thomashohl Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Just curious if there is any interest in Black knobs with logos laser engraved on the face? I was thinking it might be really cool to have the Pioneer Logo or a Toyota logo on them or something like that. Cost? Probably an additional $12.00 for a stock Logo like Pioneer or a car logo and as much as $50.00 for something custom. What do you guys think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kmbrun57 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thomas, It sounds like a cool idea. I would probably not be interested, I'm more of a function guy than a cool look guy (age I guess). I think you might run in to a copyright problem however. Pioneer, I would think, would have a problem with you engraving their logo, as well as Toyota, Ford, etc. Don't want to see you get into a legal hassle, as your knobs are the greatest! Just looking out for you. Kevin (CMC) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rudf0rd Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I did this for my VW R32. It came out alright. I talked to them about getting it engraved rather than laser etched, but they said that the detail would not be as good. I think it would look better to have the silver come through, but not sure how that would be possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thomashohl Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Nah, I'm probably not going to do this anyway. It's a great idea. I was just curious if there was anyone else out there that was interested in these. There are just too many possibilities and the cost is just too high. Great idea though. I just heard back from the engraver yesterday and basically he wanted to do 50 at a time to make it worth setting up the machine for, so it doesn't really look possible for me to do.

cino135 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 id be in on a group buy if we could find a vendor. also, could they offer variances in color, other than black and aluminum? a Subie emblem in metallic blue would certainly get my $$ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xero8p Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thomas I am wanting to get this done to my knob I am waiting for (somewhere local not you don't worry =oP). What are the differences and choices to have something put on the knob? I am wanting to get my cars logo put on it I just want it to look as good as possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
