I'm having my T-tops customized by a guy here at work. He does sand blasting and I'm going to have him sandblast the 35th SS logo on each t-top! I think it will look sweet

Here is my only question for you guys

How big should I have the emblem done?

Just the corner of the t-tops?
The center of the t-top?
Or cover as much of the t-top as possible?

Dude thats a tough one, Id say fist size in the center, but its sand blasting, theres no going back. Have you thought about getting a vinal decal first, I mean seriously this is like a tattoo, no getting rid of it, (unless you buy new tops).

I realize that what ever I have done is permanent unless I buy new t-tops. I thought about having a Giant S put on each T-top so it you looked at it from above it would say S S. He is going to make a 4x6 inch sample for me and bring it to work by wednesday. I'll let you guys know what I decide, but keep giving your opinions I'm still unsure what to do.

after thinkin about it, an S on each top would look really good i think.

I like the idea of a little 3x5 sized one right in the center of the tops. IMO, i think it'll look sweet like that

Have you thought about taking a top view photo of your car and photo shopping the "SS" in there?

I voted for small, but by small I mean about the size of what's in the headrest (you do have the logo in the headrest right?), or on the fender or whatever.

I voted for in the corner, cause that seems more like something the factory would do, rather than in the center, or a big one.

Also, doing a small one in the corner leaves the option open for matching the SE stripes to go over the roof, with a perforated vinyl application on the t-tops so you can still see out of them from inside the car.

I don't have photoshop at work or else I would take the time to do it, although I do have a MS PAint version of a mock-up. Not the right logo but just to give an idea of placement.
