Default Z06 emblem on rear diffuser

Installed a Z06 Fender Emblem on my rear diffuser similar to the look of the ZR1. Took forever to decide where the best place to install it, but based on the geometry of the rear end and the fact the emblem is tapered, I think this is the best location. Also had some Photoshop fun with a graphic I saw a few years ago. I replaced the Transformers movie Stingray concept car with my new Z & added the 'Z06 Supercharged' logo to match the watermarked Stingray logo in the background.

Sorry if all you wanted in this thread was affirmation, but I have never been a fan of re-badging cars and this one doesn't really fit well. Especially with the Z06 emblem plate.

The Z06 logo on the license plate bracket, I like. Did the same on mine... but personally I'm not a fan of aftermarlet badges or emblems on the body although if you like it then that's what really counts. You have an awesome looking Z06! Enjoy!

You have four things on the rear telling you it's a Corvette. Too much for my taste I sure do like everything else on the car, looks awesome, enjoy

You should have stayed with the plate frame. The extra badge is to much for me.

Sorry brother, but that is too much Z06 going on for me. The plate frame and now the rear badge? Personally I would of kept it stock, but it is YOUR car, so as long as YOU love it, then to heck with my opinion

I see what some of you guys are saying. With the license plate frame it seems a little much so I will take the license plate frame off and see how that looks. When I saw RPI selling the OEM fender emblems, I jumped on getting an OEM part because I liked the ZR1 emblem on rear end the C6 ZR1. Appreciate the feedback fellas...

Quick, crude, and a tight fit, but another option...
