A bit hard to tell from those pics, but yeah it's a C5 underneath.
(Sharp-eyed California readers will note that the plates date the car to early 2002.)

Maybe just average it out and use C6 emblems?

I'm thinking a single "White Flag".

The glue-on panels on the rear window make it.

I guess the owner isn't a member here and had not read all the opinions about the C7 rear posted on this forum.
On the other hand, the workmanship of the change is very good, it fits really well. I just don't think I'll be running to my bodyshop for one.

Awful. Although that hot old skool baby blue C4 in the background catches my eye.

I think it looks like somone did a good job with it but not for me. They did the wheels as well. Different, to each his or her own.

You hit on the one appointment of the C7 that really turns me off, the "flags". The look more like a Pontiac Firebird logo than Corvette.... and we all know what happened to Pontiac.
