Default No trim or emblems

The 69 Vette I just bought has a custom nose with no emblems or external trim on it and I was at least going to get the stingray side emblems and the gas tank one but I think I have grown used to them not being there and the though of drilling holes or using those stick-on ones gives me pause.

I see many restomods and custom vettes don't have them but are there many stock vettes out there with no external trim or emblems?

I love the look of no badges on a vette , I did my 77 without any badges and powder coated all the trim around the windows a grey colour. I did leave the badge on the fuel lid because I didn't want to mess with the cheap alloy casting .

Yours looks so nice , but there's no way I could have a white interior.

I like that look on yours esp the gray powder coat, is the hard top black? I like that look to

Yea the white interior looks good but it doesn't hold up well
