I am thinking about doing something with the Jake emblem and was curious to see if anyone would be interested in these for the doors or exhaust plate etc...

If so what color would people like?

One piece of advice, should you do something like this, you need to remember Jake is a GM copyright as is the Corvette logo. So it will need to be called something else and modified so as not to infringe on the trademark/copyright laws.

The Autobot symbol in the video is AWESOME! Two questions for you. 1. Is the red and white combination the only way they come? 2. How much for a set for both doors on my Vette? Feel free to PM me or respond here.

Easiest way to modify is to add the bottom flagpole extensions (present on the C5 emblem) to the C6 emblem...can avoid any royalty issues that way...and looks way cooler IMHO....

I'd be in for it. Jake in blue or red I'd imagine would move pretty well.
