I do engineering work for a sheet metal manufacturing company
I can turn that raster into vector (.DXF) so it can be laser cut if anyone is interested, I was thinking of doing the same thing with the corvette letters for the inlay in the license plate and rear bumper. they want way too much money on eBay for stuff like this, those letters should cost maybe $10 to $12 in material and 3m tape. I am going to sell the letters eBay cheaper just to teach those guys to quit ripping people off. who knows maybe that crap is made in china too.

It would be awesome just to get one cut/formed out of metal to hang up on the wall! If you could ever do something like that!

Man...that 3D laser looking thingy would really look good on that members headunit from a recent post that would allow you to attach a JPEG image for your background. Could something like that be done??

Remember?? This post.

I don't mind at all! Let me know if you'd like any specific file type.

I just wanted to make one for people to use, that was a little better than the 72 dpi lo-res ones you find on the internet.

I am going to program these for the laser tomorrow and cut a couple to see how they look in a #8 stainless mirror finish.
