Never seen one, but maybe??? It would be inset just like the one on the rear bumper but a lot smaller. Along the lines of what GM used to do on many of their cars. They did it on the early 90's Z24 cars.

It looks like there is just a recess for the LT5 emblem to mount inside of. What I plan is the Script logo inset as the design. His car is vey nice though.

What I was asking if you had the same basic idea planed, and it seems you do. I think it would look nice but generally be overlooked by most people.

Sorry Kevin. You're probably right. I like the subtle things that some people overlook but eventually say, "ah, ha", as long as it's not too busy. You can do too much. I just have a lot of thoughts right now and won't know exactly what I'm going to finalize until I'm thick into it.

the problem is the rockers are just so low on these cars that most people don't really see them unless they really get down to look. I like the idea quite a bit

I was thinking about placing the logo on the bottom front corner of the lower door piece. Not as low.

Almost a coin toss, but after seeing Jim Mac's 49th Street rockers, which has the smaller ZR-1 logo recessed on the rocker, near the corner of the door panel, I reeeeeaaaaly like it (the script) there. At that spot, and coupled with the 2/3 or 3/4 size script, it doesn't cross the line (IMO) as being too much, but doesn't snatch your eye away from the rest of the car - at least not initially (takes a couple seconds before those rocker knock your eyes out!)

And, now that I think about it, I want to say his script had some blue in it (trying to remember zackly). It was either the lettering, or maybe the script was outlined, or maybe the background, but it really worked well. In any case, against the fabulous 92 red paint, it looks perfect (to me). (Every time I see his car, it stuns me; a frigging gorgeous car!

Received the Callaway kit today. If I would have paid $9500 for a kit from them, I'd have to send it back. The quality of this unit is extremely poor. I really expected more from the Callaway brand.

It's a good thing I'm making molds for my modified pieces. No problem though. It'll be a good platform for a ZR-1 kit.
