Austin makes the best badges and can help with other machining stuff. I made my own Coil Covers out of aluminium and had Austin do the machining and polishing and they turned out GREAT. Sorry Austin I have not sent photos as it is hard to get a good shot now that they are chromed, will get some off to you this weekend, cheers Rick

Thanks all! I emailed Austin and in about one hour he had sent me several ideas. Have ordred my badges and he will have them to me in a couple of weeks. His work is impressive. Again, Thanks.

FYI- Corvette America has a Master Catalog that has parts and pieces for all Corvette generations. You could probably find the badge you want from an earlier year Vette. They have 'em all.

Does he do custom work? I'd like the z 06 405hp badge tweaked to "x 06 455hp".

I got 3 matching 525 HP badges (C5Z06 style) from a guy in Poland for $30. Super nice, but I wouldn't do it again, because he uses a non-factory looking font that I just can't get used to. Doesn't matter too much because as soon as the Vortech is on, they'll be obsolete anyway.
