You could always get vinyl sheets of the carbon fiber material off of like ebay and make it yourself. That is what I am going to do except with black vinyl over the front chevy emblem. That is also what JohnKB8 did with his as well. That is where I got the idea from. Im getting ready to go back to school soon so I wont order my material or try it for awhile, but Im planning on it! Hope this helps

i've seen the vinyl cut outs, but im not too impressed.. I was hoping that somebody makes the carbon fiber part underneath the clear cover over the emblem

i dunno

there is a way to separate the badge with a heat gun, same idea as the headlights
ive seen people whove done it with tons of cars, most popularly, civics

but pricing would all depend on how much i could buy the bowties for, unless people wanted to send me their badge and pay for me to make it nice and ship it back

I know that its not the exact same logo, but looking through the rksport catalog, in the universal exterior section, they do have c/f chevrolet badging, I think it may be in the camaro section as well.

I used carbon fiber vynal on the cobaly and the trailblazer for the emblems, and it loox pretty sweet, u just gotta take ur time, and heat/stretch it to get it around all the grooves


the top picture the c/f is reflecting on the chrome its not commin up, its cut and a perfect fit

Hey me and a budy of mine are looking at making some im not shure about pricing it would be for the front and back and they would be pure carbon fiber not a stick on thing. We might be able to do some SS badges to but thoes are more complex.
