Default Your C7 has it and mine doesn't!

Got my C7 last October and last weekend I was parked wit about 12 C7's from my car club. Mine is a triple black 2016 convertible with the carbon badge package option. On the back end of every C7 under the crossed flags is the stick on "Corvette" badge. The factory forgot to put it on my car. to be honest, I like the looks of the back end so much better without the badge. Much cleaner. Especially on black.

You sure the factory forgot to add that? Maybe the dealer messed it up and pulled it off but I def don't think the factory forgot that.

Many C7 owners have removed the badge.

No different here.

I preferred the clean look as seen here in my personal C7 image.

How will people following you know what model of car it is?

Mine didn't have it, but I'm the 2nd owner. Doubt the factory forgot it. Suspect it was simply removed. Looks fine either way IMO, but I'm a fan of some subtle chrome detail on a car, so did purchase a replacement and have since put it back on. YMMV. Am also going to dress up the interior a bit by placing a chrome Stingray symbol on the cup holder lid.

That's why my license plate holder says 2015 Stingray Z51 .
Just to be sure.

I have the carbon black package and the "Corvette" badge is there. I like the looks on my DSOM 2016!

What happened to the Michelins as I see you have Continental DWs?

Hmmm. I have never been a de-badging guy as I just don't get the appeal. But I have to admit that looks clean. I may have to consider doing this.

Thanks for the shamelessly posted pic. I have the same color. I think it looks much better without. I'm going to take mine off too. Does the dental floss trick work for the removal?

There's another post on here about putting Stingray on the brake light. That might look really good combined with the corvette letters removed.

Nobody should be able to keep up with you long enough to read it anyway!
