Hi Richard,
Glad you got it, i was a little worried because of how long it took for
your delivery .
enjoy
Happy New Year

As I said, got mine Saturday, looks great . Question, how much effort and cost would it be to do the 91 style with a standard font but a large ZR-1 , not in the splash style... I would like the option to change it when I want less "flash".

You could take your front plate to a 3D print company and have them make
a copy of it with what ever you want on it. They make one for you, but i
don't know what they would charge to due this. Sometimes you have to make
a run of 10-20 pieces or more to keep cost down.
When i had the 1in spacers made for the LT5 it cost $150 to make them.
The front plate i had made will fit C4 corvettes 1991 thru 1996 as the front
bumpers are all the same. The front plate for the 1990 C4 corvette will fit
all front bumpers from 1984 thru 1990.

Looks great! Did you prep and paint it yourself? I found I had to 400 sand mine and add some glazing putty to even out texture from the printer, then I 2k Primed it and sanded again. It was worth it overall, I am leaving mine one color although I was temped to make the letters black.

What kind of paint did ya use?
Any problems with the color match?
Thinking of using Dupli-Color primer,
color (Bright Red, 81) and clear coat on mine?

Hi, I listed how I did it above. The plates ARE NOT ready to paint when you get them. The printer puts little groves and swirls in them. You MUST take fine glazing putty over them , sand the, down with 400 dry, then 400 wet. I used high build 2k primer, twice, wet sanding in between, then used shop primer, then did two light coats of Axalta Base, and 2 coats Axalta clear. Definitely requires good material to paint.
