Default Where to get the blue ZR1 badges?

I need to get replacement badges for the blue ZR1 logos (two on the hood, one in bumper). My xpel installer strongly suggests removing them and then installing new ones on xpel. I searched but could not find oem ones. Does anyone know how to get them?

thank you

This guy is pretty good and has done ZR1s before. He has a very legitimate explanation and that is the ZR1 logos arent always perfectly placed at the same location as such the xpel template has to account for a bigger space than it needs leaving those edges quite exposed for a big rectangle.

This is not the corvette badges I am talking about, he isnt touching those.

This is the exact opposite of what my installer said and did. The cut outs around the ZR1 logos are appropriately spaced and nearly invisible. The crossed flags were removed and reapplied over the film. I would be concerned with using this guy. Even if he’s done ZR1s before. You do realize all badges on the C7 are applied with a machine/template to ensure they are straight and centered... he’s basically saying he can reapply new emblems better than BG. I call BS on that one lol

My installer took mine off put the EXPEL under then put the same ones back on all you need is the thin 3m double sided tape to reinstall them. I bought some at the local auto paint store. you can use the regular double sided tape it is just a little thicker I prefer the professional grade it is thinner. Your installer should have some!!!!!!!!!

He should take a picture or make a templet that what mine did I was there when they put the last side back on. It's not rocket science!!!

That’s what I did. FYI, the hood and rear badges are not the same.

My clear wrap shop removes all badges and lettering and reinstalls new, mirrors and door handles too, on every car no matter the price, I have uses shops that did not remove the badges and lettering, and they did a good job, but it's not the same, my cars are 100% wrapped

My installer did the same - applied 3m and reapplied badges.. Very happy with results.
