They are good looking. Maybe for my desk or tool box. Not my car. If I drove a Z06, I'd already have the Z06 badge on it. If it's a C5 and not a Z06, it's an LS1 and most who know what an LS1 is know that without a badge. So... IMO, badge=rice unless it's a repo. Exceptions would be big engine cars, TTs etc.

9 times out of 10, if you have to ask if it is rice......it probably is.
However, nothing rice about a LS-1 w/ a blower......I think that badge is pretty cool actually.....the fact that it is so similar to the Z06 badge is a

When these badges first came out, I saw a lot of them on cars that year up at the Mid-America Fun Fest. They look good, but I just can't see spending $200 for two badges. If they were more reasonably priced, then I would put them on the side of my car.

Both badges have the S/C moniker on them. So I see no reason why it wouldn't be fine to put the repective badges on your coupe/vert/FRC or Z06 provided you have a SuperCharged engine.
OTOH, if you were to stick the LS1 S/C badge on a vette with a stock LS1 then that would be rice IMO.

I've always wondered about the thinking that went into designing that aftermarket badge. Wouldn't the more logical design have been to make a "Z51" badge (i.e. Z51 performance package) similar to the Z06 badge, especially since all non-Z06 C5s have the LS1 anyway.

I saw a MagnaCharged 98 coupe today at 21st Century MuscleCars. It had the LS1 Supercharged emblem on it. At first I thought he was a poser, as he also had Z06 brake ducts, but when the mechanic popped the MCM hood, and I saw the maggie, I decided it looked 
.
BTW - There are way too many vettes being worked on at 21CMC. I had to get out of there before I put myself in serious debt.

Heres my opinion. I always spend my money on performance mods first. I could never even justify spending money on appearance mods until my car was a whole lot faster than stock. Theres only 1 thing worse than getting smoked in a race, and thats getting smoked in a race with a bunch of appearance mods on your car. Again, just my take on the situation. It's your car, do what feels right for you.
