Default Cool or not cool?
My '02 Z has a Maggie supercharger in it and the prior owner put these on the car in place of the standard Z06 badge on each fender. They look like they are the C7 badges maybe? Anyway, opinions on whether I should keep them on there or not?

Purely personal opinion. Purists may not like it, I think it looks fine.

Well, you do have a Z06, and it is supercharged.
No harm, no foul.
Run it

Looks fine on someone else's car, not mine. Personally I prefer a sleeper rather than advertisements.

It tells what you've actually got so its honest. I'm not much for other than a clean look but I do think that looks fine on your car. Have a good one!

I like them since you also have shiny wheels....If they were black, I'd either lose them, or black them out as well.
