I played around with the idea of including a "limited production" plaque with each of the supercharger kits once I get those worked out.

If you just want something made for your car I can powdercoat something for you and have it engraved or etched with whatever you want it to say.

I would recommend getting a piece of aluminum and just having it engraved. To do the color part, do it one of two ways.
1)Paint the whole piece, then have it engraved. This will leave the rest of the part painted with the engraving the aluminum color.

2)Have it engraved, then paint the whole part, the sand it with a block and sand paper or something similar. This will keep the paint in the engraved part, and leave the rest aluminum color.

look into metal "etching" I like the finished look better.

I'd say engrave and then anodize.

I'm not an anodized fan.....I prefer powdercoating....although I may be a little biased!
