Default What does everyone think about these...?

Just curious, we are looking at getting these from a company that does them for National Corvette Museum...











They are made of SS or High Polish Metal and are coated with a clear coat. They come in 15 or 36 inch and can be desk mount (on a stand) like in the picture, or wall mounted. (not pictured)

What do you think???

Peace
Chip

Chip,
The emblems look very nice. The vehicle profile views well, that's another matter. It seems like they attempt to capture too much detail and in so doing don't come off so well.
JMHO,
Robert

There's a long list of other corvette stuff I'd spend my money on first.

But that's just me. i'm not really into the ornamental/decor stuff.

You asked, so I'll tell you. Fugly.

But if Charlie Brown drove a Corvette, that's probably what it would look like.
