Default Dash Plaque Customization

Did anyone order the dash plaque with your own customization and if so, what did you put on it? I understand the car has a dash plaque no matter what, just not personalized. Just curious.

Not me. I can get a very nice plaque made by www.USBrassShop.com that will say anything I want for a lot less money. I'm thinking "Binger's Magic Carpet - Hang on for Dear Life !"

I ordered the plaque with mine because I liked the looks of the dark background on the custom plaques against the black dash better than the brighter standard plaque. As for what I put on it, just my name (although I was told that you can probably put whatever you want "as long as its clean" - which of course got my wheels turning for several hours trying to think of some way to sneak something dirty through).

The base plaque is included with all models and it has the Corvette Script and the Stingray" script on it.

The BV4 personalized plaque has the C7 crossed flags to the left side and in the center says:

Built in Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA For
----------- Your Name Here ------------
VIN: 1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The R8C personalized plaque included with the museum delivery has the NCM logo to the left and in the center it says:

National Corvette Museum Delivery For
----------- Your Name Here ------------
VIN: 1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I'm doing the Measure delivery, but I really don't like the Museum plaque... do you think they will let me take the customized C7 logo one????

Quick update:

Shane from the museum emailed me today to confirm the wording on my plaque. You can have 24 characters including spaces. You can choose your capitalization options (all caps, etc) and apparently the word "for" in the first line has been eliminated.

FYI - I do not have museum delivery but it seems that the museum is handling all the plaque orders.

See - I'm in a quandary. The dealer didn't have any pictures so I didn't know exactly what I was choosing. Now after seeing the 'regular' plaque, I prefer it over the museum one as well. AND, I'm not sure its a little over the top putting my name on it. Does that scream self indulgence (although it really is?)?

I actually asked Shane if I could just get the plaque and put it elsewhere. NOPE, its put on during assembly. SO, I guess I have to go with the museum plaque (I am doing museum delivery) and am thinking of just putting 'Corvette Stingray' or 'Lisa's Stingray' on it.

Lisa, you put whatever you want (within reason, LOL). Are you naming this car? Put it there.

Built for Haywood Jablome... I can already see the vendors making overlays for 2nd owner cars depending if these plaques pop off.

The plaques can be changed quite easily.

Shane called me today as well and after talking to him I decided to go with just my name. I was considering my nickname for the car. But if I ever exchange her for a newer model I'd like to keep the plaque. Perfect for when I loose my memory...I am "an old fart" after all!

Dammit, that's much better than any of the ones I thought of
