    all tore up already
    looks cool, id be very interested if the clear portion was really clear to give the metal a more floating look and if it were a direct swap for the front grille emblem

    But can you do it with your eyes open, some you just can't cause it hurts to look at. Better yet, will you want to look at it after your done?

    Nice job on the machining but personally I'm not a fan of that logo design... I see it and just think "Transformers" and think of the moronic young drivers that stick those badges on their Civics and Camaros and fantasize that their car will turn itself into NerdmagnetPrime.

    Nicely done!

    I planned to make center caps for my FN fx pros, but ended up liking what came with the wheels (which killed all motivation).

    Also have mastercam, CimcoEdit, NCPlot, Fusion 360. In house we have a 1998 VF-3, 2015 Doosan DNM500II, and two basic Mazatrol-only lathes. Add up our other facilities, too many to list.

    This was my mock up,

    Logo seems too bulky for a small truck. It kinda looks like a 1UP mushroom.

    Nice job man. To be honest, I like your clear look over the black versions. Something about the stripes give it a more metal/meaner look. I like the logo and recognized at first glance. It'll be unique and I doubt you'll see many if any in your neck of the woods. Post pics once you get installed on your grill. If I wasn't running the TRD Pro grill on my TRD Pro, I'd think about asking you to make me one!
