Anyone Running This Instrument Panel Emblem?
I just saw this as an accessory on the Chevrolet Build It website. I've always like the Jake options. Anyone running this?

I never had seen it before either and I have been on the build-it site many times. The price is like $90 so it's definitely been Corvette taxed.
I agree the Jake skull can be overplayed at times, however I thought it was cool looking alternative to the standard plate and/or the personalized owner plate.

How hard is it to swap one of these dash emblems? My C7 still has the personalized badge from the previous owner "Build in Bowling Green Kentucky for Marianne M. Miles" LOL. I've tried tracking her down to see if she wants her tag back, but no luck. I nick-named the car Marianne in the interim. Haha.

Here's a youtube vid showing how easy it is.

I'm running that one.
My car was a museum delivery car but buyer backed out so it had a blank museum plate. Dealership gave me the option of a badge so I got this one. It looks great. I'll snap pics in the morning.
If you have a trim removal kit it's easy pop off the one already on there.

I was about to order that smaller one for my C7 tonight, but when I saw that price, I remembered that I really like the one that came with the car!

You can just carefully pry the old badge off with a plastic trim tool --there are no fasteners behind it to remove. Then the new plate just snaps in.
Here's a youtube vid showing how easy it is.

The badge the OP shows looks good, but doubt I would pay $90 for it.

Just curious, but what do normal, off the lot dash plaques look like?
