*shrug* If you feel it's missing something and you'd like it better with the badges, then absolutely go for it.

ps: of course, I'm assuming your ride has the Z51, legit.

Your car so ultimately do what makes you happy! However, for fun count the badges and corvette lettering on your car as it sits now. It's easy to over do it on these cars. They come standard with eight different areas that have a badge or lettering, (counting the sill plates). Likely you have four more, (one on each wheel). Sometimes less is more, but again your ride your call.

Whatever makes you happy! If Z51 badges would "complete" the look in your mind then by all means go for it (of course, assuming you have Z51 suspension on your car!!!). Good luck.

Never felt the urge to make my Z51 coupe 'look' more like a Z06.

It's your ride. Badge it up all you please.

Have fun.

its not that i want it to look like a z06, i would never get the vents that the z's have. i had an s2000 before this and i liked the side badge. bmw, ferrari, camaros, s2ks, z06's and more all have them. not quite sure what i wanna do yet.

maybe ill get the three vents from auto zone that people put on their crown vics.

Not a fan of adding badges and as someone said in a post above it is easy to overdue "stuff" on the cars. That said she's your car and if you like the badge and you have the suspension....go for it.

To me, more badges just mean more nooks and crannies to get and keep wax buildup and residue out of.

And let's not forget what all those extra badges do to coefficient of drag and gas mileage. J/K.

I can't imagine why you would want to do that.

I have the Z51 package and no badges. I think the C5 looks better without all the extra emblems. But as others have said, if you want them go for it. It is your car.

I don't suffer from badge envy like the C6 crowd does. Do I think it would be stupid? Let's just say I would never do it.

It is your car - if you like the look of badges on the car, then by all means go for it. It's not like you can't take them off should you later decide you really don't like them on the car.
