place to get a new trunk lock cover?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: sho89mtx

my trunk lock cover came off and I tried to custom make a new one with the the cobra snake emblem I made on the computer, btu can't find a material that would cut to put in the lock. Tried a cd cover, plexiglass etc, everything cracked, so i guess i'm gonna have to go get a new one. ANyone know where I can get a good deal on a stock trunk lock cover?

thanks,
scott

p.s., here's what my original one looks like, nice, huh?

how do i go about getting one of the cobra star trunk lock covers??

Posted by: dRock95MarkVIII

There is a brand new 'NIB' trunk lock emblem with chrome bezel on eBay right now for ~$55

Mine was also geting ugly looking, so I sanded off the red, polished the lens, and painted around the star candy apple red with chrome backing and the section behind the star in black.

Finished result in a spare, chrome trunk lock bezel...thing:
