I was the one who got it

. I LOVE it! I will get you a pic as soon as my I get my truck back from the dealership.....my charging system gremlins returned.

I do not believe that the mini covers are the same size as the engine cover, however, I am happy to have them make something up for it! I'm sure they could!

I am working on Dash plug overlays, door emblems, steering wheel center and now the engine cover overlays... Stay tuned!

*24.99 + shipping for the #3 mini emblem. The regular jake mini emblems are 19.99. Keep in mind that they can do pretty much any size as well, hence the other product ideas I'm working on.

That is awesome! I did see your post and I really appreciate it. Perhaps you could take them the Dash Plug AND show them the engine cover so that they could put some designs together? I know there is some interest for door emblems as well, to go next to the "SS"

I will get in contact with them about this and let you know. When would you be available to take these down to their shop?

Can't wait to see it

What exactly are the charging system gremlins? Alternator? Battery problems?

Thanks all! I will keep you updated!!

Also something I will have them look at! I just don't want any of the overlay guys to think I'm stealing business. I will have to look into it more to make sure I'm not stepping on anyone's toes....

Love the mini SS emblems.. def inferested.. think they would look awesome next to the SS emblems on the side/rear of the truck

c99z71 · Jan-10-10, 07:49 PM

JD,
What about this for the dash plug replacement? Basically the same as the plastic one but this would be a nice aluminum piece. I think it would look better if the script around the SS was the same as the TrailBlazer GM Logo, as in the second picture. I could not get a picture to change and go around in a circle. You get the idea.
You could also put the SS in the outside circle, on top next to "TrailBlazer" and then Jake could go in the center.
Just some more ideas. I would get one of these... the original plastic plug is just plain cheezy looking.

Proposed Dash Plug

GM TrailBlazer Script

**JD_SS** · Jan-12-10, 11:09 PM

Joe, I really like that idea.

I am going to discuss everything with them this weekend so I will report back. Keep the ideas coming. Thanks all.

**DoWork** · Jan-12-10, 11:21 PM

That is the "old style" Trailblazer letter. If you need the newer one like what came on our trucks JD, hit me up, I have it in several formats.

**JD_SS** · Jan-21-10, 10:19 PM

Alright guys, putting the ideas together.

The Jake lineup thus far would include:

Hitch Covers
Miscellaneous Mini Emblems
Dash Plug replacement
Steering wheel emblem
Exterior Door Emblems
Rear Hatch Emblems
Valve Stems

Any other ideas?

SSnowflake · Jan-21-10, 10:23 PM

I could probably run by there anytime starting next WED to the following TUE. Just let me know what they say.

ls2drew · Jan-21-10, 10:28 PM

i want one for the engine cover

GTOhaas07 · Feb-16-10, 07:27 PM

Any chance on embroidered items like floor mats or patches? A silver on black Jake patch would look sick on my flight suit.

DarkKnightZ · Apr-07-10, 07:09 PM

Is it possible for you to powdercoat yellow? If someone was ordering a Jake trailer hitch as a gift, how would they go about ordering a hitch with a yellow Jake with black eyes and teeth?

Also - are the Jake dash plugs available yet? If so, how do I purchase one?

Thanks

**JD_SS** · Apr-08-10, 07:37 PM

Hi Nick,

I replied to your email. I hope that is all of the information you need. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Thanks,
JD

i dont mean to ask a stupid question, but what is the history behind this? the punisher and the corvette flags? or is there something else? Either way I would be interested in a steering wheel cover silver with black

'Jake' is the nickname for the Corvette Racing 'mascot'. It started with a skull on the front of one of the C5-R Corvette Racers and a 'Take No Prisoners' message painted on the Corvette pit box at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, then was transformed into what we now call 'Jake' in 2005 when the C6R race cars were introduced. Check out www.badboyvettes.com for a much better description.

JD SS - any updates on the 'new' Jake items like steering wheel / dash plugs and exterior emblems?
