Default Does This Look Crooked??

Does this logo look crooked to anyone? It looks like the right side is to me. This is the second one I have received and they both look the same. Maybe it's just me, that's why I'm asking.

Yes the right side at the end of the dark part of the flag is off. Would probably not noticed though if you hadnt mentioned it.

Guess my 60 year old eyes are seeing something different, and it doesn't look good. I share the same concerns as the original poster. I don't know what whould make it look better, but I ain't feeling that.

I think it's an illusion due to the top of the seat not being equal on both sides. Once I covered up the top edge, the emblem looked spot on.

I way have not stated my concerns correctly. It is straight on the console lid, but if you look at the right side of the logo it looks like it was squeezed or something.

It looks centered properly, it's the bowtie that isn't positioned correctly and the le fleur de plume is cocked because the ends of the flags droop.

I think the emblem looks ok, but I agree with keyplyr I think the top of what I believe is a console lid, is off.

Have you inspected your C6 this closely?

The car will have imperfections, gaps, paint swirls, panel alignment issues, etc. Have you ever seen the bumper up close on the C6? Not what I call top of the line. It will make you go crazy!

Leave it alone! The C6 is not a Bentley or Rolls Royce, it is assembled on an assembly line, it is a production auto subject to flaw. Nobody is hand building the car.

The C6 will have flaws, that is the way it is.

JUST DRIVE IT!

This is an aftermarket piece (console lid). That is the only reason I'm asking.

Does this look like a standard lid? Haven't kept up with the 2011's, but looks like after-market to me. If so, the OP paid good $$'s for it, and may have a legit gripe. I'm interested to see this play out.
