Default Corvette badges

Hey all,

Looking for different types of "badges" I can use on my car.
Some for the side and some to replace the c5 corvette flags on the back. Is there something more American or patriotic?

A couple of members have done this mod - and liked it. I'm kind of a traditionalist, and prefer to stick with the stock emblem. But it's very patriotic!

How many come from the factory on a Corvette?

Mine 03 Coupe has has four ... one on the nose, one on the hatch, and one on each front fender side. They are all 50th anniversary badges, so I assume they came with the car when it was new. But I bought it used.

They all have the ones on the nose and tail. I believe only the '03 with AE package came from the factory with the emblems on the front fenders above the cove. Also - convertibles had one on the waterfall.

Now - if you start counting the one in the center of the steering wheel, the one on each factory wheel, the one on the stock air bridge, the one embossed into the stock hood pad, and the one on the cover of the owner's manual, and on the AE cars - isn't it embroidered on the seat back, too? How many is that?

And then - us fanatics go ahead and add more!

You can get a billet badge that looks like the one on the Z06 but says LS1 on it, but they are too expensive for my tastes. Not too much out there that really looks good on the car.

I have the Indy 500 decal on the rear quarterpanel of mine.

Looks way cool! You can order them from your GM dealer. There were 38 left in stock back in Detroit when I ordered mine.

Normally I'd agree. I'm pretty much of a traditionalist too but I just couldn't stomach those French "fler-de-lais" on my car.

I replaced the OEM emblem with the WCC flag insert. A little pricey at $25 each but I think they look good
