OK, thanks, but I think I recall seeing them for less than that, maybe $115-$125 for the pair? I guess I will call one of the Forum Vendors and ask about composition.

Does anyone have a paint code or know of a touch up pen for the Satin Black Cup Wheels? One of mine has a nick.

They are plastic. Factory is RED only
Forum vendors have them Red,Black, Chrome. Also on Ebay from time to time

There are good ones and bad ones. Good ones are raised with Chrome plating and painted inserts Look just like factory, bad ones are thick cut decals.

OK, so where did you get your black 427 hood emblems, they look great.

No way, $15 each (?) they look great! How is the quality? And how did you know where to put them, did they come with the template?

No they do not come with instructions. $150 buys you that feature. NO I am not affiliated with the Ebay seller. I searched for a long time looking to color my factory Red emblems black, and stumbled across these, After spending a lot of money on junk!

DDanno thanks for the info, I am going to roll the dice and order a set; if no good I will return them. My issue is I want the black inserts, I don't want red.

Default Emblems

DDanno...looks amazing...especially on the raised hood. Any one know the factory distance from the windshield side of the hood? Just ordered a pair of the black ones. Don't really want to pay $150 for the instructions...

If you put them Approximately 4 3/4" from the edge of the hood to the rear of the emblem and centered in the rise of the hood you will be close to the template.

You are kidding about not being able to pick which ones are factory, right? On the black inserts it appears that the top of the 27 is sloping down on the right and the bottom of the 7 isn't even with the bottom of the 2 making it look the 7 is bent. The black inserts don't look near as nice as the factory red as far as quality IMO.

Speartech, any news on the roof stickers? I was pumping gas today looking at mine wondering what the meaning was on them.

Default 2011 Jetstream Blue Z07

I have not seen a post yet of Jetstream Blue. In 2011, there were only 28 Z06's in Jetstream Blue and a small fraction of those with the Z07. Mine is a loaded 3LZ and also had the CFZ option which makes this pretty unique.
