Default C5 Billet Badges

I am looking for billet badges for the nose and decklid. The badge on my decklid fell apart and if I am going to replace it I want to do it with something that will never fall apart again. Especially given the cost of OEM badging. I have looked and I am not finding any, even though I know I have seen them before. I don't want the **** Amazon chrome plated plastic crap either. Any suggestions?

Lucky Garage USA makes them, too. Slightly different ones.

VetteNuts has OEM types for about $25. They look great and fit perfectly.

They're subject to your style preference though. C5 flag outline minus the oval but in a 3D C7 appearance. I like them a lot and bought a first run set though I probably won't use them. I'm sticking with the replacement front which I simply cut the oval off of prior to this product.

This is a new shop to me. Looks neat. More people should consider these for replacement Z06 fender emblems imo instead of the cheesier ones or the C6/C7 era incorrect ones.

Looks like you have a few options available. Good luck and post up some pics once you get the emblems.

Anyone find any C5 Z06 style with "Supercharged " instead of the HP #? The old Lloyd Austin ones were nice.

Would it be lame or too much if I redid mine as Twin Turbo or to read the actual street tune dyno number? Or maybe Z06 402 CID

I think whatever you like, but the HP # may change, especially with you! LOL You could always do 1K+ HP
