Because there aren't already 20 emblems and what not already on the inside of the car.

Emblem adding is rarely a good looking, non-tacky experience.

Mine had it when I got it. Thank you to whoever owned it before me!
It looks like it should have been there all along, and it's an inexpensive mod that looks great.

Actually every part on the car should be covered in emblems and "Corvette" script. Why stop at what GM left available? The following parts should also be covered:

Exterior-
Front Fenders
Doors
Rockers
Rear Fenders
Rear Bumper
Targa
B-Pillar
Windshield
Hood
Windows (etched in)
Rear hatch should have an enormous Corvette emblem on it.
Side mirrors
Tires
Headlights should have a shroud around the front so that when you turn them on, there is a "Corvette" that is cut out of the light beam
The weatherstripping should also have crossflags all over

Interior-
The headliner should have a huge emblem under the targa
The buttons on the radio and HVAC should have little emblems on them
The door panels should also have two emblems on them, for the lower and upper half
The shift **** should have an emblem on the top of it
The knee bolsters should have the script on them
The floor mats should have both the script and emblem

Engine bay-

All caps should have the emblem
he oil dipstick should have the script printed over and over on it
All hoses should have a wrapper with small pics of the emblem

Chassis-
The sway bars should have the script along the entire bar
All bushings should have the emblem
The leaf springs should be covered in the script
The brake rotors should have cutouts of the emblem instead of being drilled
The insides of the exhaust pipes should also be scripted

The previous owner added one to mine as well. This seemed to be a popular mod back then. I've seen a lot of C5's with them added there.
