Not sure Colex ever made them? Only remember under the hood bling. Oil cap, power steering cap, ciol covers.
If you go to forums on the home page and look under vendors you will see link to the web site.

I agree. I think the trunk deck and grill emblems came from Carmotorsports.

Both vendors made hood and trunk badges.

IMHO, Daniel's (Colex) were closer to the OEM look.
He also curved the rear emblem to match the trunk's profile.

Car Motorsports were polished and had more 'bling'.

Yup, that's what I like about it. A little different to set off your car, but it still looks like it could be OEM.

I received an e-mail from Daniel a couple of weeks ago that indicated that he expects to be doing more Marauder stuff again soon, but still has catching up to do first. Be patient, his stuff is of extremely high quality, is fairly priced and fits our cars properly. He did indeed make front and rear badges, customized to your imagination. Mine say:

FruitPunch
Marauder

You will be glad you waited. Dennis

+1 to what Dennis said, high-quality stuff, and Daniel stands behind it.

Hotrauder (Dennis), I notice that your signature indicates that you in fact have Colex badging.
How about sharing some photos?:help:

You're welcome.

If I get a chance, I'll take a picture of my front badge and post it up.

I had a problem with the paint flaking off the recessed portion of the badge (I think I caused it by hitting it directly and frequently with high pressure water blasts in the car wash). I e-mailed Daniel, and he told to to return it for re-painting, no questions asked. Stand up guy.

Rather than have it repainted black, I ended up customizing it with DBP paint to match the car.

In any event, I hope Daniel gets back into the "Marauder business," I'd like to get some more of his stuff.

x2 - I also contacted Daniel directly and got a response similar to the above. I've been waiting 2 years to be in a position to get these awesome pieces (which are still fairly priced) and am willing to wait as long as necessary to actually get them in my sweaty hands!

Here is a great example of Daniels work. I will be ordering a new one. After about 20 sumodd thousand miles on the front of my Marauder, it has shown some wear.
