Hornet Bee – 3D Acrylic Car Badges, Set of 2

Hornet Bee is cut as a layered acrylic shape rather than printed, so the outline catches light from several angles as you walk around the car. That movement is what makes an animal badge read as an object instead of a sticker.

Where it goes

Fender, tailgate, trunk lid or lower door - anywhere the surface is smooth, flat and sealed. Avoid textured bumper covers, plastic cladding and rough trim: those surfaces are made rough so adhesive will not key to them. If a panel is crowned, sight along the badge first and check that daylight does not show under the middle.

Materials and finish

Laser cut from 3mm cast acrylic and hand polished, with chamfered edges and UV-stable pigment. Built for full sun, rain, road salt and automatic car washes without fading or lifting.

Color options

The base plate and the text layer are chosen separately, from fifteen solid colors and five mirror finishes each. Mirror is real mirrored acrylic rather than a coating, so it does not scuff off at the edges; it adds $15 per layer.

Installation

Peel, align, press. The 3M automotive tape is pre-applied, so the only thing that matters is a clean, dry surface - wipe the panel with isopropyl first and hold the badge down for a full thirty seconds. No tools and no holes in the paint.

This is a set of two - one for each side. Fender badges look wrong fitted to one side only, which is why these ship as a pair.
