Question Help from Evo VIII and IX owners.

Hi guys, I need some help with getting measurements on badges for an EVO VIII and an EVO IX. I need to measure from the bottom of the to the top point on both front and back badges. If anybody could get these measurements I'd be really appreciative. Standard please, no metric.

I'm making overlay badges for the EVOs and they're smaller than my ralliart badges which is why I need the measurements.

Fine, I'll up the ante cause I need to get the measurements quick.

I'll give a free pair of badge overlays to the first EVO VIII and EVO IX owners that can give me their badge measurements. They will ship out later this week.

Come on guys, I know some of you will be willing to spend the whopping 2 minutes with a tape measure to get a free cosmetic mod for your evo.

Front 3.9 from bottom to up creating a 90 degree angle (it's hard to measure exact because it's curved)

4.6 from edge of a bottom diamond to top edge.

Back 2.9 from bottom up (like above)

3.6 from bottom edge to top edge.

I just went back to check. My memory was messing with me, it wasn't 1.6 / 1.9

Thanks guys, I'd give it to lookEVO normally but he didn't measure it, he was just assuming. The first measurement message I actually got was From Adam5743 one minute before evolution888 gave me his measurements.

This is fantastic because My ralliart badges that I already had made are 3" in the back. They might be the same size after all, I'll re measure the front to confirm this.

I still have one pair of overlays to give out to the first EVO IX owner to post his/her badge measurements here.

Thats fine, you don't have to own an EVO IX, you just have to measure one.

Currently, I'm reading the EVO VIII as being a 4" tall badge in the front and a 3" in the rear. Thats a slightly larger front emblem than the ralliart but the rear is the same.

My agenda for today: Crank out black and red evo overlays, Reflective blue ralliart overlays (they glow blue when headlights shine on them), and Ralliart mesh grill badges. I'll be busy.
