I wasn't going to say anything due to if you can't say something nice and so on, but I gotta agree with the detractors on the signs. I don't like the painted tag cover, but that's all part of that customization stuff so I don't have to like it. The quality of the work can be appreciated even if the work itself is not something I would want for myself.
But the emblems... they look like something a 6 year old would do with tooth picks glued to a roughly whittled piece of wood and painted with model car paint. Not a good look at all, and they detract badly from the black paintwork making it look just as crappy (and I mean crappy quality, not crappy I don't care for it). Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should and in this case it shouldn't be done. It would be better to go back to the factory emblems. It might look nice if the pieces were made at a professional level, but as-is they look right up there with someone adding racing stripes to their car with a roll of duct tape.
What I would recommend is take the home-made emblem to someone who can do custom molding or CNC work and have them make an emblem using the homemade emblem as a general template like this is the size and shape you want but you want the lines cleaned up and smoothed out and the edges better defined. You can also have the thing powder coated red and the cross gold-plated although on that particular car I think it would look better to perhaps go with a black chrome star on a white background. A glinting black star would be very unique.
