Default Vette Got Smashed....

Well I am most likely going to squeeze out enough money to get the whole car painted, which is cool. I want to replace the emblems too since the car is getting repainted, where can I find the best deal for the gas door emblem, hood emblem, and the bumper "Corvette" emblem? I looked at Ecklers but could not find the bumper emblem...

When I got my car repainted, I bought a new rear emblem in chrome from MAM, I think it was like $35.00 or so. Call Superiour Chevy for the Gas door and hood emblems, best deal around.

How does the chrome look? Think it would look good on red?

My car is Charcoal Metallic, and it looks really nice because the color is somewhat dark. I also bought chrome hood and gas door emblems. It's really up to you, what color rims does the car have? My car has Chrome Z06 wheels, so the chrome all works together.

I'll see if I can get some pictures tomorow.

Yeah I have non chrome ZR1 wheels. I'm going with black.

I did find some good prices on emblems on ebay, I think that's what I'll do.
