Jake "Chicklet"
For those wondering what Austin's Jake "Chicklet" looks like:

The spot in his left "eye" is just a reflection because these are highly polished. This was the medium size.

It's cool, but I still don't like chicklets of any kind on the rear quarter panels. But looks cool by itself 
Might look cool inside the car somewhere.
Whoever designed that gets an A+ for creativity with the chicklet issue.

I like them. They should consider making ones that slip over the GM chicklet so that people that don't want to remove the stock ones can hide them with something better looking... Of course what do I know... I have a 2005.

You say that's medium... how does it compare, size wise, to the GM chicklet?
Also, in the pic, it looks black with silver eyes/teeth/outline. Is that how it is, or is that the result of an angled shot? If it is black, that might look even more sinister on a black C6...

The GM chicklets remind me of the seatbelt buttons in my old 79 Impala: just a big square with GM on them. For that reason alone, they're coming off of my C6 when I get it (and, since I ordered black with comp grey wheels, I'm going for sinister and stealthy, not shiny 
).
I could see these being an "underground" chicklet, and I like that. It also looks sinister and stealthy. It's one of the little details that makes the car unique and personalized.
