Default Z06 Badge

I was at a Corvette Show in the Dallas are last and ran across a vendor from New York that was selling the side Z06 Badges made from Carbon Fiber.. At that time I thought $400.00 bucks was a little steep little did I know I would not be able to find these on the web.
Has anyone seen these and if so where could they be purchased

Haven't seen them and I would tend to agree that $400 is a bit steep, but I guess you have to figure that the production is most likely in a very limited amount so costs to produce could be high.

If you can't find the vendor that had the emblems you saw, there might be a couple of options. There used to be a forum member (austin.mn I believe and his name was Austin Barnett) that made custom emblems (although I think they were made from billet aluminum), but I haven't seen him on the forum for a long time. You could try something like a Google search for his name and see if it come up with a hit. You might also want to talk with forum vendor 1SikVette - he makes some custom badges but not sure if he can do carbon fiber either.

Austin made my Z06 badges, and a bunch of others on here.
He can make anything out of Aluminum you want and any design you want.

Tell Austin what you want. He makes custom everything. See the link I posted in my last post.
