Default chrome bird decal

Does anyone know where to get the chrome overlay for the bird that goes on the license plate cover?

If you're referring to cover on the front bumper, Emblem Pros (sponsor) makes a stainless steel piece and one with stainless steel edges and black etching in the center which is what I just got....very high quality stuff! Hope that helps

Exactly what I'm looking for, saw it on a car I was gonna buy and decided I want it for the one I ended up buying. Did you get silver or the reflective silver?
Not to jack the thread, sorry to OP. Figure all information will help us both!

You dont want to get a chrome decal, cleaning them will cause surface scratches that ruin the look.
You are definitely better off goin with the steel overlays.

I have put at least 6 decals on my front bird, they don't last, the points ALWAYS pull up. If your going to seal it with clear, different story. And fwiw my car is garaged 99% of the time, might be driven 12 tiems a year max. Go w/the Stainless or the other version emblempros sell.

I've had my plate bird on my car for about 6 or 7 years now with out any problems. It all depends on the quality of cut on the bird feathers and if the tips were rounded enough.

I think you might be on to something w/that rounded point comment, all of the ones that failed over time were due to the pointed tips, fwiw.

Yeah I bought a good one years ago and just brought it to them to duplicate. They have it on file and can cut it in any color they have in shop.
