Okay so after checking out the Billet Badges site I stand corrected on the terminology. Accordind to them, a badge is what is located on the grille and tailgate because it follows a consistent shape i.e. an oval, rectangle, etc..
The few examples they show really didn't do ianything for me. I'd prefer stock over those, but I liked the fender badges they showed. I was wondering about maybe modifying a stock badge by either custom paint or a decal from the backside somehow. I'll pull one tomorrow and see if what I'm describing is even possible. I've seen the orange and black H.I. badges before which I thought looked real trick and at a glance it appeared that the oem had been modified to achieve the result.?
