.....that Greg or Bob found awhile back?? Seems they were chrome/aluminum/something shiny and they go under the "SS" on the side panels and they were a little pricey (for me at least, around $50. each).

I did a search.... [Razz]

.....and also looked on the Afterthoughts and MBA sites.... [Confused]

.....who made those? and has anyone found a lower-priced version??

Thanx!! [Smile]

Thanks, Travis! Those are cool, but I finally found the ones that were posted.....on a vette site:

....and they're waaaaayyyy pricier than I remembered....$89.99 a pop!! [Eek!]

So anybody wanna make some knock-offs??

(watch me get in trouble with the Corvette Brand police.....)

Take a peek at this LS1 emblem from Eckler's. Available in Crbon Fibre or Sebring Silver.

I have the silver one under the driver's side tail light and have received morethan a few postive comments about it. (having a silver car helps!)

Best regardSS,

Elie

Thanks! Yup - that's been on the car for 3 years now. I picked it up at the Eckler's booth during the "Corvettes in Paradise' car show at the Holiday Isle Resort in Islamorada, Fla. It's a neat show that takes place every year there at the beginning of November.
It took a little lining up to get the emblem balanced with the SS/Bowtie emblem under the other tail light, but it definitely works, IMHO. I couldn't resist 'cuz it's the same colour as the car!

Best regardSS,

Elie
