Those LS2 badges ought to scare the crap out of a Cobra/Viper owner!

I think they would look great!

Would you be able to make a badge for the LS3- 430HP, 2008 Corvette. Going to order one as soon as I sell my house in Belleair.

Evidently the guy will make any fender badge you want. $200 per pair (I believe) plus around $5 for shipping.

Here's a link to the thread where I saw his work -> http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1709173

Who would I get to mount the badges, I would never attempt to get them even, especially on opposite sides of the car. I can screw up anything that requires mechanical skills of any kind, especially with tri focals.

Well, since these will replace my regular Z06 fender badges, I'm just going to mark and measure the old ones before I remove them I think just laying down some masking tape strips would help me keep them aligned correctly.

I'm just thinking out loud here

What if you find a "power adder" you can't live without and it ups you Hp??? the badges would be wrong

They look cool as hell but it would bug the crap out of me if my car made more HP than the badges

Yeah, it could happen that my engine would pop a piston and I would wind up getting a C5R block to replace it.

But honestly it really doesn't bother me now that the fender badges say only 405 horsepower. I thought about just getting them to say "Twin Turbos" or just plain "TurboCharged", but I just wanted those numbers there. At least it would stop some of the questions like "How much horsepower does it put out?"
