Default US Flags for coupes?

Does anyone know where I can get a set of the little clip on US flags for a C7 coupe? This is for patriotic parades (I.E. 4th of July) The ones I have seen in the past (older generation Corvettes) attach to the front targa roof latches.

Flag Caddie Company, Belvidere, IL, 815-979-4591. They have the US Flags with the correct fitting posts for the C-7 Coup and Vert. I order them from Flag Caddie for my corvette club. They also have flag posts for other Corvette years.

Wow. I'm going to take part in a 4th of July parade, so I thought I might order a couple. But $60 for two flag mounts? Seriously? Are these carved from billet by Swedish virgins or something?

These products are A-1 IMHO and the owner of Flag Caddie is a friend of mine I met at a local Corvette club show in June '14.
Since I was the first C7 at the show he asked if he could do some measurements of the holes so he could design flags for the C7. Doug is very picky to make sure they are perfect. He took some measurements and made prototypes. Tested, and not quite right. More prototypes, tested and even more prototypes and he and his vendor for the hole mounts finally came up with the right fit.
He wanted to make them PERFECT, and he did.
TOP SHELF PRODUCT!
Better yet, he introduced me to the best burger joint in the area, "The Grove" in Poplar Grove, IL so we do have lunch there on a few occasions.
You won't go wrong with his product.

In a real parade, I usually have a beauty queen perched on my waterfall and I don't need two big flags to make a statement!

Convertibles are the shiznitz!

Good to know. I should have them in only a few days since he is located only about 50 miles away from me.

Also, the Flag Caddie can do custom flags too. My local corvette club (Jacksonville Corvette Club) has it's club logo and we have that on the driver's side flag with the US Flag on the passenger side. It costs a little more to have the club logo but it can be done.

Doug will coordinate with Barbra (makes the club flags) and ship out 2 masts, 1 US Flag and 1 Club flag for any C1 - C7 Corvette.

Thanks, I missed that. It makes the price a bit more reasonable.

Has anyone found a place that sells static cling American flags? Would be nice to decorate my white convertible C7 for the 4th of July (well, only if it has arrived by then)
