Born on Date & plate for LS1 engine
I have seen many cars with the plate bolted to the front of the head with their car # of how many built that year. How do I find this info and purchase this bolt on plate. Thanks

You could always fab your own plate and see if a trophy shop could engrave it for you?

Does anyone know anybody that has the licensing for the GM emblems that can engrave the plates?!?
I need someone who can engrave the SS, Phoenix, Firehawk, Trans Am, etc., etc. with car numbers on these things!
I could also use someone who can anodize in the GM colors, black, white, silver, pewter, red, som, nbm, ...

I can probably have raw stainless plates made in bulk, but I'm not licensed by GM to use their logos...
I could polish/anodize/powder coat, and have a shop engrave "censored" info on them...
How much do you think they'll cost to make? What's a realistic finished price on those items?

that would be pimp **** if you had some made up.....hmmm i think that might be a high selling item on ur site, especially for the people who cant afford all the polished or carbon fiber stuff... i think eveybody deserves a stylish engine compartment.... but nothing will beat the products you have now, it would just add to the madness

I've made my own version, CAD drawing & everything, ..., & have a business who can do the laser cut for me. I just need the rest & have no where to go, ...
I was planning on making them from 1/8" thick aluminum plate, but the engraver I had lined up went out of business.
I don't know anyone who does anodizing either. (Well I do, but only black, ...)

Man, I hate to ask for anything that has the "Firehawk" emblem/lettering in script......and you probably know why Pontiac Fan!
I would only go w/anodized aluminum, and THANKS MBA

id pay 40 bucks tops for one, thats to my specs. and i think just basic should be around 30 bucks
that means if u got 20 made for 40 bucks each one cost u two dollars. add 8 to ship so 10 bucks and ur still making 20-30 on each plate. and i know ud sell a **** load
