So… please go easy on me. Decided to buy a 3D printer and see what I could figure out. After setup of my printer, this is my first ever 3D print: Yes I know it’s red. I want to learn how to print before I start using my black PLA. Obviously I have some details I still need to workout, but I...

For anyone that finds this of interest: Spoke with my parts department manager about this. GM outsources the data plates to a third party. They confirmed that the only way they would sell it is by matching your car's VIN to prove it had that plate to begin with. Said they would be willing to...

Here is a slightly better file. Also, i am still working on the final revision so it may be a few more days

I'm not a lawyer (my wife is, though), but I'm pretty sure if I were to turn a profit off this GM could come after me with a cease and desist for using their logo's without permission. I am working to try and make it a more robust proof that would be useable. Otherwise, feel free to do with it...

Good point, i tried to make it look a little less happy. I'll buy your rights for $0.01?

I want to commemorate my Goat Rodeo experience and this amazing car with a cool custom emblem. Thought on this as a concept? Not sure how to get it produced (CNC'd, 3D Printed, etc.) or that I am even satisfied with the design.

You gotta at least link us the visor stickers. I had these on my C7 GS and I was waiting for them for this car.

I gave the dealer an opportunity to secure the transport for me (and I went with their choice). But, i had personally worked with the following as my default/backup plan: Certified Auto Shippers, LLC PO Box 66383 Portland, OR. 97290 Phone: 503-985-6161 email Kathy (she is great to work...

People don't buy Gen1 Vipers because they made 400 hp stock. They buy them because they were a dying breed and what the car meant to enthusiast culture. No computer driver assists, 6 speed, and a NA V10. I think the 5BW with 6M is bound for a similar destiny (as mentioned with the manual wagon...

I've also purchased a custom carbon fiber steering wheel, with an electric blue top center stripe to match. I'm waiting for my car to be delivered. The wheel got to me back in October when my EDD was Halloween haha. I was looking for ways to get the data plate to transfer to that wheel, too.

I can honestly say that i have no interest in doing business with any of the Seattle area dealers (to include Portland area). All seemed to be extremely unknowledgeable and wanted crazy ADMs. I ended up finding a great dealer in SC that was ordering at MSRP. Paying roughly $2500 for enclosed...

Trophy shop is a good idea. I'm weird and frame my window stickers and keep license plates. I'm trying to make something cool for my car and wanted something similar to what the collector series owners got.

Does anyone have any idea how I could go about getting another steering wheel data plate? I know the collector series memorabilia frames had what looks to be a spare one framed, for those who got that privilege. I'm probably chasing something unattainable, but never hurts to ask. Even if someone...

From the guy's FB page it looks like he is a machine shop in STL area. What I am interested to know is whether the "BLACWING" letters are CNC'd all the way out (i.e. if you had a blue car, are the letters now going to be blue) or are they actually white?

What did you use to mold the foam insert around the keys?

Does it pl Does it play well with the third pedal?

Seeing your weather keeps me hopeful for the summer. I forgot how it feels to have rain forecasted every day for weeks on end... What a perfect time to take delivery of my Blackwing!

Not that i trust GMAuthority[less], but it makes specific point to note that the Blackwing will not receive any refresh.

Now that you've had a couple more months, are these still a good option? would you consider putting these in your 5BW or do you use a different option there?
