Sign me up for a brushed finish Sli pedal. It would be cool if you could make actual pedal covers as well as I'm rocking the stock rubbers.

I might be able to, let me see.Originally Posted by decke48
I just wanted to make it a point to explain to everyone. I can do custom pedals however I usually like to add an additional charge to that since it actually takes me a good half an hour if not more to do custom work. What I've created so far has been a long time in design and concept.
As for brushed, powder coated, filled in letters and what not that I don't mind adjusting those variables per order. For those who have sent me requests already I am working to make designs that are both what you want and something I can continue to manufacture for other customers. Don't take this as me being rude, I just don't want to be stuck designing 20 custom pedals for the next week, haha. If you would like something custom please by all means send me a private message and we can work something out outside of the group buy or perhaps I can count it with the group buy depending on the terms.
Group buy is at 5 pedals, get those orders in and we can get the first lot of 10 machined and shipped!!
Cheers!

I actually had been meaning to try this for sometime but got off track. Well I tried just to get the color into the letters. Here is what I got.Originally Posted by YamazakiSubaru
Remember this was my scrape pedal so I used it as my piece to try out the concepts.
Overall the method I found for getting the powder into the letters worked, it doesn't look perfect but I don't know how often someone has their head 6" from your pedals, haha.
I will be trying to fill in with the anodized red tomorrow on another pedal and am hoping for a fantastic outcome!
Note: The process can leave small amounts of powder coat still on the surface outside of the letters. You can't see it in the picture but my eye can see it

Anodized red could be cool in the lettering of a brushed aluminum pedal.

I thinking I want one, but I want "LEGACY" vertical, rather then sideways. Is that gonna be a pain? Sorry for being picky, the sideways thing just bugs me.
Like this... but saying Legacy...

Are you both after having the letters vertical or keep the letters like how they are but change it from angled to written straight up and down?Originally Posted by kimokalihi

Vertical, just like the WRX one. That would be perfect! Smaller letters for fitment is fine. I just dont like reading things sideways or having things tilted if you know what I mean. I like the Factory look. Besides, it would match my JDM scuff plates. =)
I want one just like dead is describing with the word legacy vertical, in brushed.

For some reason I knew that the Legacy going down vertical would be popular.

Modding a car is a Lifestyle that only you can live. Make it the way you want it.
If you can make one with the vertical legacy letters so I can see how it looks I might want that jnstead of sli but it depends on how it looks. That's a lot of letters to cram in a small space. Might look dumb if they're too small I dunno.

Alright guys, I threw this 3D model together, let me know what you guys think. Lettering still needs adjusted, this is mostly to show sizing and fitment compared to the holes.Originally Posted by Dead91silvia

Come on guys hop on this! This is a very awesome piece, I wish I had more Subarus to buy more. If you have aluminum pedals or plan on getting them, this is a must!

My bad guys, actually forgot to draw this one up. I made a very rough concept to show how it would look on the pedal as well as sizing. The letters still need to be refined if this works for you guys. Also the font is from the image posted earlier in the thread, I have software that rips the image and converts it to a vector image for my design work. You will notice some of the letters look more curved, don't worry if this is what you guys want I'll clean it up and give everything the rounds and straights needed to make the pedal you guys want!Originally Posted by Wiscon_Mark
Also a little update, can anyone guess what's being engraved here?

Can you do Powder coated wrinkle Black with red lettering?
2016 Mazda 6 GT
Technically yes I can however I will caution you in that the red powder might leave some small deposits on the wrinkled black, it is an annodized red so it really shouldn't be noticable but I don't see that being an issue at all to do!Originally Posted by TGX4776

I've heard all about that fiasco and am friends with 6 people who are users on here, 3 of who also were in that group buy. I've seen what they look like and its nothing short of garbage.Originally Posted by Dead91silvia
I am trying to start my own business that I hope to make my main source of income and be known and respected in the Subaru community. That doesn't happen with half*** work and cutting corners. I'm not trying to give you the salesman pitch, its just I very much get the biggest grin on my face when someone tells me they love the product. I'm not afraid to say it, this is all new to me (The business side of this, I've been in manufacturing for a few years).
I guarantee you'll be happy with what you purchased!
This is how I spent the past hour, and I'll be doing the same with the Forester model here soon. Every line is redrawn, I measure and move the letters so everything looks proportionate. So you can be assured what your getting wasn't just put together the few minutes before machining!
