Cost me $60 bucks, but brand new, still in the GM parts bag isn't too bad I guess!! Just gotta clean it up & spray a coat of gloss black on it, and I'm good to go!!
Also, anyone know where to get some colored vinyl inlays for the letters?? I saw one on here, black with silver letters and it looked sharp. I'm thinking either red or silver.....

I would say you overpaid... considering they're a dime a dozen here in the junk yards.... but still a nice edition
heres what I'm talking about, I think this is "OG NICK's" cav.......

that sounds cool, but more work than I'm looking for...

I prob did, a buddy of mine picked one up for $40. And I didn't find any at my local junkyard. Oh well, I've been wanting one since I got the car, and when I found this I figured why not splurge a little
lol

dime a dozen at the junk yard?!
i think not...
the dealerships throw them away as soon as the cars come in, so ton of them got tossed. the only ones they dont are vettes. SOMETIMES a they will throw them in the glove box though....
they are in the classifieds every once n awhile, so just keep an eye out. i paid likke $45 for mine brand new from gm, but i get a discount.
98zragtop, good job man, it changes the look of the front so much, ESPECIALLY on a black car, makes it look 10x better IMO.
personally, i collect them. i have white (on the car), manta green, red and blue, and the black one i got lucky with that came on my 97 when i bought it.
thatll really look good when its installed
but DAMN....! $60 is a hella lot to pay for that. you must be in a state that requres front plates. the junkyards in states that dont have plenty of em for dirt cheap. ahh well...itll still look good when youre done

I can't blame ya for paying that price since it makes quite a difference. I looked for a few months when I had my Z bumper and had no luck whatsoever.
I'd go with red vinyl since your front plate looks good already.
i paid for for my filler !! still New in it GMs static wrapper... but it i also got a brand new Z24 bumper from the dealer with it... hahah so my 40 was well worth the price ... a new z24 filler plater and Z bumper !!

maybe in your state.. in our province we are only required to display a rear plate... so basically every cav/sunfire I see at the junkyard has a filler plate.... I have 2 for my car... I think I paid a dollar for my extra one..
