I am gonna missed the 50th Anv. emblem on the front spoiler if I replace with T/S spoiler. Anyone have T/S+emblem? How does it look? Thanks

I think most just like the change of pace look you get without it, I just put a modified version of my emblem back on after over a year without it, the TS nose has no holes drilled so lineing it up is needed and not that easy to get right, I cut the pegs off the rear of the emblem and then cut the circle away to have only crossed flags, double sided tape holds it on, the jury is still out on the look, sorry no pictures

Without the emblem the TS front end has a very clean look - not a bad change at all.

I like mine without the emblem it has a very clean look without it.

It would take alot of work to get it back in the right location and you would have to either modfiy the emblem are drill holes and i am not drilling hole in my TS.

Not true, if you want to put a emblem on the TS front fascia just order an emblem for the rear since it has no little posts on it. It is just a peel and stick.

I hate emblems... and I hated the front plate area on the stock facia. The new TS nose is exactly what I was looking for, so clean and sleek.

I really like the TS front facia. What I don't like are the COPS looking for your front license plate with the advent of "photo radar" I've had many friends here in Illinois get tickets for no front plate

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1515209

I like it, I think... haha... some days I think it looks much cleaner and still different enough from the C6, other days I want ot take it off and leave nothing. Time will tell.
