They don't bother me, either, though I can understand why somewhat might prefer them off. Why I don't understand is the near-concensus here that the GM badges are tacky (as if the forum consisted almost exclusively of Bauhaus minimalists) given the amount of aftermarket kitsch that goes uncriticized.

So depending on where he threw it, if a GM chicklet landed in the forest, how many rabbits would it squash? Ok I'll stop.

No, but keep it. It might turn out to be a collectors item.

The C6 looks great either way but I would take them off. Your Corvette is a beautiful color.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the feedback. The weather remains crappy through the weekend, so i'll have to find another project. Heck, if I can't drive it with the top down, I can, at least, play with it.

No...you aren't. I've just been afraid of the flame job I would get if I said I liked them I always thought they looked kinda classy until I started reading this forum. I've actually considered getting a pair and putting them on my '05. Any one want to part with a set? I'll pay shipping.

Before someone rips you off, gmpartshouse has them for $3.30 a piece. Heck it'll probably cost more to ship the little turds than their cost.
