I'm trying to find 3LT badges for mine. If we're badging options now, let's go all the way. Does anyone make a NPP badge too?

And yeah, it does look like Z31.

I like them very much. No flaming from me. I would just suggest getting rid of the silver bar in the front grille with the piece from Nowicki Auto Sports. I really feel (just my opinion) that the silver bar looks out of place there. I also noticed that it mysteriously disappeared on the new ZO6. Gosh, wonder why.

I like it. If I had a Z-51 I'd do it. I had Z-51 badges on my 2005 so I know what kinds of feedback you'll get. Don't worry about all the nay-sayers, do what you think looks good to you.

It is polished stainless steel and the reflections affect it.

by the way -just to get this started... Npp is option for a single thing
Z51 is a PACKAGE of upgrades - there is a difference

Corvette enthusiasts will recognize it as a Z51, and non enthusiasts will have no idea what a Z51 is.

3LT is a package of upgrades but I don't see anyone adding those badges.

I'm of the less is more crowd. It's your car so do whatever you want with it regardless of what others think.

ZF1 badges will make some heads explode.

Good for you. You paid the extra cost and got the extra performance enhancements, so why not?

To me, it's like adding a "supercharged" badge to a Car after you add a Blower.
I wonder, do people complain about Z28 Badges too? After all, it's just an Option.

Funny, people don't criticize others who completely De-badge their Cars. It's a personal preference either way. A Tempest in a Teapot...
