Default Z06 Engine Data Plate?

Does anyone make a Z06 engine data plate? I've seen these for the FRC, but nothing for the Z06. This seems to be a missing touch in the C5 from my C3

Default data plaque

Since the forum 'upgrade' I've had nothing but problems with posting images and links. http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotor...spagenameZWDVW http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotor...4506.m20.l1116 These links won't post either. Without the features , its like tying my hands and expecting me to talk LOL , I hate this upgrade change. I suppose I'll find another Vette forum to converse at.

The “oval ends” of the auction product match the ashtray lid and looks very aftermarket IMHO. The rectangular product above (when placed on the console as shown) looks more like the factory plate used on the C3’s. 40 bucks is pretty spendy though!

That exactly my take. Honestly, I'm finding myself really struggling to add the RIGHT custom touches to my bone-stock Z06...I'm finding the car to be pretty close to perfect as-is

Yes, it's hard to mod perfection, you could always paint your car Quicksilver.

Your car appears to be perferct, leave it alone. If it happens to have the mod-red interior then it is perfect!

Did I mention that I also have a MY 03Z? (With mod-red interior.)

Hey thanks QSZ! I hate it when upgrades come across and i'm stuck till the wife ( the computer whiz) get round to helping me out.

Back before June , before my dad died , I was working with several companies , different types of companies i.e. laser, printing, etching, ect. to design a engine spec plaque. One for the engine compartment and one for the interior dash/ console.

I could not get a Z06 logo to look correct. I wanted something that Zorra would have designed. I haven't seen the right one , but like several features from existing engine plaques. Having the VIN number , HP, torque, compression ratio are a must. Owner's name? I don't know.

The material ; aluminum or SST. Z06 logo in color, red 'Z' and blk numbers. Anyway , always looking to improve a design.

Always check before you engrave, it's "Zora".
