There is a picture right above you with both an office telephone number and a personal cell phone number shown on his business card.

Yeah, it took me a couple of weeks to get an answer back over email. You have to stay persistent. Once we made contact, I had my emblems in less than 2 weeks.

Am I the only one that wants to keep a somewhat sleeper look with stock badges?

JP and Matt, good looking badges for sure. Can't wait to see both cars in May.

my car is an 02 and I didn't really like the 405hp on it... I almost opted for the 01 z06 badge until I found Austins badges... I figured what the heck, in all honesty I'm not really hiding that much and you can definitely tell the car isn't stock so it isn't really that sleeper

True, those Z06 405hp emblems do look pretty wack. Especially if you've done some upgrades to your car. I'm not hiding anything on mine either i just think it's fun to surprise people on the highway .

Guys, you can't see the digits under the Z06 from more than 3 feet away. They are identical to the OEM badges, and remain completely sleeper until you step right up to the car.

The only reason I shied away from dyno numbers, is due to the possibility of them changing w/ mods. Like if at some point I went to E85 (not that I ever will), HP could jump 20+ wheel.

Maxx, are you running in the Runway Rivalry on the Sunday the week of the Lone Star Classic? It'd be great if you are. Matt and I will be. Paid in full Friday

Even a Blind, deaf person could tell your car is not a sleeper....
Badge, no badge, Cubic inch, HP... really doesn't matter.... Like JP said... you really can't see it from more than a few feet away...

Maybe when it's off with the hood down sure.

Those badges do look bad *** though, i think i saw some somewhere with the Jake skull and the "z06" print.
