Was looking at my car, the entire back end is frozen with snow and it looks WICKED! Especially the badges.

I started pondering if it would be possible to get a custom made E-320 badge to look frosted like that. Would anybody be able to make one for me? I'm not sure if it's possible or if there's even a material like that which could be shaped and applied to my car...

But if I wanted something like this done, who would I talk to?

haha, I know, it's so hard to explain, I wanna take pics but have no camera...

You know when it's really freakin cold out, and snow is on trunk on the back or on the rear bumper?? It gets really frozen and it looks like little snow poofs...

Something like this effect?

YES!!! Except on my car right now it looks quite a bit better, but that's pretty close.

Yeah most of the effect on the badge was melted off by the exhaust.

Haha, too bad. I think the best way to explain it right now is that's it's very granulated, like how snow collects on the branches of those really skinny trees...

lol now I know what you mean. yeah it looks cool. I sit there at the back of my car gawking at my wing badge when it gets like that and I'm like "cooooooool"

then I reach over, grab it, it freezes my hand, my hand melts the frost and the moment is over :poosie: and the liftgate opens :nut:

;) I know dude :)

I was thinking though that if it was possible I could do a whole ice theme on my car, eventually painting it very whitish blue etc...

So in the middle of summer your car will look like a big ice cube?

you can buy window frosting stuff from home depot which might work....it's usually used to make a clear window translucent, but it would probably achieve the look you're looking for....

I thought clear windows were always translucent... :D

Thanks for the idea, I have to find something to try it on though, or maybe I'll just debadge the car.

Semi-serious, only if it turned out well though, otherwise I'd just debadge the car or make them black.
