Appearance Mod, does this make me a ricer??? :D
I ordered one of those vehicle info plates that you get from Ecklers and the such with the vehicle's engine numbers on it,
So instead of putting it in the standard place on the ashtray door that's always open because I have a soda with me, I decided to cut the C4 symbol off the top and place it between the two seat control switches... My last C4 had the F45 option so there was a switch there and with the new one, it always looks like something was missing...
So, what do you think??? :jester
It's a boring Saturday afternoon so cut me some slack... :D

It looks fine. Not ricer at all. Now, if you are thinkin' of getting a wing and some "sponsor" stickers... :rolleyes:

Just kiddin'... Nah, I thought it looked pretty good to fill the empty panel and wanted to post it incase others might want to do that... The info plates look pretty nice, but a lot of us keep the ashtray door open all the time so it would never get seen...
Also, there aren't too many fillers for the empty plate between the seat switches so it seemed like a good place to put it... :D

I like it there a lot better than the place it was originally meant for. It looks subtle and looks like it belongs there. Now, if I was to get an LT4 one for my car, it'd definately be rice.

That looks good to me and I'm assuming you don't have coffee cans hanging under the back of your car......... So you don't have to run the Uncle Ben's decal. :D :lol: :leaving:

Yes how did you cut it so clean?. Looks great want to do the same thing :D
Then I ran the freshly cut edge along a file until it was flat, rolled it along the sides to take the sharp edges off the corners... If you cut right where the bottom of the C4 symbol's circle is, you'll have enough material left to file for a clean level shape afterward without running into the, "CORVETTE" part at the top...
