Default Raised Chrome Letters for Engine Covers?

Has anyone seen a source for raised chrome lettering for the Rail covers?

Real metal preferred (vs plastic). I saw some thin ones on SS Inserts, but did not look like they carried the 5.7 and bars for the bottom sections. Also was hoping for something thicker - maybe 1/8"?

May have to make some custom if nobody has any?

I haven't seen metal and have looked all over, but have seen plastic mirrored ones that were raised up. In fact, I just had a set I gave away because I wanted the flush mount ones. Ordered them thinking they were flush mount. I know two places that sell the raised mirror ones. One is a the corvette forum store a vendor on the left side and also the site below has them.

I got a real nice set mirror set from RPI Designs. They are here on the forum. They are the plastic stick on set. They sent them when I got my body color fuel rail covers. They look great and they we were real easy to put on.
