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

Default Looking for rear CORVETTE emblem

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.

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.

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.
