Robert...$183.48 for 12 of them...could have done 6 for $171.30 (which was the minimum)...might as well drop the extra $12 for twice as many. FYI...I also sent them the old center that I removed... so they got the dimensions perfect the 1st time...they said they would keep it on file for future use.

Thanks for sharing... I look forward to seeing yours! I really like the idea of a custom badge; it tops of the whole idea of customizing the Fiero as a lot of us tend to do.
