Default Chrome to Black

Where is a good source to purchase black corvette emblems and the corvette lettering for the rear facia. I have the chrome option on my GS and I am considering going to black to match the other black pieces on the car. Pictures would be great as well. My car is Blade Silver if that would help.

ACS Composites. I just changed the chrome badging for the carbon flash. Looks great and price was decent. OEM badges.

I had a friend do the exact same thing. He got his off eBay. Quality was good and the parts had a little 'heft' to them and felt like OEM. The ones he got were not identical, subtle differences, but looked great. If I needed to replace mine, I would get some.
Amazon is another source, as well as vendors on this site.

I have the Carbon Flash Accents on my Roadster and it has the optional chrome insignia.

i got the OEM black ones. I took the chrome one off the nose and realized it felt more substantial than the black ones. I put the chrome one back on.

I just ordered the eBay shinny black ray emblem. I think they will look good on my car. Everything else is black. I already changed the lug nuts.

If you want OEM, ACS Composite and West Coast Corvette have them. If you go the Ebay route, make sure you're getting carbon flash and not just "black"
