Its all up to Tony (Nine Ball) I have to send him the prototypes so he can make the decision. The price is very very reasonable on these!!

If you guys really like these laser stainless pieces make sure to keep bugging Tony. If he gets enough positive feedback, he wont hesitate to have a bunch of them cut out.
And remember these can be polished too.

As promised I went out to see how long it would take to polish one of these stainless steel emblems. I spent less than 2 minutes on the Kozaks emblem. I put a little bit of Mothers on a rag and wiped BY HAND and 2 minutes later you can see your reflection in emblem.
So my conclusion is that I disagree with what dragonZ28 said. These CAN be polished within minutes by hand. If you had a buffer wheel or dremel I would bet it would take less than a minute. I can prove this on video if necessary on one of the LS1 emblems.

Like I said, it depends on many factors. First of all, if there are any scratches on the face, then it will take significantly longer. Also, Mother's is not the best way to polish stainless steel. Like I said there are several ways to make stainless reflective, but some polishing methods bring out a much better finish. Check out these finishes - I promise this can not be accomplished with Mother's products because I have tried, and the finish looks bad compared to other polishing methods. And this does not take 5 minutes.

Tony mentioned a great idea for these laser emblems. He mentioned having the "L" cut out and kept so that it can be painted. I could easily copy the same "L" and just send it with all of the emblems so that if anyone wanted to paint it they could. Then it could just be put back into the emblem when it was placed onto the car.

That's a little chop I did, DragonZ28 on here came up with his own and makes them and sells them on ebay under the name Muffinbuster, top notch work. I also photoshopped the original Z06 style WS6, WS7 and WS9 emblems that got the ball rolling as well as one of the LS1 and the LS2 emblems you'll see floating around on the boards. Here are all the Z06 Style emblem threads for anyone who is interested.

I just got the quote back from the laser guy and the prices are by far the cheapest I have seen anywhere. I have even better news. He has a machine that he can throw the emblems in that gets rid of any burn marks and completely smooths out any rough surfaces. More good news. Any of these emblems can be polished on a buffing wheel to complete mirror,chrome looking results in 5 minutes with Mothers. Dont bother arguing with the polishing part because its soo easy to polish these its rediculous.
Now its all in Tonys (Nine Ball) hands. If he likes the price then they will be up for sale. After that I can make any emblems you want for the same price. LS1, LS2, Z28, WS6, WS7, WS9, ZO6. ANYTHING of that same size!!!!!
I am also having all the "L" pieces cut out separately so they can be placed back into the emblem or left out.
If you like the way they look in post #39 then you will really like the way they look now.

Tony(Nine Ball) gave me the Ok to have these cut out so they can be purchased. The first set of emblems will be the Z-LS1. I am also shipping the cut out "L" with the emblems for those members that want to paint the "L" or whatever you want to do with it. I will get new pics when they get cut out.
