Dash plaque
I was browsing thru Ebay and saw this auction for dash plaques. 
I just emailed them with the question of duplicating the C5 Z06 logo/emblem/badge . The only other decent dash plaque i've seen was $40http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/corz06facrat.html

a 2nd look..................
Ok, like most of use I'm always looking for something a bit different , something that will stand out , yet is not Bling. Such as this Z06 spec /dash plate.
I wrote the company with a suggestion for this Z06 dash spec plate. The owner wrote back and was open to the idea ( particulary when I mentioned that I have a bunch of friends on the Corvette Forum that may be interested as well.
Ok , the owner , Howard said there was no problem with GM trade mark/ logo infringements. One issue down.
Howard also suggested that the design , which we are working on incorporate your VIN number. Now that ,I think would make it really indivdual and unique. I haven't seen anyone else do that. Or add your name.
We are now talking about layout and maybe the Z06 will be a black backround , similar to this:[IMG]

Who has some input as to dimensions, black backround or brushed, polished ,ect., what should be on the dash plate? This is another generic plate he does:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Musta...QQcmdZViewItem

Not going to happen...........
Just got another reply from the vendor (1:15 Am PST) and what he does is different than what I wanted. He does basicly a silk screen or printing onto the prep aluminum plaque. I want something more substancial.
The AfterThoughts dash plaque is molded or stamped? I haven't seen one in person, any one know?
I'm going to follow up .

I'm back talking to the dash plaque vendor........
I have done some further reasearch to fine a vendor to give me what I want. I contacted a laser company in Texas but they could not do the Z06 logo because of trade mark infringements. So I went back to this vendor; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...221215489&rd=1
What he needs is a jpeg photo of the Z06 logo. I supplied what I thought were good ones: [IMG][/IMG][IMG]
[/IMG] And this one minus the Yellow[IMG]
[/IMG] Then he sent me back this one as a result:[IMG]
[/IMG]
So there we are at the moment trying to get the Z06 logo correct. Anyone with a better jpeg Z06 logo please post or send to my email address ( see profile).
Opinions please as to which you like best , so far! With or without the 405 hp also.
