DIY Custom JDM Emblems?

Just me throwing random ideas around but I was wondering if say I wanted to put on The Transformers DC5 Overlay (GrafiXpressions - Express yourself in vinyl form!...)
but I did not want to purchase the JDM emblems, is there a way to make a custom JDM emblem to put the overlay over it?

I mean I know the overlay needs a flat surface so maybe I can make a flat surface by using material to put in between/around the honda emblem so I can put the overlay over it.

It may be a stupid idea but I want to try some things out before shelling out 100 bucks for the JDM emblems.

not too sure what was your question
if you purchase fm grafixpressions
its a direct fix on aft remove the stock emblem
as they only cost 25 for both where the 100 bucks come fm?

if you're keen to diy the whole thing yourself
you've to consider the curve to match the car
unless you do it via casting

The website says I must have this first.

Amazon.com: JDM HONDA Civic 2006-2009 (H) FRONT EMBLEM RED COLOR: Automotive

"*Note: you must already own the DC5 rear JDM emblem to utilize this product. Overlay is installed over the existing red & chrome "H" area. Overlay shown is red / chrome Decepticon overlay for EP3. [Install Instructions] "

Or is it possible for me to just by the overlay and slap it on to the emblem as it is now?
