I'm in for a set. I'm not sure when I'll get around to putting them in, but don't want to miss the opportunity to have a set. I might actually take two if you're doing the full logo, might be good for a garage wall.

Are you in Corvette Owner's School or Level One? I will actually be on site March 21st afternoon but the Level One course doesn't start until March 22nd. Be good to catch up with another Canuck!

Has anyone purchased one of the front tow hook mounted licence plate holders for their GS? I see there are a number available, some say "full size", some smaller, some have a different mounting position so they don't block the camera. The boys in blue here frown on no front plate but I like the idea of being able to remove it easy for shows / autocross etc. Please let me know if you found a good one.

I got my custom airbrushed fuse box cover from Showstoppers. I did carbon flash base with carbon fiber top and my number. Turned out nice.

I just ordered a plenum cover, fuel rails, coil covers, fuse box cover, and cap set from Showstoppers. Hope to get them in about 2 weeks. Engine bay will be pretty much complete .

Also, if anyone is interested, I found a good website for custom artwork.

http://www.dannywhitfield.com/contact.html

Danny does some nice work and the prints are available from 16X20 ($80) to 30X40 ($245). He also does custom show boards and does package deals.

Yes, last three of the VIN, so yours is car 906.

Also, on the dash you should have a badge that shows the number as well, like this.

BTW, I'll get you updated in the registry, let me know the location the car will be in once you get it, currently it shows the dealer location of Edmonton.
