The overall design of that emblem doesn't fit with the rest of the car, IMO. Font, size, color, badge shape is not consistent with the rest of the C5 design language.

I say take them off. Your car is clean as is and that badge sort of "cheapens" the look. Plus its always nice to be stealth. No need to advertise that it's supercharged.
And I'll say it again....your engine bay is perfect. Beautifully done!

No need to advertise. Hearing the supercharger is enough of an advertisement.

I really wasn't to excited after I put them on, I was hoping to hear more positive replies, but I think we are all thinking along the same lines!
I am also looking into have some custom emblems made by Austin Barnett. He is going to email me some ideas later today to look at!

the poll says keep them.
I don't care for just those. I am looking at the LS1, HP and Supercharged in one badge.
kinda like the Z06 badge.
I wish I could just run z06 badges when my car is done... but vette groups hate that.

That is the way to go. I plan on getting a 1 off set for my car as well, but in the middle of some other upgrades right now

Austins badges are awesome and fit the car. The one you have reminds me of the guys putting chrome letters on their rides with their wheel size ( the only thing they have to talk about usually ). Yours is understated enough that they don't diminish the look of your car but it adds nothing. JMHO.

Okay, here goes.......I like them very much and here's why. They are clean, simple, understated, and directly to the point.
I have seen the custom emblems you are talking about and that guy does awesome work, but........what you have now is so clean and doesn't shout LOOK AT ME (the emblem, I mean). It is just there, stating fact for anyone who knows enough to look and take notice of just what may be lurking next to them.
