Those are really nice! Are any of you willing to part with one of the stock emblems you're replacing? I want to see how it looks on the back (where the ZR1 emblem goes).

I have the set I posted, never installed, wrapped in the cloth as delivered.
Yes, I'm changing my mind again, and leaning toward the 15 Z-06; I'm supposedly number two on the list.
I have a real problem with tearing into a near new engine, Supercharging was to ease the pain of having her apart.
I have talked extensively with the top four vender's whom other members have used, and still can't/don't feel comfortable with anything other than the Katech new heads at $8200.00. Then factor in shipping and my tech quoted approximately $1200/$1500 to install.
Steppng back into the past; My 89 was paid for and the new ZR-1 was 60k. Therefore, I thought installing the Carrol kit, which was a Vortex S running 10psi boost was far less money. (about 6k with freshened motor installed) Yep, it dropped my ET from low 14's to 13.04@110mph. May seem slow now, back then that was fast.
Problem was she shut off one day, coasting to the shoulder of the road. I called my local dealer, they said "Don't" bring it here there is nothing we can do for you. I called the specialty shop who had done the installation, they no longer had the tech who had installed the kit.
That brings me back full circle, if I must tear into my 9k engine, I'll be into it approximately $17k, for the modification I would be comfortable with. (this includes the E-Force Supercharger) At this point, might just as well purchase a new 15 Z. At least that's what I'm thinking now.
Therefore I will offer my never used pristine Z-06 Supercharged emblems for what I paid; Which was $260.00.
Before anyone get's too critical, one has to consider; My first Corvette was a 68 390hp 427 @ $5200.00. Purchased used in the fall of 1969 from Allen Green Chevrolet in WA. (any old geezers remember them?)
I ran the hell outa her, hitting red line in fourth once a day. She was my daily driver, never coughed sputtered never let me down.
I'm more than disappointed GM hasn't recalled every single LS-7, for new heads. My problem is I have always loved Corvettes, anything that could even begin take the place would start at 200k or more.
I will cover the shipping, pm me if interested...

Supercharged ships quickly
Austin previously made up some emblems for me - came out great!
That emblem is no longer accurate (in a good way
) so I asked Austin to make another set. In emailing him, I found out that he has Z06 supercharged badges made up and ready to ship. That was as of this weekend. For those that may want a set and quick turnaround, hit up Austin asap.
If you're looking for something different, expect a few weeks out, but get the request in NOW. He's off-line in a few weeks until Feb/March 2015. Just an fyi.
Hard to find quality products similar to Austin's (metal not plastic like the factory ones), so jump on it if you're interested.
