Good observations! The 2s are cut too deep...this was my first attempt. Since I had some 2s in front of me, I was able to measure them with a micrometer, so they are pretty freakin accurate. It's the depth of the cut and the angle of the photo that make them look a little off. I had a pic of the 123gt badge to work from, and was unable to find a matching font, so I chose one that was pretty close. In fact the whole badge was lengthened vertically by about 10 thousandths of an inch to let the tools fit. What bothers me the most is the base point under the GT is a little too pointy. But I figure once they are on the car nobody is going to see them side by side with a real 123GT badge, so it's close enough for me. I'm making 2 extra pair to start, I'll put them on eBay and let demand determine price. I know there is a very tiny market for these, a quick google search uncovered a company that makes custom Cnc badges starting at $75 a pair. They didn't really cost me anything, so I'll start them at shipping cost and see what they go for.
