Default C6 badges in C5?
Searched but didn't find pics. I removed the crummy aftermarket badges that were on my C5, but want to put a new one back on the front. OEM is the obvious choice but this caught my eye while browsing fleabay



Opinions? Mine is black

My worry is anything I buy is going to be vinyl overlay and end up fading and looking like crap unless I go OEM

I would just go OEM. Hard to find quality otherwise.

Stick with oem. I went to a local vinyl shop, took black scraps and covered mine. Looks sick. Been there two years

Appreciate the input, little bummed bc I wanted to do something other than the norm, but if the quality wont be there, then there is no point.

Thanks again.

Have it airbrushed and clear coated onto the bumper cover.
