P.S. You might want to clear coat it to seal the sticker from moisture!!

Nice work 
Any chance you might know where I could get a blank reflective black plate? I've been wanting to make my own for awhile but was thinking of a reflective black plate (like a knock off black chrome) with either an MY or a silver reflective C5 flag. Any ideas where to look?

You did a great job, De Vette! Looks very 
I made mine pretty much the same way. I liked the black background better than the chrome. I used the C5 Emblem on mine but once in a while I'll try out Ideas with the Jakes Skull. I own a sign shop so it's a little easier for me.

I'm doing the same thing!
I bought a piece of thin stainless at the hardware store and scored it with a mat knife then snapped it (be careful). I also rounded the corners with a dremel then turned the surface in the drill press with a 3/4" wire brush. I need to order the black "Jakes" yet.

Cool!
I'm working on a "lighted" Jake Plate myself.
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...?
