ok.. so i was thinking, people subdue their front emblem like a flat black, and that's cool. but when you do it to the rear it looks pretty lame. i have a grey gti, and i was think this. how about, i remove the logo, get the dimensions from it, get a shop to fill in the holes on the trunk button and paint match them grey. get a pirate skull and bones made to the dimensions of the gti logo. sand it down a bit and paint it flat black and stick that bad boy in its place with some sort of appoxy. would that be hot or what?! yeesh.. anyhow, my biggest challenge, is where the hell would i go to get such an emblem render'd? :D any advise or assistance would be immensely appriciated. ;)

Lol. I would be interested to see this. It sounds like it has potential to look pretty cool.

Well, I AM a Pirate, so I'll take a gander around my ship and see if I have anything that would work for you.

Skull and Crossbones would be sweet....Check Ebay, maybe a rounded belt buckle machined onto a perfectly fitted platform.

that seem's quite promising, with a wee bit of machine work and some pant i think it'd be totally awsome!

it's 4"x3", it's a belt buckle/bottle opener! great for a rear logo! :D

Can you just sand down the original handle then put the skull and crossbones on it? After painting it that is.

so here's the deal, i order'd the buckle, i talked to my rather engineering enlightened friend and he said i should drill a hole into the button, and put a pop-rivit in there, tack weld an anchor to the buckle and push it in. sounds alot more sturdy and secure than my original idea. just a small update xD THIS WILL HAPPEN!

You could always try to find a goldsmith to make you exactally what you want and cast it for you. They may also know someplace that will cast it if you want Al or Ti if you were to do it REAL good....Maybe you could find an artist who casts metal and see if they could help you.

Great idea though
