Default need SS emblem recommendations/pics

some ghetto *** tried to steal the SS emblems of my car the other night. Got one side off and just ruined the passengers side and rear sail panel emblems. So I wonder if I should keep it original or go with a different style of SS emblems. I liked the oem black and red because my car is black and I got c5 z06 calipers in red. But i'm open to suggestions. Got any ideas?

Look around on EmblemPros site. Since you have the silver/polished lip on the wheels, a good set of stainless ones but then theres your red calipers. Kinda hard choice though.

Man, these days theres no telling what people will steal. Sad thing is though is that I'm a volunteer Firefighter and everytime I leave my car at the station or when I run a call and actually go to the call in my car, I have to lock my freaking car up and have the keys with me at all times. There has been people call into 911 for something and as soon as the people leave to go to the call, whoever made the call would be sitting down the street, see them leave and would break into the station and steal stuff from the emergency personnels base/station. Sad world we live in anymore.

We make the SS emblems in sets of 6 or 8 with the bowtie.
We make them out of:
Mirror stainless
Brushed stainless
Onyx black stainless
SS Etched Set http://emblempros.com/inc/sdetail/30/17188


Composites in 70 colors
Mirror acrylics

Let me know what you are thinking of we will send you computer renders of colors you might be thinking of as well. I also have many stock photographs of sets we have made in the past.

Thanks, Roger.

I just ordered a set stainless/Black insert emblems from emblempros. They have a really nice affordable selection. I also went with a matching nose emblem and it all totaled $95 shipped... Can't wait to get them on my Car.

Nowadays, if its not bolted onto your car, it will get stolen. Fawking sad, I know. My sergeant had his avs right-side taillight cover stolen, they didnt even bother the left side... I guess they needed a right-side and not a left-side lol. Worst part about it was it was on a military installation in a huge parking lot. But someone backed into my old bird and drove off, and somehow nobody saw it in the same parking lot. I just don't think that anyone gives a flying fawk about anybody but themselves anymore.

I need to find a way to bolt on my ws6 emblem or that will probably disappear too lol.
