You'd be wrong, $12.96 shipping. They must have changed their shipping charges, since that's what was happening YEARS ago. I've purchased many items from them in the last 18 months and their shipping were in-line with any OTHER vendor shipping the exact same item.

That's why I shop around, to find out what's really going on. We all need to watch what we spend these days.

All of the vendors include the special 'Corvette Tax' in their pricing and shipping charges. Problem is that I think the badges look pretty good and just ordered a set.

I stopped shopping them awhile back because of the outrageous shipping....good to know and I'll consider them again for purchases.

I certainly don't hammer people in shipping charges. I've looked at it again more recently and I'm sometimes paying extra money to get it to the person. There's no money being made from shipping, lol, at all.

I forgot to mention, that's with tax included in the price. As far as a template, you can make your own, it's a no-brainer.

One of my co-workers live out your way. I may have to take a ride out your way one of these weekends and check out your Z as well. Thanks for the info.
