Be proud of your ride and put the correct badge back on.... Oh and lose the wing.... No self respecting vette owner has a wing IMO... Wings are for ricers

No badge is better than the wrong badge. It's like putting Z06 badges on a LS1 coupe.

The color keyed rivets in the wheels is a VERY nice touch.

Nope, won't admit that. A C6 badge belongs on a C6, not a C5. You'll probably go through that question a lot if you start attending car shows, and runs. What's next, Z06, 405HP badges on air bridges of LS1's, Z06 badges on fenders of LS1's? It's principle, and sometimes it counts. But not knocking you man, to each his own.

Yes I made the screens. It was very easy, took about a hour. There's a tread in the Z06 section with all the details.
