The TT is named for the prestigious annual “Tourist Trophy” race held on the Isle of Man.

Marketing. It's all about marketing and what different companies choose to call their stuff.

Am I on the wrong forum??

I thought it meant some thing special from all the LS1 stickers I see on the C5 vettes...but then some owners will put emblems everywhere...not to pre judge anyone's taste but there is a Vette here in Palm coast that has about every add you could purchase..Vette emblems on the roof sides ,tail lights ,steering wheel ,dash ,console..engine is covered,inside the hood, under the rear fascia...he must have just gone through Ecklers catalog and purchased some item from almost every page. As for me I am tryine to get rid of the rear deck emblem and figure out some way to toss the front emblem as well.

We all have different tastes. The rear deck emblem can be removed with a blow dryer and a piece of fishing line. The front emblem will leave empty holes if removed.
