Default Chrome Emblems

Does anyone know who sells chrome emblems for the front and rear of the C5. Mid America used to carry them but they are no longer in their catalog.

Try Ecklers. I am planning on ordering a set from them for some future mod projects.

I need the C5 emblems in chrome, not the Corvette letters. I can't find them on Ecklers website, CCA's nor Mid America's. The ebay links only show the letters. Some body has to sell them.

Just take them off and have them chromed. Check your local custom shops first about getting it done or check the web.

from what i've read in the past, the chrome chips and flakes off very easily.

i wanted to change up my regular looking black logo so i bought some 2003 anniversary logos and cut out the middle portion that references the 50 years.

I can't remember where I got mine, but here is a chromed center waterfall. I bought some chrone emblems for the front and rear too, and although nice, the white/red plastic portions are definitely starting to show some worn weather effects, albeit after 5+ years

Now that's exactly what I'm looking for. I wish you could remember where you got them. The stainless ones are o.k. but not what I want. I guess the silver ones could be an option if I can't find the chrome. The original ones are plastic and I don't think you can have them chrome plated. Thanks for the replies that I've gotton so far.

Man, sorry that you are having this much trouble. I thought I saw them in either Ecklers or Corvette Centrals catalogs. I 'll go through them again to make sure and will keep an eye on your post if anybody else can help find these. I am planning a respray on my front bumper and was planning to change over to chrome emblems when I did that. Now I'm kinda bummed

Are you looking for something like this on my plenum? It is definitley chrome and has a stick on backing. It was pricey. They were not listed for front or back though. Just fit where you might want to use them. If this is what you are looking for, I will find where I bought it and price.
