Thanks for the effort.
I'd say that under $40, I'd be in for a set, as long as a perfect match to the Tension Blue fender vinyl. I know the corvettemods overlays come with the full overlay to cover both the "GRAND" and "SPORT" lines. Personally, I only want to cover the bottom "SPORT" line that is currently red.

I'd probably purchase one, even though my sills are covered in XPel. At some point I may have to pull that up and I would have the decal ready to go.
For the sill plates, I would definitely recommend anyone doing it to cover it with XPel or something similar after, that's a high traffic area....
With shipping the CorvetteMods one was just under $25. Set it up with just the word SPORT as mentioned, getting it to my door for $40 would seem reasonable.

I should have the proof back in the next day or two. Once I get that, I can approve them to stitch out a sample. When I get that I'll go back down there to their showroom, I want to look a little closer at garments to try and suggest a few for folks and get some rough pricing from them. With Thanksgiving this week I'm guessing it could wrap into next week. I was hoping to get things done more quickly as I'm thinking some may want to get stuff in by Christmas but I'm not optimistic for that! Will keep folks updated as stuff comes in!

Assuming the quality is as good (I don't suspect otherwise, I've used this company before) you should be able to get that....

When I did the embroidery on the hats, I bought two of them. One charcoal and the other light blue to compliment the tension Blue interior.
I have worn the charcoal hat, but not the light blue one. It is new and never been worn. I know Mountainears is doing something as well, but if anyone is interested in this hat, PM me. I want $30 shipped.

They sent me an email with a sample of the embroidery. Anyone have any concerns / comments? Looks pretty darn good to me :-)
I'm trying to get some pricing info on a few items to give people an idea and work out the logistics of how we do this. Once I do that I'll be contacting folks directly I guess that have expressed interest in this.

I'll be PM'ing folks probably later next week that showed interest with more details when I get them. Turns out this was really a "virtual" proof, they will stitch it out for real early next week.

They told me pocket size on shirts is usually 5â€. So we tried to keep it just under that so it would fit nicely above a pocket.
Try printing it out life size so you can see what it looks like.
They would all be stitched the same size or there is another setup charge. So if it was shrunk down it would be the same size for all.

Hi - I think it looks great!! As I said in the PM, wonder if it would look better with “Collector Edition” in the same silver color as “Grand”? Wonder what folks on the forum think - better or worse? I would also be interested in the charcoal hat, long tee, polo and maybe a henley?

Confirmed already (they're responsive), they can mix the colors up....so people could choose which way they like better :-)

Two of my shirts has a 4-inch pocket. As long as it looks proportion then it should be fine.
I like the silver on the word Collector Edition better. I think it has better contrast. I'm ready.

ANYTHING branded as "Collectors Edition" never is. Anyone who put out extra $$$ for the CE for any reason other than they love Smurf Blue vinyl, will be gravely disappointed when they try to sell it.

That was kind of you to drop by the thread devoted to the CE just to crap on our cars and show us the error of our ways. Appreciate the hot take.

My apologies! Didn't realize you're only permitted to drop by threads that only pertain to your specific vehicle. And FYI...The point I was attempting to make (key word being "attempting") is that anyone who shells out money for something....anything...because it's labeled "Collectors Edition" or "Limited Edition" thinking it's going to have added value, is not very wise. Wasn't trying to crap on your cars. The GS is a great car! And lots of people like Smurfs

Why would we be gravely disappointed? I infer from your comment that you believe we will sell our CE for less money than we purchased.
I agree with you, that is my expectation.
Most of us purchased the CE because we liked it!
Added bonus, we have our own sticky on the forum, that is worth my $4,995 alone. But we also get the heritage package, full length stripes, carbon fiber interior, black wheels and a number plaque.
The smurf reference is outstanding, I never put the two together but now I have a personalized licence plate idea.
