I don't see anything wrong with it either

If I could id have the C7 steering wheel and seats in there as well

Its only a problem when people put a z badge on a convertible or something ...

It's your car I don't have a problem with what you want to do to it. In my opinion the configuration of the C5 flags is one of the best if not the best of all the models.

I have seen one member here on the forum that put a C7 emblem on the front of his car. Wish I could remember his user name but unfortunately I can't.

Yes. When you remove the front fascia emblem there will be two positioning holes exposed. The rear emblem on the trunk/deck does not utilize holes for positioning.

that's nearly what I did... I left a little of the flag poles on bottom and decided to tint the emblem with vinyl rather than black it out completely, it came out pretty good and I like it a lot more

Pic? The one above looks pretty good without the ring, the angle is much better for the C5 than the C7 badge. The C7 angle is too steep and does not match the lines on the C5. IMO

here's one I found... this is after the vinyl layer but I ended up cutting the poles on the flags to about half the length they are in this picture, it looked better to me that way when installed on the car but you get the idea
