Default Z51 Badges

I seriousely thinking about buying Z51 badges for my car.

This post isn't about weather or not I should do it but what you think of the quality of this one... Or post up a link for other Z51 badges you like.

Yep, flame suit on!.... I know there are those that don't like them. I went to the Corvette show at Kemah yesterday and saw a couple with Z51 badges and liked them. (Not the one I posted though) I like the style of it better than the one's I saw. Red Calipers will probably be next.

I have those on my black 06. They are beautifully chromed and a very nice looking piece.

If YOU like them on then PUT them on there. It's your car.

I like mine a LOT. Got them in the exact same place kronan has his.

I think they look pretty cool! I wouldn't worry about any posts about people telling you that you shouldn't do it! It's your car and if you want to put them on, that is your choice. It's like Z71 badges on a Silverado, it's for a suspension package too and has become so iconic, that people say they have a Z71 instead of a Silverado. I know I do!

I bought a pair of these shortly after buying my car but never put them on and never will. If you like them and would like to pick them up for cheap, send me a PM. (The finish is actually chrome, not black.)

I like those. They're very "OEM-looking". The tightwads can complain about the whole "model vs. option" thing but after the widebody cars came out, I always thought the narrow bodies looked a bit "naked" on the fenders.

I had Z51 emblems for awhile, just switched to "SUPERCHARGED" recently but IMO the fender vents look complete with some kind of badging.

I think those are the best looking ones I've seen. Go for it.

Thanks, but I think I will go with the ones I picked out. I like the red Z and I think they will look good when I get the red calipers.

not Z-51 badges but badges all the same. i think yours look great but then again i think mine do also. i think it breaks up the body very nicely of a c6 coupe.

I agree, side badges are a nice touch when done right. Adds a little detail.

I like em'. Adds a little flavor and looks sharp IMO - although the corvette tax on them seemed..............excessive.
