They are not on our list of items to make. 6 Liter Eater makes them, they look like good products.

I actually kinda feel bad for the other companies now.. Quality prolly couldn't get better, and the prices certainly couldn't.. especially with all the customization possibilities. Crazy ****. GM needs to hurry the hell up.

Yeah you'd think it would be in GM's interest to get their part done. Doesn't that mean they get royalty fees or something?

Ok ... not sure if its been said yet or not so I apologize in advance. Those sweet nose badges with the red white and blue ... They would look sick with LTX or LSX instead of SS or Z28 etc ... I think that would def look sweet I can try to make a photochop if anyone is confused!

Today's item:

ZR1 Style WS7 emblem. This piece shown has a green insert. It's the first time I've shown green.

Well, the nature of being in business is to be the best, and be fair. If you're not the fair, customers will go elsewhere. We believe we have the absolute best products at the best prices, so to us, it just makes good business sense.

We offer amazing customization. GM is coming along smoothly. GM doesn't even have a hand in this process until the last minute, which is right now. GM has a licensing broker that handles everything up until the finalization process.

The fact is, we make some money at our prices on everything we sell. We make a profit, and you guys get a great part for a great price. We both win. If you want to pay me more, you can, and I won't argue with you . If you take that into account along with what the competition charges, and has charged in the past, their prices become a little bit unjustified for the material they use (in my opinion).

The Last Of The Breed Badges were approved for us to make. In fact every part we supplied was approved. The GM contract arrived here by email on Friday, but it had a few minor errors like our business address, and a few others. Unfortunately it was after business hours when I found them, and I can do nothing until Monday morning.
Hopefully these are changes that can be made very quickly, and we get the contract back this week. We will continue to post new items for you guys until then.
I also feel they have taken some time with this. However, this process goes through a lot of people, and when you add people you add time. It's hard for me to completely explain, but we are sitting on the doorstep of selling these parts to all of you guys.
We are very anxious, just as you are. We have the website ready, the office is ready, our material suppliers are ready, and you are ready. I feel like we ran a 10 mile marathon, and we have 6 more steps to cross the finish line.

Yea, I guess you have a point. We started this many months ago. Either way, we are at the end of it. I actually talked to another GM seller. He told me it took him 8 1/2 months to get his contract.
I think it all depends on how many items you want to sell, and we have a lot.

We did make sure that we are able to add new pieces as we go. You guys will probably see new emblems come out in batches, a few times a year.

If they had my address right on the contract, we would probably be selling them now.
