I've seen C5s with badges that aren't factory.

I doubt that. the car is in CA and your in IL. Odds are your jerking our chain.

I think the photo's fake. Look real close at the emblem just below center of the oval. Looks fake to me.

Default Maybe....

I don't get this on an Impala but a suburban why not? Maybe his other car is a C5.

Dude that's it?

I've seen far worse before.

There are far to many stolen Kompressor and Supercharged emblems used on Corvettes. Then there are those guys with the Z51 badges...

Ok, Ouch! Fake or not fake, who cares! Maybe we should all put Monte Carlo Earnhardt edition badges on our vette's
