Default Z51 Performance Question

I ordered a '09 coupe with the Z51 Performance upgrade. My question is do the Vette’s that have this package come with a Z51 emblem on the front panels?

No. There is no emblem included from the factory. The cars that you see depicted here on the forum with badges for the Z51 were added by the owner from a variety of aftermarket vendors that produce custom badges.

Any particular reason you want an option package code on your fender?

BTW, you ordered an '09 Coupe; not an 09' coupe. An '09 Coupe is a 2009 C6. An 09' coupe is a very short car. Nine feet, to be exact.

Anywho, enjoy the new ride.

Not a big fan of the badges personally, unless it came from the factory.

You can spot a Z51 pretty easy, just look for large drilled rotors and a splash of color on the calipers.

I dont or havent really thought about it just wondering because I've seen pic's of Vette's with it, and when I talked to the dealer he looked at me like I was crazy. FYI this is my first vette so I may have more dumb question
