I've always debadged everything I own, so I say leave it off. Cleaner stealthier look and easier for detailing.
Besides, I believe everyone will know it's a Corvette.
BTW...love the mod. Having the plate cap shaved in really looks good. Definitely shark nose(ish).

I happen to like the looks of the emblems on the car, but you're the one that has to live with it. If you like it off, then keep it that way.

I had it off for a long time and I put it back on when somebody thought my car was a NSX. I have no other emblems on my car just the front. The C5 looks looks great with or without it.... but for now, I like how it looks. Put the emblem back on

It kind of reminds me of an older Firebird, especially without the Corvette script or emblem, but it's your car and I would wave anyway.

She isn't settled after coming off the lift, but my vote is no emblem.

I have a rule that says "thou shalt not see more than one corvette logo from any one angle", so you're good to go if you put it on
I kinda like the front with the logo, but it does look clean the way you posted it.
Body man is not paying the payment is he
I'd go the way you like it
