[1338]

i want a small one (small) but i cant afford one right not. yea i know its sad i can afford $25.

[Dr.Sound]

much better.
i will be PMing you in a week or so......

[Protege2ner]

Anymore orders for todays run??? PM me

[kazson]

i still cant really tell the size of the smaller one ...can you make some pics with it inside you car like you did with the larger one?

[Protege2ner]

yea, can do but it might be sunday cause i got to go on a little road trip to pick of an engine for my Silvia

[phantom]

protege2ner, I have paypal you.

[sniper9]

looks pretty sweet, I just got to find out my #

[CasopoliS]

Protege2ner, did you get my PM?

[Protege2ner]

No, I did not unless it was under a different name.

[Protege2ner]

This should give you a good idea of the size...

[CasopoliS]

I like that. How did the numbers turn out? More detailed pics?

[MSP#735]

i think that belongs in the engine bay, personally....

[murph1379]

I'll take one, but I too will have to wait a little bit...

Oil change > metal plate.

[JHew84]

i'll be sending you a PM in the next few days, very impressed with the way they turned out!

i am faced with one of the hardest decisions of my life - where to mount this beauty... as soon as i do though, pics will follow...

[Protege2ner]

Glad your happy with it. Anything else I can do let me know. I mounted mine right below the shift boot. But the small ones fit a ton of places.

i know man, they fit everywhere..:D and i am debating on whether to put is in the same place as yours or on the outside right below the mazdaspeed sign on the trunk...... or order another one and put it in the sides, on front fenders.... decisions , decisions....lol

what else yo can do.... hmmm... that spoiler thingy would be the best..;) no rush though, whenever you get around to it. i 'd rather wait for a quality item, you know.

Thank you again

Marat.

[Protege2ner]

Working on the spoiler thing...Stuff has been a little crazy around here. I'd put it inside somewhere, that way you won't have to worry about it walking off, plus you wont have to polish it as often. Just my thoughts...

I APPLIED FOR Approved Merchant Member today so hopefully that will be on my name soon.

better pics of the smaller plate?

[Protege2ner]

better pics of the smaller plate?

Inside or outside the car cause I have two or three on my desk now.

[Rush]

.. Does anyone have a shot of the smaller plaque below the shifter, on that curved silver section? I think that's where I'd put mine. Just curious to see what it'd look like beforehand. :)

[CasopoliS]

Inside or outside the car cause I have two or three on my desk now.

Anywhere. I just want to see one far away and one up close. I think you posted a pic a while ago of the smaller one, but it was a bad pic. I want to see the letter quality on the smaller one. Thanks. In the car would be great, as long as I get an up-close to see detail. Thank you. Once you get a few emblems down, along with some other products (like the one I spoke of in the PM I sent you a long time ago), you need to make some, take close and far away pictures, then start a FS thread in the AMM section. I think you could make some great products.

[Protege2ner]

This is a pic of the small one next to a ruler. Should give you an idea of the detailand size...I scrubbed out the production number in photoshop that is why it is fuzzy.

Yeah it shipped last week with the others that have already gotten theirs. Maybe it is taking a while cause it had to cross the border. Let me know when you get it.

oh wow, what is wrong with all you people so much interest and only 5 were sold.

Im glad i got one i like it alot....i've gotten a bunch of compliments on it.

[Protege2ner]

Im glad your happy with it. Ive actually had some other people with STis and A guy with A Z06 ask me about one. Im glad your happy with t. I have a few more projects brewing, I got something cooked up to fix the wheel hop issue once and for al. Its being tested as we speak.

Nice.
I don't know if I like how they turned out... no offense. I don't know how many people know about these either. The fact that you didn't have 'first mover advantage' did not help your cause either. You might have sucess with a more universal product. Make a front licence plate 'delete' like I mentioned over PM a long time ago. Most of those holes are universal, so you could sell them to just about anybody. Make many designs and post the drawings, and let people pick which one they want. I would paint mine... but some might like a metal one as well. Something like this:

http://www.neuspeed.com/products/product_details.asp?app=34|CV&type=13&ltype=ns_import&p_id=1072

I just think you might do well selling these.... but who knows. Since it is not that small.... tooling might not be as bad as the small badges.

ahhh i love living in North Carolina....

....good to know. thanks for that little tid-bit of information.

[Protege2ner]

[spike blue]

Lost me on the NC thing
ok i want one what do i need to do??? pm me

[JHew84]

me to, i'll be getting my production number as soon as i have time to go get the VIN off the car...

[Protege2ner]

I sent you guys PMs

[phantom]

I receive the badge today. thanks.

just that I really wouldn't read the number on the plate.... the engraving is so light that one can't even read it unless you look at it really really close.....


so I am not that satisfy....

[ArrestYellowMSP]

DUDE! So do that for our cars! That would be alot nicer to have on the car rather than the stupid front liscence plate.

I guess Ill start working on this and see how much they will cost.

[Protege2ner]

New Idea is in the works.

[phantom]

protege2ner, is there anyway you can replace my plate with one that I can actually read the #s on the plate? the engraving on my plate is so light that no one can read it, that's no point of having this if no one can read.

Yea, anything to make a customer happy. PM me your number again so I can double check and Ill send another one out to you.

[evilmonkeyMSP]

what?? are you doing the licence plates ??? if so i will like to get one .

[CasopoliS]

I think he is talking about the last batch of # plaques. I would buy a licence plate 'delete' from you as well. I will get you some dimensions over PM to aid the design process. I think it would be neat if it said:
MAZDASPEED # 247 / xxxx or,
MAZDASPEED or,
MSPROTEGE.COM

By the way I am impressed so far. I hope to see some new products from you. As I have always said, I think you could do well with the licence plate 'delete'

[Protege2ner]

The last bunch of plaques is what I was refering too. I would love those dimensions for the delte kit, Im also working on a wheel hop eliminator kit. I did one for the KA24 Nissian 240sx and it works beautifully so I am going to adapt the design for our cars and test it on my car.

Nice. I will get you the dimensions and possibly the thread specs on the bumper holes. I will draft one of these plates then print it in true scale. I will see if my buddy at the mazda dealership can hold this up to other cars to verify it's a universal fit.

[phantom]

protege2ner, I have pm'ed you with my number again.

that's very nice of you to try to do another one for me. I hope this one turns out better.

I appreciate your business. looking forward to receive it !! thanks

I can draft it cause I already have the logos draw. I just need the measurements

[CasopoliS]

ok cool, well once you get it drafted up.... send me a pic of it at 100% so I can print it. I want to verify how universal the part is. Maybe the new Mazda 3's have these holes.... since they don't have a ton of aftermarket products just yet, I think you could gain some sales there as well.

[poboxjosh]

i want one.

[Protege2ner]

[Protege2ner]

It went out yesterday..things have been hectic. I sent it air mail and the lady at the post office said 4-7 days. So it should be there in 3 to 6 days. I sent you 2 replacments one was scratched a little and the other is perfect. Hope that makes things better. Thanks for the buisness.
