Some of you guys are harsh.......It's your frickin car - do what you want............. the C6 emblem on the front of my black C5Z looks awesome and totally appropriate. NOW, when you start using incorrect badges with HP indicated, that's a horse of a different color.............. my thoughts........... you're welcome

I just got a c6 and swapped the emblems for the c7. I prefer the emblem, more aggressive and blends in with the lines. The rear emblem took some work.
Some people get a car to reminisce on the past, some to race, some to impress... other, just because. At the end of the day, its your car, your expression.... just don't butcher it with cheap parts and racer burner glue on mods.
...my 2cents

Just to make peoples eyes bleed on this forum. I love these emblems and they look fantastic on the car. And FWIW the Corvette club down here like it as well to include the C7 guys.

When I purchased my C5 the old dude who owned it had put 50th Anniversery Emblems on both fender, did up the interior to look like a
Z06 and stuck a back emblem on the rear of of the center console to make it look like a verts waterfall..... Needless to say in less then a week all of that was removed !
I found this topic to be somewhat amusing because I build, repair and customize guitars and belong to several guitar builders forums. You'd be surprised how many " Kids " will go to the trouble of buying a cheap Chinese Knock off of a brand name and put the brand name on it.
Who are they fooling ? Anyway, what I'm trying to get at is there are plenty of heated discussions like this as to why put something on there that it's not. IMO...To each his own ! LOL

This might be sacrilege to some people, but i'm just curious if anybody has done it and how it looks? I'm not sure if it would flow well with our cars since the C5 is so round compare to a C7. Just curious though. I'm needing new badges for my car and have been contemplating it because i like the way they look.

I found them while googling. The carbon is literally just precut 3m Carbon Dinoc and its about to be removed. First time i wash my car they will fall off because the wind from normal driving is already picking the "Flag poles" up off the emblem. They still look nice without the carbon though. The red is darker than the normal badges.
Got it, I thought maybe they were made that way; I wouldn't bother with stickers, personally. The only reason I was considering messing with my badges at all is because the silver is peeling.
Where did you get the emblems?

I wish they had been made that way. I searched everywhere for badges that were real carbon, but no luck yet. I dont remember what site I ordered the badges from. It was something really random. I searched google for C7 Corvette emblem and just started going through pages until i found a pair i liked.

Wouldn't put one on mine though. I think the C5 emblem is the nicest (or one of the nicest) Corvette emblems.

I have to disagree with the false badging statements. If he was putting 50th anniversary badges or z06 badges on a base car then I would agree its posing but he is putting corvette flags on a corvette. No big deal.
