Oh you guys just stirred up the issue. I guess I could leave them off, and keep the dice since they make a bigger statement. I didn't think about the "GM" chicklets on the fenders, and the previous owner stuck them on and I could remove them like most C6 owners do.

I will offer you my opinion, take it for what its worth. Although your car is very in your face. I've always liked it. I told you I though you were approaching the limit of in your face and that very soon it might start going negative. You just spent a lot of time an money on a big ticket item, and should have the right to brag about it. So with that in mind. If I owned you car. I would make the badges known but in a very subtle way... I would remove the GM chicklet, and move the supercharged badge down there. its not so much in your face but shows what under the hood. The car is approaching visually " Busy ". at least for me... Im not criticizing just my feelings Please accept my honesty.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone installing them. In fact, I think the GM chicklet is to the C6 what the BSM is to the C5 as many C6 owners removed them.
I'm still voting for the fender. Just remove the chicklets...

I'm with Evil-Twin on this one. Your car already looks amazing and screams high performance. You could get away without any badges. If you do put the SC badges on, I vote fenders (stock Z06 badge location) with GM badges removed.

As another idea.......one on the rightside of the rear facia under the tail lights, just one and no others...
I still have a week or more to decide( if it survives the dyno).
I don't want too much.....E.T.'s opinion..... BUT, maybe I should just go with no emblems and let the car speak for itself when the go pedal is mashed. At first blush I wanted to shout out "Look what I got" but maybe I could really just get over it and keep it under the hood.
I think it'll stay clean... no emblems.

I'd lose the GM emblem down below and put the supercharged on the hood or just one on the rear centered and below the right side taillights. Less is more and you'll also be showing people what just passed them.
