Default Air bridge badge logos?

Where can I find em? I see tons of the decal kits, which is simple enough. But I'd like an actual raised badge to place on the Halltech air bridge. Does anyone make these? In color?

Thanks!

Here is something that may work for you on the air bridge.
It is the emblem which sits on the vert interior waterfall. These emblems are a little smaller than the emblems that are on the exterior. Here is a link to West Coast Corvette website

Beware the decals that just stick to the air bridge. Even though I did a lot of prep work to make sure the decals would stick, they don't. I might just paint the raised area next time I take the air bridge out. As for the plastic emblem, make sure the surface is very clean or it won't stick. It gets real hot under the hood. Good luck.

I use the regular plastic emblem from WCC. Works fine.

I went to the dealer and purchased a nose emblem for a 50th vette, watch your clearance.

Thanks for the tips! The waterfall emblem sounds like the best bet because of its size. And also because the waterfall has a slight curve to it, it may be better suited to the curved surface of the air bridge.

Really?? I used decals and they're still stuck tight. I've even cleaned the engine several times since then, and they're still stuck. They may come loose in time though. They've only been there a few months. We'll see.

I bought a decal from Corvette Accessories Unlimited about 3 years ago and installed it on my air bridge. Not had one problem with it. I think the waterfall emblem would work fine - just be sure it doesn't make contact with the hoodliner.
