Hey, do you have the SS396 Foil front marker bezels on your car? Do you think you could take a closeup Hi-res digital pic and e-mail it to me? I'm trying to have a sign shop make me a couple vinyl ones for my car, but I need a really good closeup of the foil to get the lettering & numbers shaped right. Thanks!

Ben Ben, Thanks for the compliment on the SS and good news on the radio, does it work? I do have foils on the car that I bought off eBay but I saved my originals. Give me your addres and I'll send you one of my original nasty dirty faded bezels complete with factory foil and you can get a perfect copy that way. The guy I bought mine from is getting the foils made in Aluminum and acquiring old bezel frames, having them rechromed and selling them for a handsome amount in his auctions. Les | ||
