chrome emblems..??
Ok, i know there HAS to be a vendor or at least someone that sells chrome front bumper and rear deck emblems for the C5s. If not chrome..then at least chrome like anyways. I found some on ebay...but there only a "chrome finish" which would of been fine but its only on the top of the emblem, the sides are still black. Anyone have any info??

What you really want are the custom made ones from an artist, I think his name is Austin...they are jewelry...the one with the flames coming off the C5 emblem are beautiful...wish I had the correct website for you, someone else will bring it up eventually.

Mid America also sells some 50th Anniversary chrome emblems. I haven't personally seen them, so can't speak as to the quality.

Isn't it funny how we all love these cars, yet something one person would really like on their car, you couldn't stand on your own? I just pulled the deck lid emblem off mine about a month ago and polished everything up for a nice clean look. I'd do the same thing with the one on the nose if there weren't holes under it. Same thing with the red calipers on the Z. I hated them and painted them black and I see a lot of people who go and paint theirs red.
Love these cars and for the most part the people who drive them.

Ummmm, A forum member gave me an email address about a year ago and I can't remember it. I will look for it and let you know. These emblems are bad ***. They are made from billet aluminum and polished with factory inserts. They are a piece of artwork!
Guess what, I just found the email, I'll PM it to you.

not right
I posted tyhe same question a few months ago.
I bought these exact ones from the same vendor. The emblems are flat and my body shop tried a heat gun to mold it to the shape of the front and after more than 30 minutes and a lot of bending, it wouldn't take the shape. Don't waste your money.me
I bought the outlines in chrome on Fleabay and it looks really good but I don't remember the vendor.
