Default Update on Etching... *PICS*

First off, I know this is taking longer than I said but I've been running into some unexpected delays. The learning curve on the new plotter I got is a little steeper than I had thought it was going to be but I do have all the equipment now I can do custom lettering in any font and simple logos like SS or Z28 right now but you'll have to wait for more complex logos, etc. Tomorrow I'll get prices up and update my web site so you can order the etching w/ the covers. Let me know what you think.

I tried to capture how the etching looks in the sun light. Depending on how you look at it, the etching either stands out or is very subtle. It's really cool in my opinion

Just wondering, did you mark off the polished parts and sand blast it? Looks very good!

Are you talking about the little plate that would mount on the center console?

Thank you

Are you talking about getting "CAMARO" or "TransAm" in the respective font engrave on a stainless cover? Or are you talking about vinyl graphics?

Thank you
