Just put a nice lookin' Ferrari emblem on there, it's not that either.
In other words, not something I would do.

Default Two Types of Vette People

your question and the responses with show you the two sides of the fence.


I am not a purist and like the fact that people will go outside the box


put the badge on the car and stand back a take a good look.

If it looks leave it and if it looks like doo-doo...take it off


it is your car

I talked to a guy who had a 25 ft. Bayliner boat. He rebadged
his boat with Searay badges. He thought know one would

This kind of thinking does not make sense, whether you have
a Bayliner or a Corvette.
Good luck, it's your vette and my opinion.
