I just saw somebody had a few of these for sale,a little pricey at $250 each but now can't find it,anybody else see these for sale. First time in 13 years I've seen an Arctic White bumper emblem for sale.

I went lookin for it awhile ago and couldn't find it. $250 is just a little too steep for me,I'll wait for the repops.

I would suggest you find any ZR-1 rear emblem with pins and adhesive backing intact at a price you feel is reasonable. I think that with some patience, a very small brush, proper paint and a steady hand you could paint the colored part to match the color you want. I personally painted my '93's "ZR-1" side, rear and front(!) emblems with red paint on the part that was black. Did it while they were on the car; it would be much easier if the emblem is off the car. I just used a gloss bright red enamel because I didn't have to match a particular color, but I am sure you could find an exact match for your white. --Bob

In a worst case scenario I'd make one with a water jet cutter. Make 2 CORVETTE parts,the backing black and the CORVETTE in white smaller over the black base. While I've never seen an OEM Arctic White CORVETTE emblem for sale there's got to be more out there. I've a new one for a 1994 COPPER METALLIC,this for a car that was never built,go figure.

What year? The 1990 is about 90% the size of a 91-95 CORVETTE emblem.
I imagine the rear emblem is the same size on base and ZR-1s, but that would be a guess. But, Jason at Vette2Vette (https://www.vette2vette.com/) would know AND likely have an emblem (tho you might have to paint it yourself to match).
Just a thought....

90 ZR-1 "corvette" emblem is the same size as 89-90 narrow body cars 91-95 are ZR-1 only as they are bigger

At some point the base cars got the "Corvette" embossed into the bumper instead of a stick on letters. This is how my '94 base is. I like it better than the raised letters on my '91 ZR-1

For such a high end car, they sure are tacky.
I need to get the rear end re-sprayed, so we might just fill the holes and get rid of the cheezy plastic piece.

I do like the fact that it's a ZR-1 part only and oddly it's the hardest part to find so far. This is the first time in 13 years I've see a white one for sale.

I friend put me on to a Copper Corvette emblem several years ago and it ended up on this project. :thumbsup:

It is a repaint/custom. It is the 1994 Melon Copper Metallic that was produced on 116 Coupes/Convertibles. My car is actually a '91 that I wanted to look like a "1994" ZR-1 if they had done one in Copper. :thumbsup:

Excellent color match,I've got one of the bumper CORVETTE emblems in COPPER METALLIC. I find it bizarre I can buy a part for a car that was never produced,but can't find a part for a car that was.

You need my Copper Convertible to go with your Copper ZR-1! :-)
I also have several of the Copper Rear Emblems, now I am curious if it is a different size than the 90 emblems?

It should be a different size. If it is Copper, then it was meant for a ZR-1 because the standard car in 1994 would of had the "Corvette" embossed in the rear facia. The "Corvette" script for the '91-'95 ZR-1 was larger than the script for the '84-'90 script. :thumbsup:
