that's what I figured, but never heard him called that.

SweetDaddyD · 06-21-2008, 07:04 AM

Thanks. Everyone that ordered should be getting them any time as they have all been sent.

I do realize it's not as catchy as Sweet Daddy Delicious though. lol

SuperVixen · 06-21-2008, 12:10 PM

I stuck mine on today. I don't think it's perfect as far as centering goes, but it is at least straight.

I'm having my detailer install the other custom badges and clean the car today. I'll post pix of the finished product later. Thanks again ChuforiaGraffix.

Likuid · 06-21-2008, 12:38 PM

I was just thinking someone needed to make these today since I ordered black wheel centers and badges from BWR. I don't see it on your site though.

SweetDaddyD · 06-21-2008, 06:21 PM

yeah, sorry, I need to update my site. I've done so much work since it was last updated. Just haven't had any time for it lately. Just made custom matching oil cap covers too, and picked up a stock oil cap tonight to do test fitting on.

knucklehead · 06-22-2008, 02:47 PM

Installed my badges today. They look Fantastic. Since there are already pics of the badges on the steering wheel, I won't bore you with pics of mine.

Here's what they look like on a painted black valve cover. I originally put the badge on without painting the circle, but since the circle is part of the logo it didn't look right. A five minute paint job on the circle on the valve cover really helped to make it look OEM and dresses up the look of the engine through the grills.

Thanks Keith!

SweetDaddyD · 06-22-2008, 03:59 PM

Bob, the same thing would happen as with the emblem that is on it now, most likely. It's not supposed to fly at you. The 3 prong mounting system is supposed to let the wheel split in two and the emblem is supposed to stay attached to to the top half. The overlay does not affect the stock mounting system in anyway. If metal comes flying at you with this on, well it was going to anyway- so the thin rubberlike coating over it will soften the blow of the chunk of metal that was going to hit you. lol. But just like my disclaimer included with them says- install at your own risk. It really should be used on off road show vehicles only blah blah blah and all that crap.

EliseAtLeast · 06-22-2008, 04:45 PM

knucklehead, what kind of paint did you use for the lettering? Did you also paint the whole engine cover with glossy black paint? It looks great.

Thanks. I used a silver paint pen called DecoColor opaque paint marker. Yes I had the valve cover and header cover painted a piano black.

I did my covers before one our members daughter started painting them. Do a search She does a great job.

SweetdaddyD,

Would you still happen to have some the black steering wheel buttons (I'll take 2). Also interested in the Starshield Rockers (any installers in the LA area you can recommend?). FYI I have a PayPal account.

SweetDaddyD · 07-24-2008, 06:54 PM

I still have them.

I'll reply to your e-mail here in just a sec.
