The new Pelican Grille Badges are here and in stock!

See here to order them - you can ignore the 1 per customer notice. We have 50 of each in stock (100 total), and we will be able to get more if we run out. I wasn't too sure which one would be more popular, so I only ordered 50 of each to see what the reaction would be.

Here's the link:

SATIN FINISH:


POLISHED FINISH:


Enjoy! They look very good. The first batch that we sold last year were good, but these are an improved version.

Once again, all sales proceeds will go to Charity - most likely the DSRTF - The Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation.

Thanks everyone for your continued support!

Wayne

They look nice. But is it me or would the polished bird in the satin finish be just perfect?

The bird in the satin finish looks a bit bleak (like in pale, slightly sick). Or is this a photo problem?

Exactly what I thought.

Polished bird on the satin finish would be the ticket.

+1.
Yep, have to agree. The polished pelican with the darker outlines inside the pelican and around the outside of the pelican just looks better, more contrast.

Just ordered one in satin. Even though I am currently Porscheless, I thought they were too cool to pass up.

That couldn't be done without complicating the whole process and creating yet a third iteration and third part number for the badges (it was about 15% more expensive too).

Maybe if everyone wants the satin, I will discontinue the polished, and go with the single style badge and then the higher quantity could bring the cost down on that.

Go Ahead and Discontinue the Polished Finish Badge . . .

THAT will make the Polished Badge I just ordered MORE valuable!!

Hope Wayne does not mind, but I received a surprise in the mail today from the badgemaker (I referred Wayne to him). It was a satin finished Pelican badge. I will try to post some pics on the car tonight, but all I can say is it looks GREAT! This guy (badgemaker) does very quality work.

I just noticed a terrible spelling mistake on the badges.

SCWDP is not spelled correctly. Wayne, you are going to have to rectify that.
