SR1 Performance C8 Corvette Charging Bay Emblem 4.5x4.5 Chrome — 14‑Gauge Steel PhotoSTEEL Finish

A precision-made 4.5" x 4.5" chrome crossed-flag emblem on 14-gauge steel designed to fit the C8 Corvette waterfall wireless phone charging bay and attach securely with automotive-grade double-sided tape.

This emblem updates the center charging bay of 2020–2026 C8 Corvettes with a durable, high-resolution metal graphic rather than a thin vinyl decal. The image was reproduced using PhotoSTEEL technology onto heavy-gauge steel for a crisp finish that resists fading and wears far better than printed stick-ons. Backed with automotive bonding tape, it’s ready for interior installation; while the piece is robust enough for exterior exposure, we advise interior use to avoid potential damage if it detaches while driving.

How will this emblem fit in my C8 Corvette waterfall wireless charging bay?

The emblem measures 4.5" x 4.5", matching the typical dimensions of the charging bay insert for the C8. It’s flat, thin, and engineered to sit flush where a decorative badge is desired. The included automotive-grade double-sided tape keeps the piece secure on most interior surfaces without drilling.

• Exact size: 4.5" x 4.5" to suit charging-bay placement.
• Flat 14-gauge steel backing for stability and a premium feel.
• Pre-applied automotive bonding tape for straightforward placement.

What materials and manufacturing methods make this better than vinyl decals?

This emblem is produced on 14-gauge steel using high-resolution PhotoSTEEL transfer, delivering a lasting image and a metallic finish you won’t get from printed vinyl. The metal substrate resists tearing, curling, and UV degradation common with thin overlays. The result is a tactile, premium accent that keeps its look under normal interior use.

• 14-gauge flat steel substrate for durability and weight.
• PhotoSTEEL imaging for accurate color and sharp detail.
• Chrome finish options for a factory-style appearance.

How easy is installation and are special tools required?

Installation is simple: clean the intended surface, peel the protective liner from the pre-applied automotive tape, and press the emblem firmly into place. No screws or special tools are necessary for interior mounting. Note that the emblem includes one small manufacturing hole at the bottom which is cosmetic and required during production.

• Surface prep: wipe with isopropyl alcohol for best adhesion.
• Press-and-hold installation; no drilling for interior use.
• One small factory hole present—part of the manufacturing process.

Can I use this emblem outdoors or on other parts of the car?

While the steel construction and imaging tolerate exposure better than vinyl, exterior placement is not recommended by the maker because of the risk of detachment at speed and potential damage. The bonding tape is intended for interior trim and surfaces; if you plan exterior use, consider mechanical fasteners and understand the risk. Item is best suited for interior decoration and accenting areas like the charging bay, dash, or console.

• Designed primarily for interior automotive surfaces.
• Exterior mounting not endorsed; potential risk if it detaches while driving.
• Consider alternative mounting methods if placed outside the cabin.

Who is this for: This emblem is ideal for C8 Corvette owners and enthusiasts who want a high-quality, long-lasting crossed-flag accent for the 2020–2026 interior charging bay or other interior surfaces. It appeals to buyers who prefer metal emblems over vinyl, want a factory feel, and value a made-in-USA product that enhances the car’s cabin without permanent modification.
