Default Rear badging

Sorry for the newbie question. Is the corvette badge on the rear supposed to be black?

Z O6’s come with black badges chrome are extra cost. Stingray and GRand Sports come with chrome and black is a cost extra.

I pulled mine off with a little fishing string when I brought the car home. Easier to clean and looks better IMO.

I took mine off as well, and replaced the corvette flags with an all black one. This pic rear isn’t complete but you get the idea.

Is that badge made out of carbon fiber?

I opted to simply black out the gold with the @HorsePowerObsessed vinyl goodness.

When I ordered my car in 2016 I got the chrome badge package to match my chrome wheels. Not everybody's choice I know, but I like it. I also added a Z06 badge to the right rear lower panel like the C4 ZR-1s used to have. I just got used to my ZR-1's look from the rear so decided to add it. BTW, looks like your car was at Black Dog. Tony is a long time friend who I got to know in the late '90s when he had about 6 or 7 C4 ZR-1s (he only has one now). He usually sponsors are nice car show in Lake Forest every July but alas not this year. If you see him say hi.--Bob

I was contemplating that Z06 emblem, but decided to go with the Z06 plate frame. Looks good either way, but I'm a balance nut!

I did the same. I wanted something to say "Z06" on the rear, so I bought one of those license frames. Nice and subtle.
