UPDATE... I wasnt quite sure how to have the IROC ones done because of the multiple lines through the lettering. They did a prototype with no lines cut through them and they lloked REAL funny. I am having them try to laser etch the lines on the lettering with black but they told me that the lines wont be razor sharp. From 5 feet away you cant tell but up close you can and that bothers me. I want these to turn out as perfect as the Z28 ones. I may just go ahead and do them like they are suppose to be done with the multiple lines cut through them, because with the 3M adhesive tapes color, it is dark enough to not show through, BUT if you car's color is other than black, then you WILL be able to see it, unless you paint the pockets that the emblems sit in, black so you have a factory look. AND yes they do fit in the factory locations. I should have more info in the next week or two when they spit out the new ones.

The first prototype was cut out of scratch pieces. I will have them cut one set out of the actual project specified stainless then post a pic.
