I still would have liked the superimposition of the GXP logo (as it is on the car) on a black background. Similar to these:



There are a few things I'd change though:

I'd like it for them to get the kerning on the numbers ("303," "323," and "5.3") a little better, i.e. tighter spacing. Also, the build date should have matched (in style) the engine numbers. "LS4" isn't quite the LS2/LS3 font (oh well). And finally (at least for me), "LITER"/"LITRE."

What was the damage again?

Lol at that price, I think I'd want to get in touch with them to get it right.

Maybe we could entice them into a group buy for up GXP owners. Maybe ~$50-$60 each? Just throwing a number out there...
