Nobody has to like it, but if it floats his boat, that's what counts. If he is indeed a marine, he's earned the right to do as he pleases with his vehicle as far as I'm concerned. .

Kind of funny. Other forums I am on have threads on how to remove excessive chrome badging from members' cars - like 3.0, GDI, GT, GTS, Turbo, etc., etc. When I worked in Europe, our company car suppliers always insisted that all badges that were deemed to make the cars more attractive to joy riders and thieves were removed, so the cars all looked like the base diesel models at first glance.

Personally, I always thought a Vette spoke for itself and looks its best when unadorned with all this c**p. But there are those folk out there for example, who think the height of "cool" is to buy big 4x4 SUV's and put the largest diameter chrome wheels they can find on, along with skinny little tires. Like that combo will work on anything but perfect pavement. No accounting for tastes though, as they say.

I completely agree with you! But you can't deny that it looks horrible.

If he ever decides to sell it, he can always remove all the badges, emblems, etc.
