Default Source for custom made console data plates?

There was a recent thread here about a car that was at a car show (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...9&forum_id=119) which also had a link to more pictures (http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...ad.php?t=81208) which included this pic of a custom made data plate, anyone know where this was sourced from? I would like a custom one for my car.

Try this place. They make custom ones for C5's and might be able to do the C3 plates as well.

I believe there is two versions, the street and the race versions. I think that the race version has 12 to 1.
