.....with the word "supercharged" in black letters at the bottom rear of the front fender?

I hope you don't mind, I parked my FRC in your driveway to take the picture.

Nope it dosen't look dumb, it just can't be seen. 
Everyone has their own taste, personally I put mine up on the fender where the Z06 tags would go.
And I used the black and chrome Supercharged emblems from the trunk of a Buick Rivera.
I think it looks stock, "understated" but it's there if you get close enough to read it.

Is this more like it?

Seriously, where did you get your emblems? A wrecking yard, or is there some kind of Buick restoration place? Do you have a photo?

Just kidding dude. I think the supercharged emblems look cool. Not too much, but just enough to get noticed. I'm actually trying to find something similar for mine. I think I'll put it either above or below the stock Z06 emblem.

There are a number of "subtle" and tasteful sets of Z06 like badges badges out for supercharged or turbocharged applications . I have a set that read Z06 with "turbocharged" wording where the 405hp lettering usually resides. If you don't own a Z, you can get it with LS1 instead of Z06. Its a very nice understated touch.

Or is it a secret?
All you Michigan guys are going for the Z06 location.
Is that so it can be seen above the snow?
