I like it
I think it looks interesting.
Not sure I'd put it on the outside, maybe too rice, but I think I'd put one on the waterfall.

Like anything, too much of any good thing can ruin it. I personally like the carbon fiber trim option, but I don't think I would have my C5 logos get the treatment.
A little chrome, a little detail paint, a little carbon fiber all looks good, however IMO too much of any one thing takes away from the car!
The OEM console carbon fiber-look trim in the C6 IMO looks great!

I'm not a fan of sticking carbon fiber everywhere it'll fit-in fact I don't see what the attraction is-even with a high gloss,it still looks unfinished,no matter where you put it.
but that's just me....

Your emblems are cool, but would not be better than the current emblem IMHO. However I can see where it would be cool on a Vette, I see it as an accent not a stand alone, so it would depend on what the Vette had on it already.
Nice work
I'm sure there are many who would like them

I would like to see it with the flags colored like normal and the billet or stainless trim on the inside and outside of the emblem.
I hate trying to clean around my front and rear emblems. Never looks as good as the rest of the car. I plan on getting the stainless emblem surround and inserts to fill up the middle so you can't see the paint in the middle of the emblem.
