    Trunk custom chrome letters

    I've been trying to think of how to re-badge the Protege after she's all done, and ebay has been a big help lol.

    I'm wanting to add some custom letters to the trunk area, above the garnish, on both sides, but i'm not sure what the best idea is...keeping in mind i'd like some OEM names used, nothing custom.

    fyi, this is what the rear end looks like before body and paint



    so far i like

    FAMILIA
    BG8R (bg gtx sedan code, similar to GTR @ BG8Z)
    INFINI
    1.8 GT
    EUNOS 100 (its an Astina, but still BG)

    also the familia garnish may be temporary if i can source out a 323 sedan garnish w/ fogs (says 323 instead of Familia)...but thats years down the road.

    Also what would ppl say to a Famlia badge (the triangle one) in the center of the 2 words? since i'll be shaving the trunk lock.

      I've been thinking of getting a different badge for the branding, but I'm keeping that to myself. I think it would look good if done properly though.

      That 'skirting' on your rear bumper, is that something you put on or part of the bumper itself?

        thats just a usdm/cdm bumper with a 323 plate section and a 97 accord rear lip

          EUNOS 100 would be cool as most people in North america probably have no clue what an Astina is, keep the fools confused. lol

            ya for sure haha, thats why i'm not opting for the USDM/CDM badging, trying to stay away from the normal stuff ppl can ID instantly.

            I think i've decided on

            thoughts?

            the front grill has the flying v symbol right now, but im thinking about using the EUNOS V symbol instead , but i'm working on an infini replica grill, and i'm also gutting the mesh from a 90/91 style grill, just neat things to set things apart...

            edit: eunos v =

                  He-he, custom letters when they are authentic are good!
                  Infini are definitely rarest mazda letters - good choice
                  Astina badge is round but your grill plate is less in size (where mazda badge is situated now) or I'm wrong?

                    why how big is the eunos symbol? i thought it'd only be around 2.5" or so. I'll check ebay again to see if they list the sizes lol. but afaik the flying v symbol looks around the same size.
