Default Custom C4 Data Plate

Hey guys...I wanted to share a positive experience and give credit where its due. I had been searching on and off for a couple years now about trying to find someone who could make a custom data plate for my 96. Sure, all the major part suppliers have the generic ones, but I wanted something more specific. Fortunately I came across Jim Koepsell at www.quality-printing.net. I like the original style just fine, just wanted it to be tweaked a little to fit my needs. Same dimensions as original plates. Sorry for the dark picture. The bowtie and "G" and "S" from "Grand Sport" are orange to match the exterior color of the car. The data plate came in yesterday and it was absolutely perfect! Definitely a positive experience and just wanted to give him a shout out! Thanks!

Does that thing rev up to 8K RPM? How do you have 473 HP with only 358 torque?

That's nice, I've thought about doing something like that for mine. Don't know if I would have put the GS on though for a base LT4 car?

Yea, well it’s been somewhat incorporated with the rest of the car.
