Dragon Emblem Options

How come these ones are gold and the ones in the sticky in the 'Exterior Styling" area silver?

I'm just wondering

Camera flash. I wondered the same thing at first.

[mkernz22]

That's odd lol I've never seen a camera flash turn something silver to gold

[Spider77]

Could be the lighting in the area the photo was taken. You are right though, flashes are white, not yellow. So I retract my previous statement and go with, indoor lighting. I first looked at them and was all "wow, green and gold", thats new. I think the guy needs to post a better picture.

[mkernz22]

yeah i know he does cause I was like holy sh!t those look amazing! and now I'm like faaaaaaack. I wish they were gold and greenish blue rather than the silver and blue cause it looks a lot better IMO

[Johnnyny]

there are a couple of colors floating around

[mkernz22]

I'm so temped to buy them, but if they're not gold I'd be pissed.

The only ones Ive seen are the blue ones, the red in a white shield, and the ones posted in the threads (emblem sticky). I sent the seller a message for a better pic, cause he has them listed as blue, either the pic is bad or the description is. Not to say that a green and gold wouldn't be nice. Of course, if your handy I guess you can make it whatever color you want.

that's why you ask before bidding

[Spider77]

And still no response.................

[Spider77]

Yeah, he updated the auction page. From my guess he was using pics that were just pulled offline (or they were just a bad shot). But blue, that is what is in the "stock photo".

[mkernz22]

he replied to me and said it was the lighting

[Spider77]

yeah, would of been nice to find green/gold huh?

[mkernz22]

it would have, it looked like a really nice color combo

[97lestyousay]

Thanks, I'm going to get them from the dealer in the spring.
The only reason I wanted it was for the green and gold colors but it was just the lighting

[Spider77]

I think that if your all about detail, you can get a beat ass emblem and make it what you want. I've seen some nice custom ones. I'm trying to get my hands on a used set and see what I can do with them. I'm looking at two right now, if I get a few to trial and error with I'll try a green gold combo. You'll be the first to know. I only have one now and got different plans for it (along with the 25th exterior emblems).

I know a guy that makes these in different colors. He might be able to customize colors if you want.

[Spider77]

Those are done by hand, right? I have an idea of how these are colored/filled, but have not broken one down yet...if you could put me in contact with this guy, I have a few questions for him.

[mkernz22]

could you see if he could do a green and gold combo? more like a darker stained glass green and a dark gold
