I like the looks of one on the rear end above the fascia (as shown in the photos). But I'm seriously considering installing the two of them on the front hood, on both sides of the engine "bulge". Has anyone else chosen to put them there. Do you have a photo?

Having done this on a few other cars here's my thoughts...I know you are going to do what you want...based on your other posts ...nothing wrong with that...
1. emblems on hoods are usually reserved for engine related badges, such at LT1 or "460 hp" - also the C7 hood is a gradual bulge and the badges will really look stuck on a flat area, even on the bulge side. Not like a camaro at all.
2. badges that connote a suspension or track package usually go on the back, in the grill or on the front fender cowl where the fish are.
Just the way they see it at shows and how mfrs badge them.....
I can see it now your driving down the road with your Z-51 badge on your car feeling all cocky about it and you pull up to a light. The people in the next car are staring at yours and your thinking ( man that Z-51 badge has got their attention!) Meanwhile the conversation in the car .... Martha says to Fred what does Z-51 mean ? Fred says you got me I don't even know what kind of car it is !

Has anyone added the C7 Z51 emblem styled after the C7 Z06 to their Stingray? I like the styling of this emblem and the red/stainless steel look with black background. This emblem is by emblempros.com
Could not find any threat that addressed this particular emblem. (Must not be a forum vendor)
Question 1.: What is the quality of the emblem (It is supposed to be laser cut mirror stainless steel with UV rated plastics)
Question 2: What is recommended best area on 2015 AW Z51 vert to apply this emblem?
(All pix I have seen place it on each side behind the front wheel where the Stingray emblem is located; We do NOT want to remove the Stingray emblem on our car. Any thoughts on placing the Z51 emblem elsewhere? This emblem is 6" long and .09" tall. Does anyone in this forum have any photographs of where they placed their Z51 emblems?
Question 3: We have red calipers on our AW C7 with chrome wheels; any idea whether the red color in the Z of this emblem pretty well matches the red of the GM calipers which look like torch red? I asked the manufactuer this question . Answer was just red. (Attached is a pix of this emblem the manufacturer sent me)
Any constructive thoughts would be highly appreciated especially on quality of this emblem. Thanks to all form experts.

While I personally don't care for the extra emblem, I do feel that the one on the car pictured is too big, out of proportion for the location.
I have only seen one configuration that I like and it's what I have on my C6. Similar in style to what has been shown but that one is way too big for my taste. Mine are very small and haven't been available for years.
Where did you get those small Z51 stickers? I think it looks the best..
Thanks... Contact Sean at VetteFX for the stickers (look better in person than pic by the way). He's a great guy and that's were I got my splitters and Z06 plastic bits... Thanks
