Engine Cover Flag

Has anyone found a source for a ‘flag’ overlay that fits the intake cover on the stingray? I know some of you paint it but I’d rather not go that route.

No, I meant the side a-rail covers that are black.

You're right, it is too big for the engine cover.

Personally, I think it looks terrible. I'd install one that was the right size, but no way I'd install that.

Thanks!

The emblem is much better proportioned IMO to the engine cover and fills the triangular space nicely...

Also, the smaller molded base provides a nice pedestal for it to be raised on...

Nice job! Too bad an emblem this size isn’t available for the artistic challenged folks… ha

To each their own. I used a regular C8 flag and I think it looks great. It fills the space nicely and doesn't overpower the rest of the cover. I have seen some folks paint the one that is on the cover and most look like shxx, because painting it requires attention to detail and patience. But of course, it is not my car!
