Alrighty. I thought he meant a badge for his signature, since he just asked to become a member of the club

I found this source from a past post. I am not sure about their service, I placed an order on April 30th and haven't seen them so far.

I would strongly recommend against ordering from Cooper Flags given all the problems people are having with getting orders fulfilled.

Not sure who might have the copyright to the badge (may need to create something new), but it might be worth it to approach someone like gobadges.com about creating a badge and making it available.

So I was trying to find some brighter LEDs to swap out my HALO lights and unfortunately the brightest one I found looked the same. SO I started to mess with colors to see if it would look cool. What do you guys think?

Was going to do a green but thought that would look retarded on a chili red car. which do you guys think is better? or should I stay with the white? I might try a bigger LED like a 5MM or whatever fits

In Texas you will be in violation of the Texas transportation code.Red to rear only and no display of blue front or rear. Check your state laws. And i think they look tacky, i don't like the look.

I would stick with white. Red is a bit much IMO.

I know this is a bit late, but I've been driving a Bright Rally Red '00 Camaro Z28 for the last 12 years and haven't been pulled over once, so I had no worries at all about ordering my Mini in the most head turning color available.

Looks good. The black deflector thing on the side breaks up the visual bulk nicely and adds to the black wheel & roof comb.
