Personally, I prefer the C5 emblem. However, to each his own. And, for that matter, we all enjoy modifying our cars to express a certain level of uniqueness, as well as, actually upgrade and enhance performance and esthetics. So, why not add custom "badging" that suits your taste? Enjoy.

I'll probably keep the C5 emblem on my car, but the C6 one does look good on EGs car.

I have to agree with 99.9% of the forum, WHY. I HATE when people put emblems on there car when it isnt the car. You might fool normal people, but the smart one's will just look at it and laugh. If you like them that much, buy a C6.

Each to their own, but I don't understand it either. Not for me, but its your car, do with it as you please.
You will have to search long and hard to find anyone putting a C5 emblem on a C6.
Or a C5 owner with a C4 badge on his car.
When you see someone putting Z06 emblems on a non Z06 C5, or C6 emblem on a C5 or a C5 emblem on a C4, my first impression tends to be "wannabe".
However, with the classic Vettes..... I have seen people put emblems from those cars onto their C6s. This is one example where a C6 owner put an emblem from the Grand Sport

And take a look at this where the owner is an admirer of, and pays homage to the Stingray.
