JDC Titanium "Takumi" Engine Builder Badge

The JDC Titanium "Takumi" Engine Builder Badge is meant to be a direct replacement to the factory badge that came on your 2014+ Nissan GT-R, or as an addition to the 09-13 GT-R's that unfortunately didn't come with the badge. This badge will fit any year or model R35 Nissan GT-R. We have an option for each of the six Takumi engine builders. You can also choose to customize this badge and add the performance shop that built your car, or something completely different. 

Takumi Kurosawa reached out to us and loved the badge so much that he needed one for himself and the other three Takumi's! You can say these badges are Takumi approved! 😃

Badge Options:

  • Takumi Name: (If you do not have a factory badge, there is no easy way to find out who built your motor, so the best option would be to pick a name. Nobody but you would know the difference!)
  • Custom Design Option: (This could be almost any name, logo, or design you can dream up. Email support@jdcustomsusa.com after your purchase and we will work with you to design your badge.)

Custom Design Notes:

  • If you select a custom design, please email support@jdcustomsusa.com with your order number along with any ideas and pictures and we will contact you to work on the design.
  • Custom designs that require extensive time to make will cost an extra $10-$20 based on the time spent on the design. If you are wanting a basic logo made that can easily be designed or pulled from the web, there will be no extra cost, but if your design requires photoshop or extensive editing time, there will be an extra charge. (If required) we will contact you before starting work to collect the extra fee.

(1) Titanium Badge with 3M Adhesive

If you have a factory badge, heating it up may help loosen the adhesive and make it easier to remove. Make sure to remove all adhesive left over from the original badge and clean the surface with rubbing alcohol to make sure the new badge has a clean surface to mount to.

JDC is not responsible for a badge that is lost or damaged due to a lack of proper adhesion.

GR5 Titanium (Grade 5 Titanium) is a premium alloy composed primarily of titanium, with small amounts of aluminum (6%) and vanadium (4%) for added strength and versatility. Renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, GR5 Titanium offers superior corrosion resistance, excellent heat tolerance, and remarkable durability. This makes it an ideal material for aerospace, automotive, medical, and high-performance applications, where lightweight strength and longevity are critical. Its ability to be anodized into vibrant colors further enhances its appeal for customization in industries like motorsports and jewelry.

How Do I Keep My Titanium Products Looking Brand New?

Installing: Wear gloves when installing titanium parts to prevent oils from your hands causing a "faded" look. After installation, clean the part before applying heat to avoid baking oils onto the surface.

Cleaning: Use our JDC Titanium Cleaner, designed to safely clean titanium without damaging the finish. Alternatively, clean with soapy water, a microfiber towel, or Windex, rubbing alcohol, or Clorox wipes.

Avoid: Harsh chemicals like water spot remover, engine degreaser, brake cleaner, metal polish, or acidic cleaners—they can damage the oxidized layer and remove the color.

Tip: Always clean when parts are cool to avoid water spots or tarnished finishes.
