Default sacrilege ???

Would it just be wrong to put a Tiger Shark emblem on your C5 without the 427, hood, front and rear facia and other Tiger Shark parts? Heck,
I think they should have called all the C5 cars Tiger Sharks...................kinda like the stingray.......I don't have a problem with putting Z06 parts on my car but, wouldn't put Z06 badges on it cause it's not......but they never put the Tiger Shark into production it was just a concept.....so is it oK?
I can't afford to do a Tiger Shark tribute or I would......want to do the front facia and lower lip someday (wouldn't even be asking this if I had one) I would just do it .......but for now I would just like to use some imagination of how Zora might have badged the Tiger Shark and put it on........but, its kinda like wearing Harley shirts and not owning one...... here is what I had in mind for the fender badge....
Maybe 3 inches long....in flat black...
The top on is my favorite.....
but would be kinda cool to have a right and left with the second image

This would really be more to create chances to tell the story of the "tiger shark" concept.......it's just sooooooooooooo cool.

Yea, I'm struggeling to find a good reason why this would make sense. I just don't see any tie in between a stock c5 and a tigershark, hell I don't even think the actual concept Tigershark had tigershark emblems...so....??????

Honestly, it is not something I would think about doing, but it's your car.

There's a guy on the forum that's nuts about manta rays. Whatever your personal taste allows. Just remember; if you do some "unique" mods, and ask for opinions; prepare for some negative comments.

Yes
Ultimately a car is an appliance and so a Corvette is a "nice fridge" you have there so put whatever makes you happy on it!
