Ive had an idea runnin through my head about making some emblems and wanted to see what everybody thought.The emblem insert on the left would say LOTUS the insert on the right would have a CHEVROLET BOWTIE.The early emblems,at least up to 91 were metal to getting a used set of emblems,removing the original inserts,having the emblem powder coated would be easy,it would just be a matter of putting new inserts back in the emblem.Ive been in touch with somebody that will make the new inserts,just need to come up with a design for the LOTUS SIDE.Id like to see if the entire Lotus design would fit,if not it would just say LOTUS.If this works out I think about year and number car under the BOWTIE.Do we have any computer guy here on the site that could whip up something that I can get some ideas over to the guy that will make the inserts,Id do it but wouldnt have a clue where to start,Thanks.

I think I saw something like that on CF. The guy had done a nice job. http://forums.c*************.com/c4-zr-1-discussion/2994764-made-custom-corvette-spec-plates.html

I like it. I'd like to see it with a ZR-1 on the right side.

Great idea, but don"t give up. Maybe you can design it better and nicer.
With ideas from the gang(ZOO) I bet it could be great, There"s a lot of
good talent here...jimmy
