When I saw the post about Rebadge.com, I emailed them right away. Not even 15 minutes later, I got a call from Kyle who assured me he could do it.

Within the day, he showed me this and I now need your help to determine the size for the new badge. Could someone get those dimensions and perhaps post a pic next to a measuring tape, please?

Give Rebadge a chance - they are very enthusiastic and cool!

wrong font :confused:

dan88911 07-25-2014 01:23 PM

Anyone know the correct font?
I am also curious of the badge dimensions.

Arne2 07-26-2014 08:51 AM

I got the dimensions of a factory 2.7 badge from someone here a while back. I'll look to see if I can find where I saved them. It is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1" tall by 3.75" wide.

As for font, here's a couple to peek at. The 3.5 I photo chopped from the 3.2.

Thanks, Arne2

Hi guys. I'm Kyle from Rebadge. Thank you Otto for the recommendation!

The font is still square because I don't have final dimensions. Once the piece is resized, it will receive all the correct radii. I render designs and will edit, change and alter until it is perfect, for each and every client.

Please feel free to email me with any questions or requests! Thanks!

Arnie: I also received a size from a client this weekend measuring 3.25" x 0.875"; similar but different. I can make them any size, so whichever dimensions are most requested, I will make it happen.

Cheers,
Kyle

Here is a 3.5 using the original Porsche font that I got from the local dealer a few years ago. It is not the same as the rest posted, but pretty sure this is a Porsche font (used on letters, not necessarily on badges of cars....). Assuming that the correct width is in fact 3.75" (this one is 3.76" wide), then the height turns out to be 0.887".

There is a 3.2 badge for sale right now in the classifieds.
70$ plus shipping.

Still waiting for someone to design a "Grady Clay" badge and give the proceeds to his education cause! Make a round version of Wayne's pelican tribute. Just do something!!! :)

Arne2 08-04-2014 07:31 PM

Here are the "correct" (?) dimensions.

Width = 84.45mm

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1407209230.jpg

Height = 21.40mm

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1407209266.jpg

If not using tape mount, the mounting studs need to be about ¾" in length. Height turns out to be exactly the span of two bars on the later plastic decklid grill.

Thank you for making the time to help some of us out with these photos showing the measurements!

I did the math and the length roughly equals to 3.25 inches across and .84 high. Once Kyle from Rebadge finishes mine and I get it painted to match the accents in the car, I will of course post a pic of it!

trader220 08-07-2014 11:32 AM

So whats the verdict? Will we be able to buy a 3.2 badge?

AJ's 911 08-07-2014 12:02 PM

If the answer is yes, count me in for an order!

dan88911 08-07-2014 12:41 PM
