Default Black & Chrome Emblems



Ordered these from some dude on ebay hopefully they arent a hassle to keep on.. he said they dont have the alignment pins like the factory ones but rather, have adhesive and is made of semi-flexibe platic. Will post pics when they're on.

Did anyone have a similar experience with replacing their emblems?

Nice looking emblems. If they use the 3M emblem tape, they aren't going anywhere. I used that for the emblems on my Camaro. They didn't budge in 10 years.

I ordered one of those, Im debating on installing it or not as it's noticable larger then the stock emblem.....

I wanted a emblem that looks stock but without the colors , this one is kinda gaudy or as if I purchased it at vatozone ya know?


its still a nice emblem thou...i might install it and rock it for a bit....

You can find them at Zip Corvettes. There are two sizes - one for the front and one for the back.

Here's an album of me taking mine off.

My front emblem is kinda faded and ugly, these would work great for it. Looking forward to your review.
