Awww C'mon now! After a little altercation with a light pole, I've been doing body work and just decided to go without the crappy, plastic crossed flag emblems, and just leave the Z06 badges. But now I have to rethink this.

I bought a pair from her but the front one was not curved to fit the hood. My bodyshop guy used a heat gun to try to reshape it and it didn't work since it's plastic and might melt.
Do yours fit properly?
Thanks

1). You don't need to bend them. They work fine in flat form.

2). They are not plastic.

3). Install them and enjoy them.

Seems the email was taken down due to forum rules. However, I sent an email to Susan telling her she needed to contact the Corvette Forum to be a sponsoring vendor. I told her she would sell a bunch of these. So, hopefully she can come on board.
