The more I go looking at one thing the more things I find that I want! Where’d you find the black and white roundels?

Search eBay, they are vinyl stickers that cover the blue portion of the roundels.

Ahhh! Saw those and wasn’t sure how it might look. Guess it looks pretty good!

Clean the surface really well with alcohol and find the person with the steady hand. They are precisely cut and fit perfectly.
A Q-Tip with wax on the end makes it easier to line them up.

I have a great idea for a name. And I love the lighting bolts. I’m pretty sure we can get a a few guys here go in on a group order.

How much did those cost

I don’t remember but the company that made them likely doesn’t have any left.
They originally offered them in titanium, brass and aluminum.
I ordered titanium and they ended up sending me chrome plated steel. I ended up powder coating them and filled in the black.
 
I spent way too many hours scouring the interwebs looking for something that inspired me, but nothing out there made me go, “Hell yeah, that’s the one!” 😂
I’ve got a pretty specific taste and vision when it comes to my mods, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and make something myself.

Picked up some blanks off AliExpress and found a local laser shop to bring the idea to life. Everything came together really nicely, and the exposed aluminum matches the engine block perfectly.

Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Sometimes you just have to build what you can’t find. 👌

A nice thing about the R18 is you can do your own thing, well done!
