Default does anyone have....?

Does anybody make corvette lettering inserts for the back, that is in black instead of chrome??? i like the chrome lettering, but on my orange car, i think black would look better.


while i'm asking, does anyone make a jake emblem or something different than the original front emblems that will fit in the little stud holes, or ant least cover them up????

thanks a lot.

Many vendors such as Eckler's, WCC, and others sell the lettering. Just start searching the list on the left side of the screen.

There is no Jake emblems for a nose replacement, but there are decals. However the decals are a C6 logo. There never was a real C5 Jake. All those that you see were made by different members. The true Jake logo in a copyrighted logo by GM.

Yes, get a blank nose plate and put a Jake decal on it. I believe GM Parts House sells the blanks.

I would think that "Corvettes Of Houston" would have them. I know that they have red.

Something to consider like I did was to buy black carbon fiber C5 flag decals for the nose emblem.When you install these it turns the emblem all black with carbon fiber flags.I think it really looks nice on my white convertible.I also have them for the rear emblem.Sorry my PC won't do pics.
