Default Speed Shape plaque

I searched the forum posts and didn’t see an answer to this question.
I’m the second owner of my Z51. (Bought it from a dealer) If I bought a speed shape on eBay, is there a way thru GM or another vendor, to get a plaque with the correct VIN number on it?
Just curious, it seems like thoughts on having one are mixed between “Nice to have” and “Worthless dust collector”.
Thanks

Any trophy shop should be able to make the plaque for you given the sample plaque and the correct VIN.

I have no idea regarding anything "official" or semi, but if you come up with something you like I'm sure you can probably find someone locally or online to make it for you (if you can't). All the best.

That’s the most obvious thing to do but I didn’t know if the Corvette Stingray lettering style was copyrighted and would cause an issue if it was reproduced.
Thanks

Info from a few years ago

If you ever wondered ( like me ) where Corvette got the speed form models they provide to us as gifts. I believe I found the source in link below.
Obviously they are proprietary for corvette , and not for sale from the supplier. However, I thought it was interesting that it was this company. ( I assume)

Custom Programs - GreenLight collectibles (greenlighttoys.com)

The speed shape models are shipped out by EPI Marketing Services and from their Livonia, MI location
https://epiinc.com/

The Corvette Concierge and was able to reach a person that knew a lot about how the welcome kits got mailed out to customers.


As we know, these are fulfilled by a 3rd party and they're mailed out based on your address on file with Chevrolet apparently - not your dealer. This concierge had access to a list that shows if your welcome kit has been sent out or not. You have to provide your VIN number, verify your email address and name, etc. Once they know it's you and you are the owner of the VIN, they can tell you if your kit has been sent out or not and they also have the address information on file as well.
You can reach the Corvette Concierge in the USA between 9am and 9pm Monday through Friday by calling 1-866-424-3892

This. Should not be too difficult to get the plaque made.
