  • "custom built" tags

    UPDATE:

    I found the badge/tag. See new post below for picture and let me know what you think.

    GM used to include with Firebirds an address for a company that would supply "Custom built for (your name)" interior badges. Any ideas where I can find such items?

        It was a long time ago (third generation Firebird). In the back of the owners's manual was an order form (may have been a loose leaf, I don't remember). The name plates were made by company in Michigan. The name plate had a little screaming chicken on the left and the wording on the right. I was about one inch high and three inches long. It fit in perfectly the grid design on the late 80's third gen console. I don't know what I did with mine when I sold my old car. For all I know the company is out of business / no longer does this.

          Ah rats, the local ISP connection is messing up the image transfer. I'll try to put a picture in again some other time.

          I found the old tag. I had carefully pried it off my 87 Bird before I sold the car and stuck it in a box for several years.

          I might put it in the 2000 to kind of carry on from my old car.

          It is brushed brass 31/2" X 1 1/4". The screaming chicken is one inch tall. It usually is mounted on the console. A very gentle bending will conform it to my 4th gen console.

                  How about just buying a custom badge from ZBaron?

                  I like their brass ones, just don't know what I'd put on it :D
