Default Ordering a dash plaque possible?

Just wondering because mine was not there when I purchased the car in '08. I already confirmed it's production number, but would like the plaque. Anyone know?

The 1999-2002 Firehawks did not have numbered dash plaques like the early 4th gens. The only "plaque" (which is more of a badge) is the one on the center console ash tray lid.

The badge can be seen in my one picture below.

Yeah that's the one I don't have. How do you get it? The previous ownder must have taken the cup holder lid out or something?

I really wonder why they would have replaced that...? SLP used to sell them but your best bet now is to watch out for one on eBay and/or someone parting out a car...

They didn't replace it, they must have just taken it out as a keepsake? Car is legit, had it checked out already. I don't just want one off of ebay though, I was hoping to find out maybe if anyone knew if SLP would replace mine? *#c007. guess I will have to call and find out for sure. Now just to find the number Unless someone knows a better way? Thanks.

If SLP does not list it on their site (which they don't) they most likely don't have the replacement badge to sell. What do you mean "find the number"?

Edit: I modified my post above to show a picture of the badge on the ash tray lid.

Sorry, I meant the telephone number, I found it now - I called it once before (to get my build number- but wanted an easier way to show people the build number if I sell the car- guess I could order the birth certificate perhaps) Either way, I guess the only way I'll know for sure is to ask them if they stock the replacement plaque. I'll likely have to show them my vin or whatever before they would even consider doing this. I just thought someone would have known this in advance in order to save me the costs of calling *(I only use a cell phone ) .

Thanks man, but I think I am going to simply call SLP.

By the way, checked out your ride on fquick Y2K, very nice indeed! Wish I could have went with the original rims but mine were so neglected and flaked and pitted that I decided to go aftermarket (sold the original chrome hawk wheels to someone on here for 200 dollars- I sort of regret this now ) I went with the american racing "killer" chrome, Dale Jr. series, since everyone has the turbo thrusts or whatever and I wanted something a little different.

I gotcha now... I hope they can help you out. If I happen to see anything I'd gladly let you know as well.

Thanks! The car originally came with the silver painted wheels (which I liked) but the previous owner curb rash'd some of them. When it came time to think about refinishing them I had found a MINT set of chrome wheels that I could not resist. I do like the look of the factory wheel though. If I wasn't going to stay "factory" I would have got some chrome Y2K thin spoke Vette wheels in a heartbeat
