Custom Z06 badges?
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section, but I'm sure it will be moved if I guessed wrong.
Anyway, I'm in the process of rebuilding my Z06 after an unfortunate disagreement with the Armco barrier at Barber. I thought I wanted to keep sliding safely through the grass, and the Armco thought the COMPLETE OPPOSITE.
Anyway, that has led to some body work, and since I was replacing 2/4 fenders anyway, I decided to go for a 4 pack and get wide-body L5 front and rear fenders. I was going to transfer over my OE Z06 badges to the new fenders, but then I thought to myself "Self, if posers can get fake Z06 badges that say 'LS1', maybe you can get fake badges that say LS3"
So what I'm looking for are C6 Z06 style badges, but in the fine print under Z06 it says something like "6.2L LS3" or something to that effect. Is there anything out there, or anyone capable of making such trinkets?

C6Z style, or C5Z style?
Here are C5Z style... but IMO, these are tacky as all get out:

This company used to make them, but looks like they finally went out of business. They were able to do custom script as well and badges ran $180 for the set.

Try reaching out to Austin at custom@vetteorama.com
Back in the day Austin was custom making exactly what you are looking for. Quality work and fair prices. Not sure if he's still doing it though.

Yeah, if it's the same Austin we are talking about, he sold his business of making car logos long ago. What REALLY sux is he was in the process of making me custom speaker grilles and rings. He ghosted me. I never did get them
(here are some pictures Austin sent me. can't believe he made them and never sent them. this was back in 2013)
