My C5 Jake
Had a Jake post earlier today that everyone started talking in. So here is the post of my Jakes I made today at work.
They are made out of Black Reflective Vinyl, I'm going for the whole murdered out look ( I know im far from it...
)so wanted to keep them black. But with reflective vinyl its like a stop sign, they will really light up and look metallic black when light hits them at night.
Anyways here are the pictures, and I need to get a Blank Exhaust plate so I can get one more down there on the back. =)
Can you find him?
Little Closer...
Me and Jake
Everyone loves the *** shots
My Extras
Hes a total of 4 inch's even wide, with a ratio'd higth of 4.78 (Or something) which gives you a full half a inch on both sides for that black trim.
What do you guys think?

Thanks!
I made them at my old work, I made the template today, so I can change the color and size. The Vinyl I used is good for about 4-5 years. I can also make the Perforated, which is see threw from inside and solid on the outside. Which would be neat for a whole back glass design.

Already getting a couple people talking about what they look like at night when light hits them... So this is the best I can do, pulled in the garage and hit them with a flashlight.
From light hitting the front
Light hitting the side
I hope that kind of gives you an idea!

My friend... Oh contraire. You misunderstood;
I'm a big fan of Jake!!! I am just getting overloaded and starting to look like a rolling advertisement for it.
