eBay - but I would advise against it. It's nothing more than a decal.

why not trace out the lettering thats already there with clay...let it dry...then find a machine shop in your area that could mold a piece for you with the letters raised....then CAREFULLY dremmel out the letters..and mount the mold behind it...make sure the letters on the mold (and the word) are backwards cuz it will be facing the opposite way of the clay mold you made...it will cost you a little bit...most machinists if they are any good can do the job in a couple of days..thats what i did...

it would be easier and really cheap to just get an aluminum plate made and chromed to put behind the letters after you dremmel them out.. it will look just like the picture only it will last a long **** time..
