ok, I found it...
The 50th Anniversary Special Edition, available only during the 2003 model year on coupe and convertible models, is a tribute to a half-century of automotive leadership. It includes special Anniversary Red exterior paint, specific badging, Shale interior and champagne-painted anniversary wheels with special emblems. It also features embroidered badges on the seats and floormats, padded door armrests and grips and the convertible features a Shale top. The package includes Magnetic Selective Ride Control.
That's it???

They didn't make a 50th Aniv. Edition Z06.....that's why you get magnetic ride with it. It is just an appearance package, a very sharp looking appearance package but just an appearance package.

Yes you could only get a Anniversary Package in the Coupe or Convertible. The only appearance thing on the Z06 was the 50th badge. That is it. No special color, just a badge.

I have a 2003 Z06 also and didn't like the looks of the painted silver nose/tail emblems, so I replaced them with the black ones and kept the 50th insert, (also because the silver paint was coming off). You would have thought GM would of done something special for the Z06 also (besides the 50th badge insert), but they didn't.

Least they could have done was clearcoat the emblem, maybe that would have helped.
BTW - If people read into/believe commercials, they may be thinking a Cobalt will be in same class of cars as the Vette

AFVETTE - I noticed the top right tip of your emblem that the paint came off also.
Andy64 - I think what would have been better is if GM had plated the emblems chrome. Like they did with the C4 CE emblems. GM just took the cheap route for the C5 by painting them.

Use fishing line method to remove emblems, same as removing BSM's. Leave the 50th insert in place and stick new black emblems in place on the car. Easy.

Yes BSM is body side molding.
The 50th insert is not connected to the emblem. They are two separate parts.
One more thing I liked about changing out my silver emblems for the black is the right red flag is brighter on the black one.
