Just got my austin barnet Z51 badges, where to put them?!
I ordered 2 badges zr1 style, all metal gun gray, but I dont know where to put them?
On top of the fender like ZR1 or below that like ZO6 style?
I'll add pictures after mounting them

you're going to get some people who suggest that you put them anywhere but on the car.

As a proud member of the Z51 Owner's Group here, put them in a sack in one of the cubbies for the next owner.

Do a search to see where others have placed them. I have seen them in several different positions on the front fenders.
You are probably going to get a lot of crap on hereabout them but its your car so place them where you prefer.
Post some pictures after you get them on.

Put them were every you want. Most people that do put them on put them where the Z06 badges go.
I just moved up to a C6 2007 with the Z51 option. It also had the wide body conversion, with the black chrome Z08 style wheels. It also has the badges on the front fenders in the same place as a Z06. When I first got the car I said those were coming off because I did not want anybody thinking I was trying to pass it off as a Z06. Funny how on the forum all you hear is don't put them on, it is an option not a model, you are trying to make people think it is a Z06 and so on and so on.
Well I have been to a lot of cruise-ins, local car shows and a few Cars & Coffee events and a lot of Z06 owners and I have talked and not one agreed with me that i need to remove them. They say screw what some people think after all the car is equipped with the option, so you are not lying. Funny how face to face is different then sitting in front of your computer.

It isn't the fact that they are scared of the person they are talking to in person, it is just that they are being polite.

put it where you want. me, I'd put it where the Z06 badge goes. I've seen Austin Barnett's work on other cars pictured here---first class stuff from a former vendor here.
after all, some people like chrome wheels, some like "Z06" chrome wheels on their non-Z06 cars,.... some like Grand Sports bodies---who cares but you?
