Re: What do you think of this dashplate? A couple of questions.
Instead of comp. ration, could you put top speed? That would look cool and means more to the average person gauking at the interior than comp ratio. Also, the spacing on the 5.7 Liter LS1...can the be put a little closer, it just looks a little funny, like something's missing. Looks GREAT though, keep us updated as to when they will be available.

PS - If you don't make these changes for all, can you make them for me? I don't know how easy/hard that is to change.

"IF" you did anything, maybe just adding "V8" after "LS1" would be enough to close the gap without crowding it. Just a thought.
It's still excellent work!

Re: What do you think of this dashplate? As Mark's guinea pig. I have to say this plaque looks ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! I thought the SLP "Camaro SS" plaque was nice, but WOW!! When Mark first produced the "Paper Version" of the plaque, and stuck it in my SS I was sold on the paper one! Now the real prototype, is fantastic! The surface is brushed metal, with all the engine info engraved into it. The emblem is high gloss, and really shows off great on the dash. This is another top notch item to personallise your car.
Thanks, Mark - ANOTHER awesome idea! <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

If you were to make one for us Firebird owners, the best place to mount it would be just to the left of the passenger side vent port.
Right now I have an SLP chrome emblem mounted in that spot on my car (but would replace it with one of those dash plates if you make them for 'Birds too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ).
You can see what I mean by placement by clicking the link on my sig to view a pic of where I put the SLP emblem on my interior <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
Anyway, it looks great !

P.S.: I just put a 20 in the mail for you for another set of caliper decals - just a heads up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
