Default My New Carbon Fiber "GS" Emblems; Thanks to Pete @ Empire Corvettes

A big thanks goes out to Pete @ Empire Corvettes.

Good price, quality product, decent turn-around, and good communication!

The hydrocarbon may not look quite as good as another's vendors similiar product, but I'm 100% happy with my purchase!

stock OEM chrome 2010-2012 GS emblem


*this picture is not my car, but just a good picture to represent the chrome badge, my car has comp gray rims








If you need a set, contact him and let him know you want a set like Rob's!

More pictures of the whole car when Ohio's weather decides to cooperate!

John, maybe you can get this vendor to make you something similar with your engine data.

Oh my!

Next stop...a PM to Pete!

How hard was it to get to the badge and then to remove it?

It's not EASY, but its not TOO terrible. Long skinny arms would help.

If you need help, PM me.

Well my preference would be no badge at all, but I guess anything is better than the OEM blingy chrome badges, which IMO are the biggest blunder from GM in the last several years. I've heard numerous comments from friends about their dislike for the chrome badges and the inability to just remove them.

Sorry Pete, just way too many parts being ordered and different names on my mind! Thanks again, they look great.
