So I thought the C6 badges would take care of that issue..

Any pics?

NO! I have not and NO! don't do it!

That's a big negative

Thanks,Matt

What don't you put Cadillac emblems on it? It's no more a Cadillac than it is a C6.

Where do some people come up with these such ridiculous ideas?
Really. Go buy a c6 if you like the logo so much!

looking.

The emblems are fine just inside the halo of the emblem is hard to clean thats why I was thinking C6 emblems. I think Iigt try the modified C5 ones though.

I agree as long its a corvette its up to tue owner if he chooses. C6 and C7 chassis originated from C5 and all corvettes should be entitled to updating emblems.

Here we go again! As most everybody knows by now, this just irks the hell out of me! It's your car. If you think C6 badges will look good on your C5 then just do it! Why would you give a hoot what I (we) think?

Did the C6 emblem cover the stock holes left by the old C5 or did it utilize them?

Why not, it's only a logo...

Some of the guys have responded like you're putting a Mustang logo on it??

We see C6 wheels on C5's all the time. Not a big deal in my book.

It covered the holes, make sure u get the OEM ones they are flexible the cheaper eBay ones are rigid plastic and can't bend to the front of the c5 nose (ask me how I know) haha. I just cut the mounting pins off the c6 emblem flush (they are too wide for the c5 holes) once you have one in your hand it'll make sense. Then I put painters tape marking top botom and sides (like a square around the areas I wanted it) and stuck it on!
