American Flag emblem insert... $ouch$

Okay - so I love the look of the American flag insert for the emblem... and I can even (almost) deal with paying $40 for two vinyl inserts (ouch). But $15.00 to ship them??? We need a group buy or something on these!

C'mon ECC - Any help?

Have you checked out vendor Custom Center Caps? His inserts are way cheaper than $40, and shipping is not $15.

Yeah - I actually ordered a set of those. I realized that having the Stars & Stripes represented as stripes and stars kind of bugs me (looks like the flags flying backward).

I really like the design that ECC has, and I don't mind paying for it (even though the Corvette tax is well represented), but unless they're surrounded by lead "peanuts", $15 for shipping seems a bit... excessive.

Just wondering - doesn't it bother you at all to put cheap stickers on your Corvette?

It's really not cheap - either in price or in construction
There's lots of cheap parts on the Vette when it leaves the factory
Not everything that's good or fun to have has to be expensive, or OEM
That's the one I was looking at, but at over $50, it's a bit too expensive for me (for a sticker anyway)!
Lighten up... it's only a car!

That's from ECC - part number C6F.
