Custom Z06 side badges.
Does anyone know where I can have some badges made with custom horsepower reading. After my cam and headers are intalled and the car is dyno'd I would like to put an updated hp reading on the side.. Being an 01 my badges don't have a # on them but when my mods are complete I would like to display the upgrades

Question is, are mods ever complete? :D
Will you find yourself needing an interchangable set? :lol:

Re: Custom Z06 side badges. (Ruby6spd)
When you find out what one set, a decent one anyway, costs, you may think differently about changing them on a regular basis. Getting one nice set out of stainless or something like that would be expensive. I think that's why you don't see these around other than the expensive ones offered by one of the forum vendors.

I'd think it would be really expensive to get something like that made. However, lots of other cars have model designations which contain numbers ... maybe you could locate trim pieces with the desired numbers at a BMW/Audi/Mercedes etc dealer. I've heard of at least one guy that used Mercedes trim pieces to create an 'LS6' piece for his car. Just a thought.

Maybe you can get custom badges with a blank spot for the horsepower reading, and then you can write the HP in with a dry-erase marker so it's always up to date. :D

It would probably be cooler to just operate in stealth mode and pick off the unsuspecting victims.

Exactly my thoughts.

Ruby6spd,
I bought brand new custom Z06 billet aluminum badges that say supercharged for 150 in the parts for sale section. I know there is somebody on this forum that can hook you up, just can't remember who. :rolleyes: :cheers:

Talk to that wheel wiz on American HotRod. Boyd Codingtons shop. Maybe he could sneak it in while he is cutting the wheels for the 57. :party:

I like my blank '01 badges... doesn't matter what my horsepower is. Right now I've got 370 at the wheels and it won't stop there.

I have no doubt you would consider selling yours for that price. :eek: :D
That is exavtly what I paid for 'em. Only you won't have to wait 6-weeks for them to be custom made. :)
