Golden Car Wings

99, If you all remember those wings that were once sold in the exchange to beautify your car, I have stumbled across a way to get them and offer them here if anyone here is interested. Webmaster has graciously allowed this space to be used, but this is new territory for me. I have no idea what the interest level in these would be, so I obtained a limited selection to see if they are still desirable.

Years ago these were everywhere and then they disappeared. I even found an old thread on AW looking for them from '05. At least as far as I could see across Hampton Roads at the time, a lot of guys had them because they're better than stickers and they can add a certain panache to your self-affirmation plan. Now I only see the window sticker wings available and I'm not a big fan of those.

These are plastic 3D badges much like the existing OEM badges, about 5 inches long (backed with adhesive tape). They're not flawless under a microscope, but they're pretty sharp, durable, and meant to ride on the back of your car through the rain. They're a little too big for your chest, but they tend to look smaller on something the size of a car. I've also seen them used on other things like mailboxes, motorcycles, office door placards, and award plaques.

The only wings I have now are pilot and NFO. There are two flavors: gold and subdued black. The gold is always a winner, but the black can look cool on various applications. The price right now is at $7.95 ea. and that includes shipping to anywhere in the United States. E-mail or PM me with your information if you need international shipping. I have no idea what the future holds for these and I'm trying to hit a reasonable price so that we can have the wings, yet not be upside down on 'em, so who knows. I have questions pending responses regarding other warfare pins (like SWO or AF wings) and I think there might be some smaller ones too, but I have yet to obtain them. Either way, I will keep everyone posted if there is interest. I'll work on getting more images posted too.

Right now, PayPal is my best option. Payment can be sent to goldencarwings@yahoo.com. If you have a special request or idea, email me there too. If snail mail is your only payment option, we can talk it out on email. *edit* it turns out, I can't do the multi-wing discount because of PayPal fees. Those who have already made a purchase will be ok.

A word from our lawyers: Feel free to at least change your name on your shipping address in the PayPal if opsec is your game. I wouldn't send my personal info to some joker online, so by all means play it safe. I have no use for such knowledge, but it's worth noting. I'm definitely not in this to steal anyone's lunch money, so if there are any problems email me right away. If you don't like the wings, feel free to return them and I'll give you a refund. If there is a shipping problem or doubt, don't hesitate to email.

Woa! Sorry. Not sure how that happened, so I'm deleting the images. The pages I was seeing were blank. And you thought "click for larger" meant a better picture.

All images repaired.

Are you going to be doing this for a while or is this a one time thing? Would probably want a pair when I wing.

I'm down. I'd probably buy a couple and my dad would probably nab a few for him and his buddies.

Got your messages, all. The paint on my original set lasted about ten years, and I refurbished them when I found out they were a scarce commodity.

As long as there is interest, I'll make it happen. Paypal also offers some degree of buyer protection for 45 days if anyone is squeamish about that.

Yeah, feel free to tell your buddies about them. I realize that the whole of Naval Air isn't surfing AW all day, but if we can generate any profits we can put some points on the board for hosting fees or something. The one-sie two-sie buys benefit from First Class Mail rates, but a bigger buy would flex with the weight.

I think I'm the one that was looking for them in thread from '05. Count me in for two.
