Default supercharged hood emblems - need opinions

I put on these raised chrome letters and not sure I like them. Thought I'd get some opinions and sleep on it before I remove them. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Well, since you asked. I don’t care for them on the hood. IMO, something like that would be better where the Grand Sport lettering is on the fenders. My bet it that most here will say not to do it at all. But, hey who gives a shi* what we think, its your car...do what you want!

I think it looks good. Not too much, and is a typical location for other supercharged cars. I like it.

Up your budget and get something along these lines...

This will get a 'raise' out of some members here ......

(No, there not on the side of the car ... only on the rear)

It’s your car, if you like them there, leave em there. I like that it’s different. I also run a S/C and I’m looking for a badge that fits in the 3rd brake light, I want something subtle..JMHO FWIW

Since you did ask for opinions...my opinion is if you have to put on a emblem to advertise your blower it’s obviously so quiet nobody can hear it so you have to let people know. I would remove them.

Since you asked, not my cup of tea.

But if you like it, it's your car!

Beautiful GS, love the color. I think they look good but not what I would do. I am not big on messing with the factory look of a Corvette and certainly not on the hood. I might opt for a small single script on the rear or a personal plate but that's just me.

They don't look bad, but I prefer to stay with the sleeper look.

I think it looks perfect in that location! Very subtle. Hell, you paid a bunch of money for that supercharger. When a car pulls up beside you or at an intersection, they are going to think, wow, that must hall ***! If they pulled up and you didn't have the emblems, that would just think, wow, nice Vette.
I think it would look busy if you put it above the fender vents.

That's just one version of many custom badges available.
