Vehicle Metal Cards

Upgrade Any Credit Card Into a Vehicle Metal Card

The garage says everything about you. The wallet says nothing. Time to close that gap.

Lion Card converts your plastic credit, debit, or prepaid card into a laser-engraved vehicle metal card via our patented EMV chip transplant, U.S. Patent No. 11,562,194, trusted by over 50,000 customers since 2015.

Still your card. Same account, same number, same bank. Now it has horsepower.

Why Car People Choose Engraved Metal

Machines deserve to be drawn in metal, and this is the only card that gets built the way a car does.

• Bodylines in steel: Silhouettes, fenders, and wheel arches are pure line and contrast, exactly what laser engraving renders sharpest.
• Machined, not printed: Engraving is removed metal, milled and cut like a part off the line, and daily carry will not erase it.
• 28 grams of curb weight: A plastic card weighs about 6 grams. Yours weighs 28, with the solid feel of a machined component.
• Spec it your way: Profile view, front quarter, or badge-style detail, the angle is your call.
• Preset or fully custom: Pick a machine above, or bring your own build to our custom team.

Their Icon or Your Build, How to Choose

Vehicle designs split between the celebrated silhouettes and the one parked outside your door.

Choose a preset for the icons

The preset range covers celebrated silhouettes and machine styling, ready to engrave with no design round. If the shape is instantly recognizable, it is probably here. Order and production start once your card arrives.

Choose custom for your own machine

Send photos of your actual car, bike, or build and our team translates it into engraving-ready line art. You approve the mockup before anything is cut.

How It Works

Your card gets re-engineered, not recreated. We transplant your real EMV chip into a metal body, so your account number and bank never change. Simple on your end, precise on ours.

• Order: Pick a design and get a prepaid, tracked label by email.
• Ship: Send your card, or freeze it first. We never ask for your PIN.
• Approve: Sign off on the emailed mockup before anything is made.
• Receive: Both cards come back together with tracking.

Does a vehicle design change how the card works?

No. Chip insert and swipe work anywhere your original card worked, and you can tap through Apple Pay or Google Pay. Just avoid ATMs that pull the card fully in.

Can you engrave my own car from photos?

Yes, this is one of our favorite custom jobs. Send clear photos from your preferred angle and the team converts them to line art. The mockup shows exactly how your build lands in steel.

Can I add my plate, build name, or year?

Yes, short text engraves cleanly under or beside the machine. Plates, model years, and build names are all common. Remember the card is seen publicly, so include only what you are comfortable showing.

Which angle engraves best, profile or front quarter?

Profile gives the cleanest, most poster-like silhouette, while front quarter carries more attitude and depth. Both work, and busier angles are simplified to stay sharp at card size. Your mockup settles it before we cut.

Do manufacturer logos appear on the cards?

Rights-restricted marks are flagged up front, and our team suggests an alternative that keeps the character of the design. The silhouette usually carries the recognition anyway. The approved mockup is exactly what gets engraved.

Is it safe to mail you my card?

Yes. Lion Card is PCI compliant, BBB A+ accredited, and we guarantee a safe process or your money back. Freeze your card before mailing, and we never ask for your PIN or passwords.
