Z06 Badges
I saw a C5 Z06 the other day and it had a Z06 badge, just like the one on the fender, on the rear bumper on the right side below the tail lights. Mine doesn't have that badge, is that stock for some years?

I prefer to not to let them know what I have no matter what. Yeah, it's a Z06, but a lot of people out there don't know what that is.
A guy came up to me as said "That's a stick?" And I said, "Yeah, all Z06's are manuals." He had a shocked look on his face and said "That's a Z06?!" LOL
I pointed at the fender badging and he's like "Oh! Wow... Ok. So what does Z06 mean?"
HAHA

It's easy to confuse folks who know nothing about Vettes with the 5's, 6's, Z06's...
Sometimes the extra badges look cool, sometimes not.
I have an enhancer plate between the exhaust, the original 405 badges on the side and one spare 2001 badge stuck perfectly in the middle of the ashtray lid.
I think that's it...

It's alright. This badge was given to me.. I didn't know what else to do with it. I sure wasn't gonna stick it on the back of my car. (It's not a 405 badge anyway!

I saw a guy last night driving a red C6 convertible with a C6 Z06 badge on the back right under the corvette emblem. It didnt even look or sound like it had any mods to it. I pulled up next to him in mine, shook my head in disapproval and sped off. At the next light he would not even look in my general direction. poser...

IMO, it is too much on the rear. Those people who will be potentially impressed know what kind of vette you have just by looking at it and the extra emblem may look rice-ified to purists. For everyone else, they look at the badge and probably don't know what it signifies. In closing, I would like to say that the emblem on the exhaust on mine (and many other c5 Zs) is enough extra zo6 eblemization of the rear end.
