Yes. Started by taking a straight down photo of the hood from a ladder to use as a guide in CAD. Drew the design in CAD first right over the photo. Once I was satisfied that I had the general design, I could plot them full scale on paper to use as test templates. I'd lay those on the hood and decklid to check fit, curvature, size, etc. After a few iterations, having to make some tweaks each time to get it just right, I exported it from CAD to Illustrator and had my graphics dept. cut the vinyl. With pre-space film I was able to install them with a squeegee using the wet method. Definitely a lot of work but I love the results.
Found the peel and stick 376 badges on Amazon. They come in black or white. Not a bad price... I just hope they hold up in the elements.
