50th anniversay emblems

I'm new here, but can you get the 50th anniversay emblems in a black finish? I just bought a black 03 and the emblems are silver and look horrible in my opinion..

Thanks

The AE emblems are silver. You might be better off using a black sharpie. I used a gold sharpie for one for in my engine and it still looks good after a year. FWIW

They are all silver. Paint them yourself for the custom look.

IMO, It makes the 03 unique and helps set them apart from other C5's.

I love the emblem and agree with you, it just stands out WAY too much for my liking on a black car..They look great on QuickSilver vettes

You can just replace them with black. I have the silver and it's already nicked in a couple places. I've considered swapping them out for the standard black. It's not as if I'm planning to maintain this as a perfect original Vette in 25 years.
