Can't beat a deal like that! Usually they come "raw" and you go get them painted. There is at least one now on fleabay....

Jons, what a nice gesture, i wanted to clarify, i wanted a front cover that has
ZR1 on it rather than corvette. If you have one, i have a little trade i will send you a goody and pay for you're shipping...let me know, thanks

I got mine from this guy about a month ago. My brother-in-law owns a body shop so he painted mine white for me. He had to re-inforce the screws holes 'cause they were very weak spots. A little rough on the ZR-1 indents but he took care of that also. Yes, $20.00 was a lot but when it's the only game in town you have to play by their rules :cry:

It was a member here or on the corvetteforum that was making these I wonder if someone just copied his design and is now selling them?

Last time I spoke to the Ebay guy a few years back he said he purchased the molds from a guy who didnt want to make them any more. I was one of the first to buy from this new lot again amolost 3 years ago. Still havent had it painted yet although. Who knows :hello:

[-=Jeff=-]

I bought one for the guy on eBay, I rattle canned it looks good.. although the ZR-1 I hand did in red, and is not the best up close

[PhillipsLT5]

Looks like same mold, I had 1 from from the guy in Florida, cracked it, GC knows that story, got a new one from Ebay, looks the same, pretty rough, needs work before being painted, also Stock is flexible, Ebay is hard non flexing, having the new one painted now, stock 1 fits better, but ebay is OK, looks better

Not the only game in town any longer. I just bought the last one advertized. I'll make a new mold and tidy up the ZR1 indention prior to making the new mold. I'll also make sure the tabs are thicker on each unit.
No more $20 shipping either.

How about me making one that has the ZR1 script like the script in the ZR1 Net Registry logo? I think I can do that with a little CNC work and then make a new mold for that one too.

Out of polyurethane like the original "Corvette" license plate filler or fiberglass ? Poly hell I wait for one of yours ;)

Make one like the Registry logo and I will buy one without a doubt. Then get the decals from the registry to fit in the recess and i would be all set

[GrayZ]

blue flame, do you have a time table on doin these plates, cause if you
do what you suggested, i'm in for one, black please, with red lettering and
i'd like a pair of fuzzy dice,.......and a puppy, and .... a new ZR1....:mrgreen:

[Blue Flame Restorations]

The original poly type is injection molded. I can actually cast these out of plastic resin and they would be fine. It will take a little time to get things done but it will be a nice piece. I like what I call the "script" logo. I will make these for sure.:thumbsup:

[RUSSELL]

Shoot been looking at one those ebay ones but if your goiung to make some put me down for 2. One for the Z and one to hang on the wall to admire.

[Blue Flame Restorations]

This will probably take me about 8-10 weeks to make them.

[Aurora40]

If you were going to start with something as a mold, then change the indented logo, you might start with the factory plate. The "ZR-1" one is bigger and does not fit all that well compared to the factory "CORVETTE" plate.

It would be cool to have it in plastic vs fiberglass, though.

[GOLDCYLON]

I'm in, how many do you need to start a run?

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Making the pattern for the mold will not be hard to do. After it's made, I'll have it CNC'd with the ZR1 script and make the mold at that point.

Once I have made the first good part, I'll start a thread and show pictures.

Brett!

[Paul Workman]

Is there a difference between plate covers for the 90 vs. the newer style front bumper clip??

I definitely want one - with the new script would be poifecto!

P.

[Blue Flame Restorations]

The 90 is a stand alone cover due to the bumper contour change in 91. I'll have to make a mold for each style.

Do you need an OEM 90 one for a template?

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Do you need an OEM 90 one for a template?

Thanks, but I do have one already.

The templates will be cast from aluminum and then CNC'd with the ZR1 script. One will be made for 1990 and the other for 1991-1995. At that point, molds will be made from each one and the parts will be cast from plastic resin, thicker around the mounting tabs for strength.

[GOLDCYLON]

[VetteMed]

I'm in for a 91+ !

[1989ZR1#74]

I'm going to pursue this as quickly as possible. I am also finishing up two 53's at the moment as well. One goes for judging in May and the other in June, so I'm a little under the gun at the moment.

excuses! those 53s have 25% less pistons, 20 less valves, 6 less volts and only half as many radio bands. SHould be able to do those in a day or two...

Man, I wish it was that simple!!!!!!!! Each one of these things has it's own personality. Some are even evil when it comes to those simple mechanicals that want to fight you every step of the way.:redface:

Scott,

Thanks, I must suck at Ebay searches because I could not find it. I'll run it by the owner and notice he only ships to upper 48. If he is any kind of supporter of veterans, maybe I can get shipped to my FPOaddress in Japan as it is same as shipping stateside. Wow, $20 shipping and it fits in a flat rate box anywhere in US.

[Blue Flame Restorations]

I'd like to have some done for the Gathering in May but I'm just too busy trying to get my 53 back together for a buyer and also complete the cosmectics on the 88 Prototype in time for the Gathering.

VERY busy at the moment. :neutral:

i got my DIC cover from one of the big parts houses.

[GOLDCYLON]

The ZR-1 DIC covers are NLA. Last one I saw here was picked up from another member

[Halinmontana]

Regarding the information dash cover, I am looking for a transparent one with ZR1 label.

Best idea would be to post up want you are looking for in the WTB / For Sale section. Is the front license plate that WE GONE posted the one you are looking for in the front

[We Gone]

If the plate is the one you are looking for maybe someone like Brett (Blue Flame Restorations) will do them if there is enough interest. I have one of each 90 & 91 up style.

Thanks to all of you. The link was what I was looking for and please put me down for one of the front ZR1 license plate covers if they become available.

[JimZRyd]

I picked one up off EBay a few months back. Think there were a few more available.

[Z51JEFF]

I want one for a 91 if anybody happens to see one out there.

[Blue Flame Restorations]

I've been doing a lot of fiberglass work lately. I'll have a 91-95 mold made by the weekend. I do not have a 90 model for a mold.

Ultimately, I'd like to just have them vacuum molded with the Forced Air covers. I'll know about both projects this next week.

ZR-1 License Covers will be $85 each shipped. I'll post a sample when made.

I'd be interested on how you get around not running a front plate In Illinois....Because they don't play that down here at least. I'd love a front plate cover but don't want to get pulled over every time I drive it.

[owwdee]

I would also be interested in a 91-95 filler.

Colorado is one of the many states that require front plates. In my <1,000 miles/year I have not been pulled over in 4 years for not having a front plate. My thought was that you?ll get stopped for another infraction (like speeding) and they?ll add on not having a front plate to your ticket.

in the 27 years I have owned C4s I never had a front Plate. I got pulled over once in my 89 for window tint (before it was legal and was way dark anyway), along with no front plate.. it was a Trooper on the on ramp from I-39 S to I-88 E. No ticket and I forget if it was a warning ticket or verbal. (I played dumb)

Otherwise no issues so far

In MD a front plate is required and they will pull you over in a second.
