C3 Emblem on C5
With inspiration from member Six862m6 and his post on another thread, I have added the C3 badges onto my C5.
And to those naysayers chompin' on the bit to trash my car, be my guest. I'm not trying to pass my car off as something it's not (I have plenty of other stickers for that!) This is just my tribute to the fantastic C3, a model I had wanted since I was a kid.

I've got a similar version of those cross flags with an impala & SS across the top of them on my 95 ImpSS. (Phone won't let me upload pics right now). Suprisingly, nobody has mistaken it for a C3 yet or accused me of "pretending" !!
Nice nod to a previous gen I think.

As far as actual generations are concerned, I'm a bigger fan of the C2s, but I like these particular set of flags better than the C2s.

Thanks!
Positioning the emblem in the cove was actually an afterthought. As the emblem is bent at an obtuse angle to match the nose of the C3, I couldn't straighten it enough to mount it on the fender as Six862m6 had.
I tried various places on the car and found it fit perfectly in the cove area, (as it is positioned on the C1 Corvette.)
So I have a C3 emblem on a C5 positioned like a C1. Oh well, I like it.
