Why don't you go look on some of the supplier sites?

RPI Designs show a few and they don't look to be crooked.

The right side flag is off! It looks like the emblem is poorly made.

I agree... It's the top of the console lid that makes the emblem look crooked...

It looks good however, to my eye, the left side it just a tad higher than the right.

If I were to get in your car with this cosole lid installed I wouldnt notice it being crooked but it is crooked. If I were in your shoes it would bother me too especially for what these interior mods cost.

It does not look right. The C6 logo is a stylized set of flags made of straight lines, which gives Jake the great look. This set looks crappy; I would not want it on our Vette.

Well I looked at mine and snapped a pic.
Pretty much looks the same and admit I never noticed it.
The Emblem is not true to form, but from any other angle really does look fine installed.
I'd say this is the way the patch's themselves are
Here's mine.

I saaid it was crooked before and it is but it would not bother me. They do make them correct though because I have a Cashmere one in my car that is perfectly straight.
