Now here's a question. Let's suppose that I had a six-speed coupe and I blew the engine. I replace it with an LS6 engine. I upgrade my Z51 suspension to the same thing that a Z/06 has. I put the screens on, the same rotors, wheels and tires, I even get me some seat covers just like a z/06. In other words, in EVERY way, I make my coupe into a Z/06.
Would it be wrong then to attach z/06 badges to it?
Don't forget the lighter windshield, the MM12 transmission and clutch, titanium exhaust, clutch, differential, etc... not to mention welding on your body colored roof panel and chopping off the rear windshield.
The same people who put z06 wheels, screens and scoops on their coupes/verts/FRC's.
What's wrong with the screens and scoops, they are for looks and are functional. This thread obviously refers to people who are falsely trying to represent a non Z06 as a Z06.
My humble opinion of this topic is simple. Unless YOU bought it....then we have no right to administer judgement on the owner who paid for his Corvette from his pocket AND who has decided for HIS reasons to add the 'extras'.

If the Z06 additions are functional I have no problem with them. A badge on a car would not get my vote. But to each owner come the choices to make. I have the front foglight screens on my coupe as I liked the look.

Nothing wrong with the picture above - looks fine with me. Just missing the coffee can exhaust, 4 foot wing and Type-R emblem.. Oh, and the Kanji characters and ALPINE windshield banner
