Opinion on rear emblem - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

GOLDCYLON · 10-01-2016

Ok my red 90s emblems look a little tired. I ordered replacements but this 90 has the updated 91 body style. So do I use 90 emblems or 91-95 emblems OR these custom jobs? What are your thoughts folks? I have a front custom emblem as well but I need to go tomorrow to ACE to buy some right sized chase nuts.

Carter?
The plastic inserts come off easily with a little heat...
Get my drift?
Often wondered why something like that wasn't out there?

Your car is very custom, so custom it is

I'd go for the customs. But I wish the bowtie on the custom emblem was a twin to the one on the stock emblem. I think a classy custom emblem that can be mistaken for "stock" is very cool.
As a comparison, look at the emblems from the fifties, sixties and seventies. The "fuelie" emblems, the 427 "turbo jet" (1966), and the 454 hood emblems on the C3's. That's my benchmark. Classy, metal, almost like jewelry.
A major disappointment for me has always been the cheezy stock plastic emblems on our otherwise unique, legendary, iconic, car.
I'd like to see someone do replacement metal emblems for these, in either the original design, (without the sloppy rounded edges), or in a repro of the old "splash" design. Maybe just a hair larger than stock.
These emblems should have a much more "High End" character than the originals, but look like the Corvette designers should have done them in the first place.

JMHO.
