Zilla, you crack me up.
I'm not a fan of the shaved look.

Or how about filling in the "CORVETTE" on the rear bumper and moving the trunk emblem to that location, like the C6s.

I like having the trunk emblem because I don't like to slam the hatch down and the emblem gives me a place to put my fingers to close it up without getting any smudges on the car. I could possibly see getting rid of the front, but I like the emblems.

I use the same hatch closing procedure. However, I think it looks awesome without the emblem. I'm just too lazy to take it off.

No. I've since removed the emblem from my exhaust plate as well. I am now emblem free.

You're the second person to say that to me this week. Does everyone here have a dial up connection and a 10" monitor or what? I'm on fiber optic and a 19" widescreen, so I don't notice it. I think some of you guys need to divert mod money to network upgrade money.

This was taken at an indoor show, lighting (and reflection of lights) is less than desirable.
