I really didn't search too hard so I don't really know. I would have liked black chrome.

Sounds Sweet

I have a question to the company that "owns" Jake; if they are reading this. How do they feel about us copying Jake and better yet, how do they feel if we market what we make? Copyright infringement...?
I actually purchased these from an authorized dealer, so I don't think this is a problem in this particular situation.

Looked around and could find them in yellow. I didn't consider it in the same league as putting Z06 badges on my Vert


Thanks for all the kind words. I'm considering lighting it a LED. Haven't decided.

Great work. I did something similar. But instead of taking the sticker approach, I went to work with a roll of tape and a stencil. I should have used a sticker. Much easier.

Cheap plate, a couple cans of paint - all done!
