Yep, I remember reading about this a couple of months ago. It seems that GM charges such a premium of the Corvette logo that it is not cost effective for vendors to purchase the license rights to do something like patches. That's why something as cheap to make as an exhaust plate cost like you smacked the manufacturer's mother.

Well looking on eBay, I see patches for C1, C2, C4. and C6s.......no C5s
Seems like the GM fee would be the same

Actually, some people bootleg the logo but I hear GM has lawyers that look like a combination of Alien vs. Predator and they come after you like they ain't been feed in decades. You can bet the bootleggers are NOT in the US.

Well if you buy from there, you might need this site for assistance:
Like I said, NOT in the US! Also, you notice that they do cash on delivery? Strange!

Ok guys, I just submitted a request for a quote on a patch from PatchDevil.com. Their minimum order is 6 patches. I sent a pic of the C5 logo, and asked how much for a 10" patch. (across) I will let you guys know when I hear back from them. If anyone is interested, the order will be 6 of them, so if anyone wants one, let me know and I'll get the order going once they email me back. I just got a Dickies jacket and I really want the C5 flags for the back.
Here's the image I sent them:
