06 C6 First view
As I do every Sunday morning,I visited my Chevy dealer that sold me my amazing 05 Black Z51 coupe,just to see whats there.On the front podium was a victory red coupe with comp grey wheels,very nice thought I,untill I saw that amazingly cheap chomed plastic GM badge on that beautiful body.What was Chevy thinking,get out the hair dryer!

I have no complaints about the badge. It is virtually the only external feature that distinguishes the 06 from the 05. As I was driving around my neighborhood I heard a teen age boy saying to his friend. "look there's an 06 - you can tell by the little badge".
I'm leaving mine on. If you want them off it is a fairly simple operation thiugh.

What does it look like? And where? Is it really that bad?
I'm going to put the Z51 badge on the sides. I sam it posted somewhere on this site. Can't remember who sells 'em.

I could live with that tiny postage stamp sized factory original GM badge a lot easier than I could an aftermarket stick-on of an order sheet option code number.

It is really quite small. I think that it is affixed only by adhesive, not with a pin or stud.

I'm not saying it's bad.As has been said before,any vette is great.I just wonder what possesed the designers to add this piece.On a design basis it does'nt flow.The badge is on the lower rear quarter panel,just before the wheel.
