Default Door Sill

Hey guys, I'm looking to find a stainless steel door sill with either camaro or chevrolet etched into it. I've contacted the two obvious sponsors on here and both are no go's. If anyone knows of something shoot me a pm please.

Thanks in advance.

As you know we don't etch trademarked logos but we have no problem etching logos you come up with yourself, car nicknames in various fonts, LS1 5.7L, etc. If you want, I can post up a few examples of recent customers? http://store.specializedstainless.co.../Detail?no=206

If you're absolutely set on Camaro or Chevrolet, the best I can do for you is a couple of GM licensed fully customizable emblems you would have to stick to the sills. http://store.specializedstainless.co...2002%3AEmblems

I email a lot of people, but I am sure we already told you this before. However I will explain it here for all to see.

We can do this by cutting the Camaro letters shapes out of the sills. Then etching seperate stainless Camaro letters, and inserting these into the empty positions on the sill.
What you end up with is a flat etched sill. With whatever letters you want, Even if they are GM logos. We insert things into emblems all the time.
Here is the financial situation, you have the sill price, added to the letters that will be etched price, as well as the fact that now we have to remove the protective plastic, and make sure these are very well protected on the way to you. Do you want to really have this done? This will come down to the cost at the end of negotiations, not whether we can do it or not.
This is your only option for what you are asking, if this does not interest you, or if you really are stuck on a one piece sill, then we cannot help you. It is very doable.

Thanks, Roger

Ok, I think I see the problem here. This picture you show is not etching. This is actually milled out of a billet piece of ALUMINUM. You can see the tooling marks. This is not stainless steel.
What you are asking for is a billet cut door sill. We do not do that, but it would be expensive for anyone to do so.
I thought I had an answer for your etching problem, but this is something different.

I'm actually looking for etching, that pic was just the closest example of what I'm looking for. I don't want to go broke trying to get it done however, so pm me with an estimate of what your talking about.
