Default 6oth fender emblems and wheel center caps

I like the look of the 427 Convertible 60th Anniversary fender emblems and wheel center caps. So, I decided to buy the emblems and caps and installed them. Besides I'm 60... just like the Corvette!

Nice, I would like to put those fender emblems on also, do they just stick on or did you have to drill?

I put them on also. It was also my 60th birthday present to myself. Pay no attention to the old man wearing the bathrobe you see in the reflection of the car.

That's my "stopper" so I don't pull up too far in the garage.

Very good looking, and also appears stock, which is nice.

Looks like you might keep this car more than a month?

Btw, where did you purchase those emblems? Link?

Thanks, they look stock and they only come with the 60th Anniversary 427 Convertible which is basically a paint, stripe and interior pkg. (Artic white and Blue interior) so I think they are appropriate for this car.

I bought the emblems on ebay for $79.95 with free shipping. Just type in "60th Corvette fender emblems".

Yeah, I hope to keep this one for over a month!

Yes...all '13 Corvettes have the "60 years" emblems front and rear.

Count me in the 60 year old with a 60th club.

Unfortunately, the 60th fender emblems did not come with the 60th stripes package on a GS, probably because there's no room for the emblem with the GS's three side vents.

The 60th emblem image is on the steering wheel, waterfall and door sills, perhaps that's enough, but I do like those fender emblems.

Edit: No 60th emblem on the waterfall, just the same emblem that is on the from and rear bumper.

The wheel centre caps were the first things I changed when I got the car home from BG.

I really like that emblem, but imo, it doesn't look good any where on a GS fender.

However, what do you guys think about here?

I just did a quick & dirty copy & paste, but you get the idea I'm sure.

Looks pretty good to me. What do y'all think?
