I don't recall seeing any forum vendors that offer billet C5 emblems - only emblems like the Z06 fender badges or similar.
There is a vendor on the big auction site that sells chrome plated billet emblems (ambakershut) - the seller's name is Susan and she can be reached at ambakershut@yahoo.com. She has some nice quality emblems, but be aware that the front emblem does not match the curvature of the front fascia - some that have bought the emblems have slightly bent the front one to match the curvature. There were some posts on the forum about bending these emblems - try a search on here or on Google. Price for a pair of the emblems was around $90.
I bought my custom emblems from Austin Barnett. They are not the same style as the factory ones, but are approximately the same size and are polished/powdercoated. The front one from Austin does not match the curvature perfectly either, and I had to bend the emblem slightly to make it sit flush with the front fasica. Not hard, just a bit of trial and error until I got it just right. Here's his web site and you can look at his offerings:

They are not cheap, but the quality is excellent.
