Chicklets, as they are referred to, are the small (roughly 1" square) chrome pieces that have the GM logo on them. For a few years from 2006 for a few years General motors placed them on every vehicle they produced. I am sure someone can post a picture or two from a C6.

They were never placed on a C5.

They are the worst thing put on a corvette since the optispark or whatever the overpriced prone-to-failure distributer was called on the c4's. When I see a c6 with them on it, I cringe. Least appealing part of a c6, followed closely by the beady little eyes with the fly looking lights on the outside. I'm feeling negative tonight, boys, sorry about that.
