Default C7 badges for c5
Hey guys, i’m wanting to use the c7 front emblem on my c5, was wondering if any one else has done this and if so how is the fitment? any links would also be appreciated. (I want blacked out emblems, and please don’t give me a lecture on how c7 badges don’t belong on a c5, they look amazing on them lol)

Do what you want - it’s your car and your money. All you have to worry about is whether the C7 emblem will cover the two alignment holes in the front fascia on the C5.

It has been done, though it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen any threads on it. As I recall the only issue was purists.

Looks good, is this just a normal c7 badge? or is it special made to fit a c5

Your car is pure sex on wheels.
2 questions:
What side skirts are those?
What is going on in the openings below the turn signals?

the skirts are from c7 Carbon I believe and the light strip in the vents were turn signal indicators/DRL but I've since removed them
