Can any of you guys make a grill emblem that will look like this? I thought it would dress up the front of the GC grill & not be an "imitation" of another SRT brand. Now if I can get the pic to upload.

Are you kidding? Why would you want to change the logo? Less is more.

Thank you for your opinions(though unsolicited). However, I'm inquiring if any of the members here have the means to produce this emblem.

Do you actually want to put this on the Grill? What size lettering, what gauge (thickness) steel do you want, or do you want it milled from a solid block? Do you want the letters polished, powder coated, or will you paint them yourself. I can cut just about anything on our plasma table, up to 16 gauge stainless steel (maybe 14g), I could bond multiple layers to give it thickness, then grind a nice bevel. It will cost though, union sheet metal workers are billed at $95 an hour, plus layout and materials. I can't powder coat or polish, so you'd have to find someone else for that. You really should have it milled, and that's going to be costly, but just about any machine shop in your area with a CNC machine should be able to do it.

If I were you, I'd do a search to make absolutely certain no one makes some stock lettering that would work, because that little logo could be very costly to have done right.

I like the grill emblem on the charger srt8s. I think it looks very clean and Id like to take the "JEEP" off of the hood and put the srt emblem in the grill.

CNC....excellent idea. The engine shop that I used to work for had just gotten a CNC machine right before I left their employment. I'll see if I can get them to mill the emblem from a 3x3x1/4" block of aluminum. If I have them mill everything BUT the lettering that will leave an 1/8" thick background(what remains of it) & 1/4" tall lettering. After they cut away everything except the webbing necessary to hold the letters together, I can have the whole thing powder coated black & then paint the "8" red.
Thanks for the idea.

I already removed the JEEP emblem from the hood, but I wanted to have a more personalized emblem for the grill. After all, the GC is the only AWD SUV in the SRT fleet. I just wanted something special for it's grill.:)
