They look pretty dumb. Don't screw up your Corvette with phony crap.

It's all to one's own taste but I personally like to keep it clean.Some of the stuff that's out there is really ugly.

Tacky. The less the better. Even the GM badges are too much.

Another badging thread.

If you want to denote your Z51 option with a badge...go for it. If you like it that's all that matters. My personal preferences aside, my only 'requirement' is truth in advertising...IMO it's lame to try to make your car appear like something it isn't.

To me they look tacky. I'm sure I do things others don't like. To that I just say Oh Well.

I think they're about as useful as another thread to discuss their usefulness.

Here's my take on badges: I like my vette to be different. So a lot of my mods are done to separate my car from "the pack". However, I have never put badges on any of my vettes. I prefer the clean, stealth look. But I respect someone customizing their car in their own way. Badges are fine; no badges are fine. Enjoy your car.

Another "Badge" thread?

A way of making it your own. Do it if you want . . . or not.

If you add Z51 badges to your car, you would be required to key it yourself.

Badges, Badges, we don't need no stinkin badge threads......Third badge thread in last two days..........Whatever floats your boat, but personally I think the extra badging looks cheap and vain. But if you want to look delightfully tacky, yet unrefined, then go for it!
