Default 68-72 emblem size

I am currently working on a personal project designing and 3D printing the Corvette Flags emblems, as accurately as I can, for the first production year of the new generation.

if someone with a 68-72 Vette could measure the width and height of the emblem, (with pictures, preferably) I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

I think they're the same aren't they? If not then the front one.
Thank you so much!

Wouldn't the best option be to obtain a real emblem and scan it?

I would, but the local corvette graveyard has been picked of emblems and sold on ebay. Other option would to buy all the emblems online, but that is way too much money for my end goal

I plan on just displaying, I could potentially get in hot water for putting it on a car with GM.

I did design the C4 emblem to work be able to put on, but I would rather just buy one to replace it

Is this project just something for your personal use or are you looking to sell items with it? (GM may have issues with the second use too.)
