Default Anyone made a 'Supercharged' logo to replace the rear Corvette text?

I'd quite like to replace the stock Corvette font on the back of the car with something in a similar style that reads 'Supercharged'. Does anything exist already, or do I need to go custom?

I've made a sort of half-arsed mock-up of what I think it should look like.




It needs to be in italic though to match the C7 logo, and some of the letter joining needs work.

After fiddling, I think it works better without the U and P attached. I still need to get it italic though for it to properly match the C7 logo.




I'm going to see if any gel lettering companies can make this.

"Super" looks better but "charged" needs work. I would at a minimum detach the D and possibly even the A.. you're definitely on to it though

As per your suggestion, what do you think?







Personally I prefer the D connected. I'm not sure if I prefer the A connected or not. Possibly not.

^^^ Yeah I've seen that. its very nice, but I just swapped all my badged for carbon black ones and I have no chrome on my car. Sure I could probably paint them, but they still don't look 'Corvette-ish' to me.

Top one looks much better. Another option is rather than connecting the RGE on the top, maybe connect them on the bottom leading off the arm of the R..

I was actually thinking of removing the Stingray emblems and doing a smaller supercharged emblem in their place on the sides. Still haven't decided if I want to or not.

I had them made by a company called Emblem Pros. They can customize any of their stock pieces...

I paid around 100.00 for both..Very high quality...

They also did my "LT1 Corvette Supercharged" covers for my LT4 blower...

I would love something like that for the console plate instead of the standard corvette one. Would it fit there?

Are you planning on putting them on the fenders? I had done the same thing in the past. I took them off the fenders because when i had them on using a level they looked very crooked. You might be better off just going with the body lines. I ended up just putting one on the flat area below the passenger tail light.
